6. I'm gonna spend some time thinking about this....
what does it mean when Hunter Thompson hasn't got it figured out enough to not kill himself? Or maybe he DOES have it figured out....?

8. I'll be he just couldn't take four more years of the Bush Crime Family.
Maybe he figured, "Ahh, fuck it, I've lived long enough. I'm gettin' outta here before the shit really hits the fan."

Great fuckin' way to wrap up the weekend, huh? :(

9. Bloody Hell!!
I cannot fucking believe it. Hunter S Thompson is dead. He will be surely missed by me. The saddest thing is that there is no one with his style out there to replace him

12. I'm in a state of shock right now.
Hunter, you're one of the reason I became a writer. Thank you for that.

Rest In Peace, my friend.

14. the worst part about this all...
I heard it first on Drudge! :puke: My dad was driving me back to school tonight and he was listening to him on the radio (I had headphones on) and Drudge broke the story for me...ugh this is so sad. I told my dad it's because of the Bushes. I recall reading a story he wrote a few months back about him being nostalgic for Nixon! Talk about the writings of a depressed man!
