Look out! He's got a knife!

Oh shit!

I forgot that Hunter S. Thompson shot himself on Sunday! Like, on purpose this time, and fatally to boot.

This is the second time I've reported Dr. Thompson's death. Seems to be real this time, sadly.

I wonder why he did it? A few months ago he reported that John Kerry was definitely going to be President. Maybe he just realised how wrong he was.

Sooooo... Celebrations are in order now. Celebrations of Dr. Thompson's life and work and everything he stood for. Who's got the drugs? More good journalists are needed, immediately.

I'm gonna go home and watch the Hunter doco on the Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas dvd.
