Once again, another cool man dies. This past year has been rough for unusually cool people. In fact, the Surgeon General has issued a warning that coolness is actually bad for your health. But I digress. Hunter S. Thompson, a man I have nothing but the deepest of respect to committed suicide recently. I couldn't believe it! I really looked forward to reading his thoughts on the current administration.
Anyhow, I really feel for the fam and anyone close to him, God bless 'em and have mercy on their souls.

R.I.P. Uncle Duke!
