Everyone else in the blogosphere from CJR to Billmon to TalkLeft to Digby has discussed Hunter Thompson's death, so I won't, except to say that I read most of what he wrote for Rolling Stone back in the 1970s. Billmon's post, however, reminded me that most of Thompson's articles were accompanied by illustrations from Ralph Steadman. Steadman has not yet commented on his collaborator's death, but his site is worth a look anyway.
