Author Hunter S. Thompson Kills Himself
By: Mark Morgan on 2/21/2005; 1:57 AM

"Hunter S. Thompson, the acerbic counterculture writer who popularized a new form of fictional journalism in books like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," fatally shot himself Sunday night at his Aspen-area home, his son said."

Fuck me running. Not something I was ready to hear at almost 11pm, exhausted from a day of running around.

I am beside myself with grief. More than an icon; more than a genius; more than my own personal hero; Hunter was a gift from God.

Thank you for everything Dr. Thompson. I owe you so much.

To those of you who haven't read the good Doctor, please pick something up immediately. Probably "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" would be your best bet.

They only made ONE of this guy.
