The HillJack Journal

by Hunter S Thompson

My working vacation in the balmy wilds of uptown Honolulu came to a jarring end last week, when I got back home to the Rockies and plunged into gambling again.

My home filled up with football junkies and whorish people from Texas who were eager to gamble feverishly on every game being played anywhere, including whatever came up on ESPN Classic. “I came here to get it on,” said a cranked-up lawyer from Houston. “This party starts now!” It was 2 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon, and these rubes were already acting like drunken sailors in Hong Kong. I was not prepared for this kind of situation, but I found it hard to resist. Impossible, in fact, so I quickly caved in and went back to the dressing room to put on my traditional gambling suit — a blue silk blazer with Arabian pajama pants and a woolly pig-tail wig of unborn dog skin. By the time I returned to the kitchen, the San Francisco-Miami game was under way, and green money was already changing hands. It was like walking into a cockfight. People were screaming at each other and waving fistfuls of sweaty American dollars. A rich smell of whiskey hung in the air, and even Anita was smoking a cigar. Yes sir, I said to myself, this is my kind of room.

“Who does vote for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids like George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to kill “gooks”. They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character. They are racists and hate mongers among us-they are the Ku Klux Klan. I piss down the throats of these Nazis. And I am too old to worry about whether they like it or not. Fuck them.”

I think, quite frankly, that Mitch McConnell has lost his mind.

If TMZ focused on any other category but celebrity gossip, I imagine its leader Harvey Levin would be an even bigger emblem of digital brand building than Arianna Huffington. This is one of the most amazing trajectories I have seen in the perennial (usually elusive) pursuit of digital…

White House Has No Plans to Dump Joe Biden in 2012

White House Has No Plans to Dump Joe Biden in 2012:

abcnewsradio:

William Powers, a former New York Republican Party chairman, told the Post, “I don’t think there’s any doubt Obama is going to pick him as his running mate. The president is in trouble and Biden doesn’t bring anything to his ticket.” But as much as Cuomo has expressed an interest in running for national office, possibly in 2016, there’s little chance that he would leave his job two years into his term even if the White House dangled the vice presidency in front of him.
