THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!
I apologize for my negligence. But I haven't bothered to go out of my way to get online for a while. Not that there is any lack of avalanches of important happenings to try and get our heads around. The unemployment problem is getting ugly, and it's about time I made the sacrificial call to some call center that will hire me for cheap, but other than that I've been watching copious amounts of news, and reading. And Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 is no small chestnut. It is totally in the moment, yet it all happened 37 years ago, and for a 22 year old its unbelievably fascinating. It's light years away from the Obama vs McCain election. This book is definitely inspiring me to set my own bars a whole lot higher.
We'll see how the blog turns as a result. I've been following the Health Care Issue in the U.S. for the last while, and its pretty unfortunate for Obama that the public is scared and outraged because of the murderously efficient Republican Partisan propoganda campaigns. There is some seriously loud opposition to Obama's plan, much of which is being stirred by distortion and lies.
It's especially interesting when reading Hunter Thompson's work, and one compares the two eras of Dirty Politics.
