Hunter Thompson kills self.
Holy crap. Damn.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm so sad and so angry about Thompson. Damn it.

This has to be the weirdest death triad of all time: Sandra Dee, John Raitt (the original Billy Bigelow in *Carousel*) and Hunter S. Thompson.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm reading an interview in Salon with Hitler's bodyguard. It's incredibly disturbing.
Ach, "neo-Nazi." No such thing. What does "neo-Nazi" mean? New Nazi, right? There aren't any. That's just a buzzword. What you have are nationally conscious people, people who say, "my fatherland, right or wrong." My fatherland, nothing more, am I right? You British say it, the Swiss say it, the Israelis say it -- "My country," they say. And I'll fight for it. The Israelis are nationalistic people, they defend their region, they defend their people. They have as much right as anyone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone needs to stitch together the Jack & Bobby talking heads storyline together. Did we know (via talking or titles) what old!Courtney revealed today? I'm also sad at the idea that Will Tippen isn't getting any more ass, since he bonded with the kids too well.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't know, ita. I feel like someone mentioned Courtney's almost leaving him before. And I think Grace's death has been mentioned before. Maybe. Who knows. The writers don't seem to be bothering much with the future storyline anyway. I'm finding them more and more tedious. Who the hell talks like that in interviews?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
> What you have are nationally conscious people, people who say, "my fatherland, right or wrong." My fatherland, nothing more, am I right?
Yes, but historically I think only Nazi Germany and WWII era Japan called their countries "fatherland" - most countries call it "motherland." It's a whole fascist daddy thang.
Yet another reason why "Homeland Security" skeezes my shit.

Did the title for Courtney always read Former First Lady? Do we know if McAllister is in power at the time of the flash-forwards?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Plus I think it's possible to be nationalistic without exterminating twelve million people and starting a world war.
Yes, but historically I think only Nazi Germany and WWII era Japan called their countries "fatherland"
I don't think that makes any difference. But it reminds me how the captian of the Bismark said that the ship was too big and powerful to be a "she" - he insisted that the ship be refered to as masculine.
