In 1993, then President Bill Clinton hung in the Oval Office a drawing of a bird eating a frog, still choking the bird. The drawing, tagged "Don't EVER give up!", was faxed by Doctor of Gonzo Journalism Hunter S. Thompson...
"The first casualty of war is always the truth" -- Winston Churchill (as quoted by Hunter S. Thompson)
"Nothing grabs an editor's eye like a good rape" -- Hunter S. Thompson
"The edge: there is no honest way to explain it, because the only people who really know where it is are the one's who've gone over..." -- Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter S. Thompson studied the music of writing, typing F. Scott Fitzgerald's (FSF's) "Great Gatsby" over and over... However, whereas Fitzgerald wanted to peek into the windows of the rich, Hunter wanted to smash those windows. (paraphrased)
