KERRY WINS GONZO ENDORSEMENT; DR. THOMPSON JOINS DEMOCRAT IN CALLING BUSH “THE SYPHILLIS PRESIDENT”
For any who didn’t already know, this weblog was named for a line from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
We’re all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the 60’s. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary’s trip. He crashed around America selling consciousness expansion without ever giving a thought to the the grim meathook realities that were lying in wait for all those people who took him seriously. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who though they could buy peace and understanding, for $3 per hit.
Anyway, I purchased this domain in the hopes of creating a website to report on the fallout of the crash of the tech industry in silicon valley, way back in 2000. It never really took off, but when I realized that I might as well ‘blog about law school, this was the place to do it.
One problem is that the Gonzo style of writing really doesn’t fit into the legal framework. Too subtle.
