Hunter S. Thompson

From The Onion this morning: Hunter S. Thompson Dies in Expected Way

Oh, wait, it's not actually a joke.

He's really dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

I mean, seriously, how's a writer like me ever going to get ahead in this world when people like Hunter are willing to do shit like that for attention?

Sheesh....

It's like being a sane artist. What's the point?

Sorry, not exactly a tombstone-quality memorial, but it's early and I'm running on sanity and a lack of coffee.
