Interesting.
I'd be happy with John Edwards.
But he doesn't want it, so..........
Russ Feingold!
Buh?
Why does "Henry Rollins" link to a post on BoingBoing on how to make easy ice cream cupcakes?
Now I'm worried that I've somehow outed myself as "Not Punk Enough."
Lyrics from my favorite Rollins/Black Flag single. They sing love songs... nothin' but love songs!

There's so many of us
There's so many of us
There's so many
There's so many of us
There's so many of us
There's so many
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
So you can go and die!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
We could all use the money!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
We need the space!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
Clean out this place!
It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
Jack up the Dow Jones!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
It can start in New Jersey!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
Blame it on the middle-class!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
We're like rats in a cage!
It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
Sell the rights to the networks!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
Let our wallets get fat like last time!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
Give guns to the queers!
LET'S HAVE A WAR!
The enemy's within!
It already started in the city!
Suburbia will be just as easy!
That's not Black Flag, that's Fear.
My bad.
I'll do penance by listening to the E-Z Listening version of "TV Party Tonight."
A nice, well-read young man who has a lot of good ideas and observation about our culture.
He has my vote! hip-hip-hurrauh!!
I was wondering about the cupcake link myself.
Not that I'm not gonna try it, though. Cause it looks awesome.
Oh, hell YEAH! I met him a couple of times waaaay back in the day (1985), and he always seemed like a good guy at heart, even if he does have more ink than an oriental rug. 
Anybody have any ideas how we pitch this one to Obama?
My idea on the pitch to Obama is first pitch him Jesse Jackson jr., he is just as fierce as Henry.. see... then you've raised the bar... then... you pitch him Henry... Henry would need to wear a dress shirt, buttoned to the collar.
Henry "Cupcakes" Rollins...
mmm...check out those cupcakes
Henry would be fine, but I think that Obama needs to pick a female to help reconcile with disappointed Hillary voters. Kim Gordon would be a good choice.
Seriously, are there any ex-rockers at all in the Congress?
Kucinich has fiercer ink, but I'm game.
Gawd, but I wish Frank Zappa were alive.
I lol'd.
Watch out with that - you just KNOW he'd be all over Barack to put Jello Biafra in to head up the State Department.
Foreign dignitary photo-ops would never be the same again.
Hate to tell ya', Henry isn't a lockstep Democrat. I say he should just be the Head Honcho. He's just too smart to know it's a shitty job. He spent some time in DC, remember?
Henry "cupcakes" Rollins... damn near made me spit my coffee, hubris...
Henry's from the DC area... and a more hardworking guy you'll never meet.
I believe he would strike the right tone as VP. And I daresay he's no "shrinking violet"
Instead of a shirt buttoned to the collar, why not a nice turtle-neck?
He would go great with McCain, and really round out the Republican ticket.
Marshall - you've never heard Henry speak... so STFU and educate yourself.
big tiem rollins fan here..there is the dream ticket 
Tommy Times:
John Hall represents the NY 19th district. Whether or not he counts as an ex-rocker depends on what you think of Orleans.
I'd like to see him on a ticket with the Rev. Wright as nom for Prez.
There's your fighting progressive fight card.
Prof.
anybody got any opinion on Bob Graham for veep? he was right on about the war in Iraq at least...could maybe help carry Florida, lota 'Graham-cracker' voters down these parts...i dunno, i'll be pretty happy w/ anyone other than Mrs. Clinton for a start...
I LIKE IT!
Whoever gets the nod, if Obama's serious about cleaning up the mess he inherits, he'd be smart to select a kick-ass, tough-as-nails, and ethical-to-a-fault VP. And except when they're needed to break a tie in the Senate, have him or her devote their entire energy to rooting out the moles, replacing the Bible U. incompetents, and otherwise disarming the booby traps the Bushies have scattered lavishly throughout the Executive branch.
If done correctly, it'll be more than a full-time job.
And then there's Homeland Security, a combination fiscal black hole and bureaucratic Gordian knot which I believe will in the long run prove itself the rankest, most toxic portion of Little Boots' mountainous dungheap-cum-corpse pile of a "legacy". The forces that reap such a nice profit from the Security State will fight any attempt at reform tooth-and-nail.
We're gonna need a lot more Rollins ...
>He would go great with McCain.
Don't dis Rollins, HE. WILL. EAT. YOUR. CUPCAKE.
I'm with Prof Fate. Thanks for providing me with something new to think about.
At www.seattle-pi.com (the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, my former hometown newspaper), somebody sez one of the state's two-count'em-two female Democratic Senators, Patty Murray, was approached by Obama's team to suss out her VP-ability.
My 2 cents: No. She's been a vital moderate voice for several terms, but I think Senate is as far as her ambition/stature goes.
I could be wrong.
isnt rollins more of a libertarian???
i would like jello biafra as vp
now there is a progressive
and i like his music alot more than black flag
That's a bonehead pick.
Jello talks about running for mayor of SF against DiFi and Quentin Copp on one of his spoken word recordings, so he has political 'experience'.
The Orleans songs that I can here are pretty soft, but since Jerry Marotta was their drummer, I'll call it rock.
