I heard someone say on an FTL podcast, co-hosted by Gard, that GREEN DAY were libertarians.

Can anyone confirm this?

By the way, loving the new single and CAN'T WAIT for the new LP!

I really doubt it... but it's possible.  I'll have to research that a bit when I get home.

Armstrong apparently is, though I question how principled...

Yeah, I found a few things online, myself.

Billy-Joe's been loving Obama a bit too much, in the press, to be truly Libertarian.

I could understand it if he was to preface his 'PROBAMA' (hey, new phrase coined - think it'll catch on?) comments with 'for a politician...' or 'compared to Bush...'

Wait, even then it's a stretch.
