The libruls of SF are in despair it seems, especially the "artists". The Chronicle has been running responses from "artists" in this psycho Bay Area. I'm an artist myself (digital art, not those psychotic "fine artists"), and I'm happy for Bush

Here's one quote from "Fat Mike" that had me LOL-ing, but I'm sure many here will be "w00t"-ing for him.

Here's one quote from "Fat Mike" that had me LOL-ing, but I'm sure many here will be "w00t"-ing for him.
Fat Mike is not a happy man. "When I see a Bush-Cheney bumper sticker on a car, it's time to slash their tires," he says, calling from the offices of his Fat Wreck Chords label. "When I run into a tourist with a Southern accent, I tell them to get the f -- out of San Francisco. We're at a culture war. I'm angry at them."
Leading up to the election, the member of Bay Area punk bands NOFX and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes did more to mobilize progressive and young voters than certain red-state evangelists did for their delegations. He released two "Rock Against Bush" compilation CDs, launched the Web site punkvoter.com, and took several bands on tour through swing states.
"We succeeded," he says. "We got the word out. But obviously we're not as organized as the churches."
Even though his candidate of choice, John Kerry, urged reconciliation and unification the day after the election, Mike is not interested. "F -- that," he wrote in a statement posted on the Punk Voter site. "There's no f -- way I am going to come together with these homophobic, flag-waving, God-fearing, gun- toting, uneducated, isolationist, ethnocentric rednecks. We live in a country that's in a shroud of ignorance. We do not compromise or come together with them. We fight them and everything they stand for."
