Environmental terrorist George W. Bush and his posse of oil-loving compadres are slugging it out with John Kerry for the White House. Their potential failure could have something to do with a grass-roots effort that’s making huge waves across the country. The players in place, Bing Futch waits for the curtain to go up.
More than two decades into their career, Bad Religion have delivered their most focused critique of an American presidency. The Empire Strikes First pulls aside the curtain of Christianity and “homeland security” to reveal the men at the controls. Eric J. Iannelli hopes it hasn’t come too late.
