I ain't terribly punk rock, but I love that these guys did this, and that in the CD's first week of sales it broke the Billboard Top 200 to debut at # 54. This week it only drops a bit to #66 (argh! almost the number of the beast! how appropriate!) and continues to sell like gangbusters. Fat Wreck Chords are just a bunch of dirty punks (in the nicest way) who hate Bush, I guess, and I hope those tens of thousands of people who are buying the CD hate Bush too.

And check out more punks who are anti-Bush, and register to vote and get that idiot out of office!
