LOL pammala, you just never disappoint, or surprise.

Yeah, we will “call you names” like pammala does if you dare to disagree with her. But it is OK when she does it.

diversity only if you agree with commie policy…intolerance only if you agree with liberals. if you dont agree with them they will call you names, insult you and the like, its all part of the liberal class..which is classless

Dan, I watched the last 24 hours of Hunter Thompson’s life on BIO this weekend. Powerful yet sad.

The guy lived a godless drunken drugged life. The correct response to a life like that is one of regret, sorrow, and sympathy.

Cold, in a lot of ways Hell Angels is better than Fear and Loathing. It was published in the pre-Gonzo Fear and Loathing days.

For a great retrospective of Thompson’s work, pick up The Great Shark Hunt. That’s a collection from the beginning of his career up to around 77 or 78. You can truly get a flavor for his evolution from that.

Dan, I watched the last 24 hours of Hunter Thompson’s life on BIO this weekend. Powerful, yet sad. I didn’t realize he ran for Sheriff in Colorado and almost won. The story was a bit sad but powerful.

I read fear and loathing in Las Vegas and loved it.

What do you think of his book on the Hell’s Angels? I’m thinking of picking it up.

Dan and other readers, many thanks for the warm welcome! I hope you still feel that way when my liberal streak starts showing. I actually live in Parrott in Pulaski County on a “one way in, one way out mountain road” that few people know where it is, much less drive. But hey, we actually have internet up here, so you all will hear from me once in a while!
