He can be a bit one-note in his bile but he's never abandoned core punk values in what he does.Regardless, that was a good read. Never sure about the curmudgeon schtick, but I appreciated him shitting on Joe Rogan.

Funny, I still have memories of coming home from school and watching the coverage over and over. And then, like six weeks later, the pope was almost assassinated.

The wife of a friend of mine taught community college, and most of her students were African American. Back 2008, a lot of them told her they weren't voting because they didn't want to feel responsible when he was killed.
