2. Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
Ironically, a young Hunter Thompson was abducted in Pickens County, SC, last week. He was released unharmed. The abduction was a strange tale from strange times, if you get my drift.

5. I've read most of HST's works.
My favorites are Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail and The Great Shark Hunt. HST hates Bu$h. I'll bet HST has a new book out soon.
