Thompson has pronounced on the current fracas in Rolling Stone: Fear and Loathing, Campaign 2004. “…Bush went belly up less than halfway through his first bout with Kerry, who hammered poor George into jelly. It was pitiful… I almost felt sorry for him, until I heard someone call him ‘Mister President,’ and then I felt ashamed.”

Hi. I was googling my own name and came upon this site because you had my first and last name. And it I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the site and the words you say. It’s intresting, and some articles you pick out are cool. You probably say your name as Micheal, MiKel but I’m a girl so mine is sounded different. But I just think your site is very intresting and cool. Take Care
