President Grohl

Foofighters frontman Dave Grohl announces his bid for presidency:

I'm just going to come clean, I have inhaled bags of 'shrooms. I haven't done drugs for the past 20 years, to be really honest. I've smoked, [expletive], like six hits off a joint in the last 20 years. I have never done cocaine, ever in my life. I have never done heroin, I have never done speed. I have had my share of acid and mushrooms and I have smoked fields of marijuana, but by the age of 20 I realized, if I don't stop now, I'll never have the chance to be the President of the United States of America. This dream is a long time in the making, it's been almost 20 years of preparing to run silently. Gathering my ideas and support. I haven't done drugs in a long time. Because they are against the law.
