Politics is the art of controlling your environment.
Hunter S. Thompson
Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency.
Hunter S. Thompson
The behavior of the crowd at Churchill Downs is like 100,000 vicious Hyenas going berserk all at once in a space about the size of a 777 jet or the White House lawn.
Hunter S. Thompson
and the sad notes floated out to the patio and hung in the trees like birds too tired to fly
