The Great American Spiritual Desert

Oh me oh my~~~the only thing left, after the spirit has gone~~~is politics, that is~~~with the exception of the man caricatured above~~~Dr. Hunter S. Thompson~~~for he was brave enough to injest the proper amounts of various drugs and so enabled to drive The Great American Spiritual Desert and delve into The American Political Machine~~~to find the spirit even there. God Bless You Hunter for you saw what others could not. You helped us all, even the ones who could never hope to understand you. As Jack Kerouac wrote in On The Road: "The only people for me are the mad ones. The ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn, or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars." You were such. Rest in peace.
