To all Cellar dwellers, the passing of Hunter S. Thompson this weekend is a loss to political satire/writing. He will be sorely missed by this writer, a true pioneer of the HL Mencken strain. His Fear and Loathing on the campaign trail was one of the best blow by blows of a modern campaign ever to grace the printed page. Let us all lift up a glass of Wild Turkey tonight and drink to Hunter. So long and Mahalo Hunter, you were truly one of the greats.
