2. Being hit by an asteroid's not 'out of the realm of possibility', either.
But it's not bloody fucking likely.

9. You poor twisted fool.
What will surely come to be known as the Military Studs Affair was tailor-made for Thompson. He cut his teeth on just this sort of savage weirdness. If anyone was capable of unearthing the nuggets of reality from the foul-smelling sludge of this, Gannongage, it was Thompson.
In fact, here at the Public Affairs Desk, we have proof that Thompson had been looking into the story, and had in fact come across some very controversial witnesses to some of Gannon's most blatant acts of libel and sodomy both as a bribed and drugged serf of the GOP at Talon and as a "co-ordinator" at any of the many Gay Dungeon Porn websites he maintained.

The hacks in the mainstream press will say that Thomspon imprisoned the three Iraqi "escorts" at his fortified compound, and we won't argue with that, simply because by the time this is done, Thompson's slight breech of etiquette will seem like a fratboy getting a 10-dollar lapdance next to the orgiastic snuff film debaucheries committed so blithely by Gannon and his GOP pressroom "confidantes."
And I'm guessing that's where the asssassins came in. Rumor is that they were Red Chinese hired by Rove, crazy fucks who supplemented their betel nut addictions with ibogaine obtained by Rove from the Columbian drug lords. Thompson's military grade surveillance cameras show that it took the assassins with the red stained teeth 36 hours to move the 650 yards from Thompson's propery line into his compound. The Cali cartel may be murderous thugs, but their ibogaine is of the highest quality.

And of course, Thompson's reflexes were not at their best when the Red Chinese finally forced their way into his kitchen; he had just cooked an alkaloid with an intriguing twist in its molecular structure, and the psychoactive was just reaching the base of his medulla.

It's said that only heroes are assassinated, and of course that's utter bullshit, suitable for kindergarteners and those working for Fox only, but the two bullets that splintered the Good Doctor's skull can truly be said to be assassin's bullets.

Across the sea, a former cocaine buddy of Thompson's by the name of George W Bush was spouting some scurrilous and prerecorded nonsense to Jacques Chirac, when a crystaline beep sounded in his ear. The president immediately began to stumble over his words, promising the french a grand new world genocide or some such Freudian slip, but never mind the fucking details that can be ironed out later, the words he heard pleased him.

Opponents, especially those not intimadated by the standard tools of savagery and thugdom, are always best when eliminated

Either that, or you're doing an excellent impression of a batshit loonball. I can't stop laughing!

12. Sadly, the reality is far crazier than even that.
We can't handle the truth.

His last book:

Hey Rube : Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness Modern History from the Sports Desk

From a 2003 interview with Salon:

John Glassie - In 1990, you were put on trial for what you call "sex, drugs, dynamite and violence." Charges were eventually dropped. Since then, you've been outspoken on Fourth Amendment issues: search and seizure, the right to privacy. I assume you've taken a side in the civil liberties debate that's come up in the aftermath of 9/11?

HST - It's a disaster of unthinkable proportions -- part of the downward spiral of dumbness. Civil liberties are black and white issues. I don't think people think far enough to see the ramifications. The PATRIOT Act was a dagger in the heart, really, of even the concept of a democratic government that is free, equal and just. There are a lot more concentration camps right now than Guantanamo Bay. But they're not marked. Now, every jail, every bush-league cop can run a concentration camp. It amounts to a military and police takeover, I think. (emphasis mine)

8. Sure, I got a few speculations that haven't been covered
Why FEBRUARY??? Maybe because it's Black History Month and Bush, like Charlie Manson before him, wants people to think it's the blacks doing the killing???

Why did he die on the TWENTIETH??? Could Thompson have been pointing to 9-11 as the reason behind his death??? 9+11 = 20, get it? GET IT????

Um. That's all I got.

Do I get extra points for dragging in Manson?
