We don't know about you, but after a betrayal like the Dem capitulation to Dr. Evil Cheney and Dimwit George, we felt like taking a road trip with Hunter S. Thompson.
Those were the days. In the face of the grim reality of the Nixon era, at least people could "trip out" for awhile and flee a world gone both mad and cowardly.
Yes, this is the classic of "Gonzo" drug-besotted journalism: "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream."
We don't know if the Smithsonian has an exhibition honoring Thompson, but what a piece of Americana he was -- and none more so than in "Fear and Loathing."
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the best chronicle of drug-soaked, addle-brained, rollicking good times ever committed to the printed page. It is also the tale of a long weekend road trip that has gone down in the annals of American pop culture as one of the strangest journeys ever undertaken."
