2. I heard that Thompson is writing F&L on the Campaign Trail 2004!

3. My favorite HTS quote...
"America...just a nation of three hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable." - Hunter S. Thompson

4. Should be assigned reading in political science classes.
That's what I thought when I read it (and that was my major).

i 1st read it when i was 15
i don't think i got even 25% of what went on,but it WAS entertaining.i read it twice more in the intervening years,getting a little more out of it each time as i learned more of the history and context.
