Hunter S. Thompson's latest

Millions of basketball fans all over the world were shocked and disappointed by Monday night's farce of a game. It was never a contest. The Georgia boys were doomed from the opening whistle, and they knew it. They played like a confused high school team, always one step slower and 10 points behind.

(snip)

About 13 minutes into the first half, I got so bored and disgusted that I flipped over to watch a George Bush speech about freedom and democracy in Iraq. But that, too, was sickening. I FELT THE FEAR COMING ON. How long, O lord, How long? This blizzard of shame is getting a little old, isn't it? Just how low do we have to fall, before the voters catch on?


Indeed. How many times can a man be robbed -- on the same street, by the same people -- before they call him a man? Bob Dylan said something much like that in a tattered old song called "Blowin' In The Wind." Read it and weep, you poor bastards -- because Dylan was yesterday, and George Bush is now.


That is a morbid observation, at best, and we are all stuck with it. The 2004 presidential election will be a matter of life or death for the whole nation. We are sick today, and we will be even sicker tomorrow if this wretched half-bright swine of a president gets re-elected in November. Take my word for it. Mahalo.

4. One Thing About HST's Writing

is that he makes it cool to adopt an anti-Bush attitude. Republicans try to depict Democrats as whiny, naive, bleeding-heart liberals. No one, but NO ONE, can say that about the good doctor. He provides a style and an example -- especially for men who otherwise would not care about such things. It may be shallow, but we need all the support we can get.
