Generation Of Swine

This generation may be the one that will face Armageddon.
– Ronald Reagan, People magazine, December 26, 1985

Ronald Reagan is an old man. It will be the rest of us who will face Armageddon.
– Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine, September 1, 1986

It’s 2008. Who would have thought any of us would live to see it? Another year, another step closer to worldwide insanity. Bush is still president. Obama and Huckabee lead various straw polls. Reagan’s Star Wars program is alive and well. Foreign political leaders are assassinated and we dwell on the exorbitant prices of Hannah Montana tickets. See the Disney special on x-mas day? The front crowd during Miley Cyrus’ performance enjoyed a pretty good view of her crotch for the duration of the song. I’m surprised Billy Ray didn’t prevent that shit.

Another year, and we’re still the generation of swine.
