A quotation from Hunter S. Thompson
The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don’t mind admitting it. They worship money and power and death. Their ideal solution to all the nation’s problems would be another 100 Year War.
Hunter S. Thompson (1937-2005) American journalist, writer
Kingdom of Fear, “Memo from the Sports Desk” (2003)More info about this quote: wist.info/thompson-hunter-s/79…

"It was a face I'd seen a thousand times at every Derby I'd ever been to. I saw it, in my head, as the mask of the whiskey gentry--a pretentious mix of booze, failed dreams and a terminal identity crisis; the inevitable result of too much inbreeding in a closed and ignorant culture."
--Hunter S. Thompson, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved"The whole article and Ralph Steadman's artwork in pdf file in the link below:

I'm kind of inspired to take the best of these and act them out, with sound effects and everything. :D

Fool me once, etc etc, but hell, man we did it twice We elected these two certifiable loons and put the so-called nuclear football within grabbing distance of them both. We’re as crazy as they are. #FearandLoathing72campaignTrail #HunterThompson

People who claim to love #RonaldReagan and honor his memory are, as you read this, reciting #Russia n propaganda points on #Ukraine like ventriloquist's dummies.
The ONE thing I agreed with #Reagan about, Russia's threat to open societies and democracy. That's the bit they are turning upside down.
I swear to God sometimes I think I have been inserted into some weird hallucination of #HunterThompson 's.

Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.

Su última nota se titulaba “La temporada de fútbol ha acabado”, y el texto (nos) anunciaba "No más juegos. No más bombas. No más paseos. No más diversión. No más nadar. 67 años. Han pasado 17 de los 50. Son 17 años más de los que yo quería o necesitaba. Aburrido. Estoy siempre insoportable. No soy divertido para nadie. Te estás volviendo codicioso. Compórtate de acuerdo con tu avanzada edad. Relájate, no te va a doler". Así se despedía #HunterThompson, poniéndose en el centro de la escena, como lo había hecho con el periodismo gonzo que él mismo había creado de la mano de “El Derby de Kentucky es decadente y depravado” en 1970. El almanaque decía 20 de febrero del 2005. Y selló el final con otra de sus grandes pasiones, una pistola calibre 45.

El periodismo gonzo, tiene como característica una subjetividad y una inmersión tan grande del periodista en la narración que logra trasladarla así a una nueva dimensión. #HunterThompson, nacido un día como el de hoy, pero de 1937, fue el creador de este género con "El Derby de Kentucky es decadente y depravado", un artículo aparecido en 1970 en el efímero “Scanlan's Monthly” neoyorkino
