Freedom is something that dies unless it's used. - Hunter S. Thompson

I've always considered writing the most hateful kind of work. I suspect it's a bit like fucking, which is only fun for amateurs. Old whores don't do much giggling.

Old elephants limp off to the hills to die; old Americans go out to the highway and drive themselves to death with huge cars.

The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It's come to the point where you almost can't run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip on each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.
