As you may or may not have heard, Dr. Hunter S. Thompson ate a bullet sometime Sunday evening.

Page 2 has a link to both his first and his last P2 columns. Both are definitely worth a peek.

Shocking news, I enjoyed the man's writings.

I visited Hunter's home in Aspen many years ago. I was with a group in an unmarked white van on a celebrity tour. We tentatively pulled into his driveway to get a peek, afterwards our guide said he was relieved that HST didn't burst out the door to chase us away with his shotgun (apparently it had happened before).
