| THE BIG FINALE WAS A BIG |
| By Hunter S. Thompson |
| ESPN Page 2 - 2004.04.06 |
|-----------------------------|
I flipped over to watch a George Bush speech
about freedom and democracy in Iraq.
But that, too, was sickening.
I FELT THE FEAR COMING ON.
How long, O lord, How long?
This blizzard of shame is getting a little old, isn't it?
Just how low do we have to fall,
before the voters catch on?
Indeed.
How many times can a man be robbed -- on the same street,
by the same people -- before they call him a man?
Bob Dylan said something much like that
in a tattered old song called "Blowin' In The Wind."
Read it and weep, you poor bastards,
because Dylan was yesterday,
and George Bush is now.
That is a morbid observation,
at best,
and we are all stuck with it.
The 2004 presidential election
will be a matter of life or death for the whole nation.
We are sick today,
and we will be even sicker tomorrow
if this wretched half-bright swine of a president
gets re-elected in November.
Take my word for it.
Mahalo.

Bob Dylan has his first number one album in 30 years.
And Georgette Bush is proudly screaming, "We're number two; we're
number two."

But then, of course (you knew this was coming, right?) between Judy
Collins and Marianne Faithful songing Mick, we can fit everyone into
the "Big tent of humans & republicroners".
Gray /I started to correct that "songing" but then
I decided it was accurate /
[Oh! I'm thinking The Hague for Rummie's and the Bushthingie's
summer vacation. And, well durn! I almost left out DickingYou
DickingMe Cheney.]
Guilt? Innocence? Give me a couple of hours with any of them (well,
a few minutes with BushBoy) and I betcha I can make them confess to
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
As I stated - quite clearly - back in April - neither the nauseating
little CREEP BushBoy nor his master DickingYou DickingMe Cheney is
going to make it to transition.
Whether they'll resign or be impeached (& found guilty), they're
history. Both President Grant & President Nixon are cheering from
the fifth circle of Hades and they'll both be externally grateful to
President George Gutless and with No Integrity BushBaby to have made
them angels by comparison.
Are you a loyal Republican or a loyal American.
Your choice.
Gray

| WELCOME TO THE BIG DARKNESS |
| By Hunter S. Thompson |
| ESPN Page 2 - 2003.07.22 |
|------------------------------|
When I went into the clinic last April 30, George Bush was about
50
points ahead of his closest Democratic opponent in next year's
Presidential Election. When I finally escaped from the horrible
place, less than three weeks late, Bush's job-approval ratings had
been cut in half -- and even down into single digits, in some
states
-- and the Republican Party was panicked and on the run. It was a
staggering reversal in a very short time, even shorter than it
took
for his equally crooked father to drop from 93 percent approval,
down to as low as 43 percent and even 41 percent in the last
doomed
days of the first doomed Bush Administration. After that, he was
Bill Clinton's punching bag.
Richard Nixon could tell us a lot about peaking too early.
He was a master of it, because it beat him every time.
He never learned and neither did Bush the Elder.
But wow!
This goofy child president we have on our hands now.
He is demonstrably a fool and a failure,
and this is only the summer of '03.
By the summer of 2004,
he might not even be living in the White House.
Gone, gone, like the snows of yesteryear.
The Rumsfield-Cheney axis
has self-destructed right in front of our eyes,
along with the once-proud Perle-Wolfowitz bund
that is turning to wax.
They somehow managed to blow it all,
like a gang of kids on a looting spree,
between January and July, or even less.
It is genuinely incredible.
The U.S. Treasury is empty,
we are losing that stupid, fraudulent chickencrap War in Iraq,
and every country in the world
except a handful of Corrupt Brits despises us.
We are losers,
and that is the one unforgiveable sin in America.
Beyond that,
we have lost the respect of the world
and lost two disastrous wars in three years.
Afghanistan is lost,
Iraq is a permanent war Zone,
our national Economy is crashing all around us,
the Pentagon's "war strategy" has failed miserably,
nobody has any money to spend,
and our once-mighty U.S. America is paralyzed
by Mutinies in Iraq and even Fort Bragg.
The American nation is in the worst condition
I can remember in my lifetime,
and our prospects for the immediate future are even worse.
I am surprised and embarrassed to be a part of
the first American generation to leave the country
in far worse shape than it was when we first came into it.
Our highway system is crumbling,
our police are dishonest,
our children are poor,
our vaunted Social Security,
once the envy of the world,
has been looted and neglected and destroyed
by the same gang of ignorant greed-crazed bastards
who brought us Vietnam,
Afghanistan,
the disastrous Gaza Strip
and ignominious defeat all over the world.
The Stock Market will never come back,
our Armies will never again be No. 1,
and our children will drink filthy water
for the rest of our lives.
The Bush family
must be very proud of themselves today,
but I am not.
Big Darkness,
soon come.
Take my word for it.

| THE NATION'S CAPITAL |
| By Hunter S. Thompson |

In truth, I could be a lot happier about
the collapse of Bush
and his people
and his whole house of cards
and everything he stands for,
if it didn't also mean
the certain collapse of the U.S. economy,
and the vital infrastructure,
and, indeed,
the whole "American way of life."
It will not be anything like
the collapse and Impeachment of Richard Nixon,
which had little or no impact on day-to-day life in this
country.
Nothing really changed,
except Some people went to prison, of course,
but that was to be expected,
considering the crimes they committed
and the shameful damage they caused...
They were criminals,
and the righteous American people punished them for it.
Our system worked,
and we were all heroes.
Ah, but that was twenty-nine (29) years ago,
Bubba,
and many things have changed.
The utter collapse of this Profoundly criminal Bush conspiracy
will come none too soon for people like me,
or it may already be too late.
The massive plundering of the U.S. Treasury
and all its resources
has been almost on a scale that is criminally insane,
and has literally destroyed the lives
of millions of American people and American families.
Exactly.
You and me, sport -- we are the ones who are going to suffer,
and suffer massively.
This is going to be just like the Book of Revelation
said it was going to be -- the end of the world as we knew it.
