Admirers around the world mourned a man [HsT] who only recently described the possibility of another Bush term as "four more years of syphilis".

I think I'll be reading his Hells Angels soon, Im curious about his "Rum Diaries", "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 (altough that one might be hard for me to completely grasp, being european), "Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time" and most of all "Hey Rube: Blood Sport, the Bush Doctrine, and the Downward Spiral of Dumbness Modern History from the Sports Desk" .. I expect that to be a bit the same as his Kingdom of Fear.. I'll see :D

.. Its a pitty - Im curious what he d have to say about things happening & about to happen..

& DAMN I need to go to cuba :D Im more & more persuaded that NOT being in Cuba in the event of Castro's death would be something to regret the rest of my life! As would be not having visited cuba now that Fidel's still alive!!
