"Rest in peace, Hunter. Thank you for everything. We're going to deal with this Gannon/Guckert/Whoever person, and then move down the line and deal with the rest of the whores. You died on the eve of the birth of a new journalism, populist in nature, beholden to the truth and thanking the Google gods every step of the way. I wish you had stuck around to see it, but I'll tell you all about it when we meet at that clearing at the end of the path. Until then...
"Walk tall, kick ass, learn to speak Arabic, love music and never forget that you come from a long line of truth-seekers, lovers and warriors."

Hunter Thompson may have been a drug addicted drunkard, but his voice (along with Kurt Vonnegut's) was the anthem of a generation who grew up being suspicious of Big Government (post Nixon-Watergate). He never hid the truth, but did it in a way that amused and entertained. Another great light snuffed out way too soon.
