The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same

One of my friends was on vacation in San Francisco, and was reading Hunter Thompson’s “Generation of Swine.” Still seems pretty topical, as he points out:
It is difficult for the ordinary voter to come to grips with the notion that a truly evil man, a truthless monster with the brains of a king rat and the soul of a cockroach, is about to be sworn in as president of the United States for the next four years… And he will bring his gang in with him, a mean network of lawyers and salesmen and pimps who will loot the national treasury, warp the laws, mock the rules and stay awake 22 hours a day looking for at least one reason to declare war, officially, on some hapless tribe in the Sahara or heathen fanatic like the Ayatollah Khomeni.
(September 14, 1987 - On Bush I)
A perceptive man, Hunter Thompson.
What’s especially depressing about this is that Bush senior was an enlightened statesman compared to his spectacularly unevolved spawn.
Little wonder why HT decided to take the the quick way out…
What Izquierdo said.
Well at least the strain breeds true, or is it the stain bleeds thru.
All hail the Great Leader.
