Always Trust the Doctor

Hunter S. Thompson, greatest living writer in the English language, has resurfaced in Rolling Stone magazine this month, with a great article on the upcoming US elections. As you can imagine, he isn't a big Bush supporter - and the vivid, primal feeling of his writing is still as strong as ever. I seriously wish I could write things like this:
"Things haven't changed all that much where George W. Bush comes from. Houston is a cruel and crazy town on a filthy river in East Texas with no zoning laws and a culture of sex, money and violence. It's a shabby sprawling metropolis ruled by brazen women, crooked cops and super-rich pansexual cowboys who live by the code of the West -- which can mean just about anything you need it to mean, in a pinch.
Houston is also the unnatural home of two out of the last three presidents of the United States of America, for good or ill. The other one was a handsome, sex-crazed boy from next-door Arkansas, which has no laws against oral sex or any other deviant practice not specifically forbidden in the New Testament..........."
Read the whole thing, its golden.
