I don’t know about you being an idiot, but I’m pretty sure his assessment of our generation was spot on.

The good doctor was the greatest. I met him once in Aspen at the Hotel Jerome. He told me I was an idiot from a no good generation full of idiots. Of course, I’m cleaning up the language (for the children).

I really love On the Campaign Trail ‘72. I believe that the election in 2004 was the final straw for him. The posts he put on ESPN Page 2 (Hey Ruby) leading up to the election were so optimistic and full of genuine hope and the posts right after the election, so full of darkness.

I miss him.

hmm…do I dare? oh yes…dare I do.

To paraphrase Hunter S. Thompson >

Indeed, there is something vaguely dishonorable in having lived through the 00’s and been a member of EvBoard without having been banned from the place.

One of my favorites was from Kingdom of Fear, and I read it as a dermatologist was slicing away a melanoma from the base of my foot:

“Life is a slow release from ignorance”.

Ah, true.
