Pictured from left: Pat Thetic (drums), Chris #2 (bass & vocals), and Justin Sane (vocals & guitar) of Anti-Flag. McDermott (D-WA) appears at right ( in scarf) with three staffers.
If I were a Republican operative tasked with satisfying the grassroots depleted uranium lobby in my community, I'd push this meeting of the minds between Anti-Flag and the Democratic House Representative from Washington for all it's worth. The Hill reports that Jim "I've Got the Straight Edge" McDermott attracted a fan-following among the members of Anti-Flag with H.R. 2410, legislation proposed to study the long-term effects of exposure to depleted uranium (used in a variety of munitions and military-grade materials) on American soldiers. (The military assures that depleted uranium supports our troops.) Rep. McDermott even went so far as to lend some guest vox (I'm not kidding) to "Depleted Uranium Is a War Crime"—the last track on Anti-Flag's latest, For Blood and Empire, an album that calls attention to the central importance of family and faith in the American heartland.
Man, remember Anti-Flag? I used to be young and fuckin punk. Like Big McD.

Posted by: Janise Bapties at June 27, 2011 1:13 AMYou actually make it seem really easy along with your presentation however I to find this matter to be actually something which I think I would by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and extremely large for me. I am having a look ahead on your next publish, I will attempt to get the hold of it!
