Hunter S. Thompson Kills Himself.

I just found out.
This Sucks.
I am numb.

What more can I add to the blogosphere that hasn't already spread like red-yellow wildfire? He touched many who loved him or hated him or a strange combination of both. He influenced and inspired a generation or two. He added a bit of fun and flare to politics, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and everything else he wrote about. An enigmatic, savage warrior writer who fought the Good Fight.

A few stories about Dr. Hunter Stockton Thompson's death follow.
