This is terrible. I'm kind of hoping it's one of his wacked out pranks but I don't think so.

The man was an enigma. A great writer. An ardent supporter of the Second Amendment. A political scholar. A demented liberal hippie.

"But do not be deceived. In "Kingdom of Fear" and in a telephone interview with Salon from his compound in Aspen, Colo., Thompson did what he's always done: speak the truth about American society as he sees it, without worrying much about decorum. "Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads?" he writes, referring to the people currently occupying the White House. "They are the racists and hate mongers among us -- they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis."
That's his enduring attitude in this new age of darkness: a lot more loathing than fear. "
Sayonara and good riddance....
