I am more than just a serious basketball fan. I am a life-long addict. I was addicted from birth, in fact, because I was born in Kentucky and I learned, early on, that Habitual Domination was a natural way of life.
Hunter S. Thompson
On some days you get what you want, and on others, you get what you need.
Hunter S. Thompson
An outlaw can be defined as somebody who lives outside the law, beyond the law and not necessarily against it.
Hunter S. Thompson
Which is not really a hell of a lot to ask, Lord, because the final incredible truth is that I am not guilty. All I did was take your gibberish seriously... and you see where it got me? My primitive Christian instincts have made me a criminal.
Hunter S. Thompson
...the crazy never die.

I believe the Republicans have never thought that democracy was anything but a tribal myth.
