Why help them? They ban you for any excuse. How does it feel???
The illegals use those voters who are dead, moved, or inactive to commit voter fraud. With the help of the Dems of course.

Update: Last week I received the unfortunate news that Bill passed away on February 25, 2006. He has been ill with bacterial pneumonia for some time; and cause of death is given as cardiac arrest.
Update 2003: Apparently Bill is living in Lucerne, California, having survived throat cancer. You can also find an article by Bill in the June 1977 issue of Hustler called "The San Francisco Fag Murders". Your best bet to find this is eBay.

In a nut, coiner of the phrase "gonzo" and close friend of HST. The Maltese Sangweech, his first book, is a collection of articles written in the seventies. He was born and raised in Boston, worked for the Boston Globe and eventually became a freelance writer. His coverage of the 1968 McCarthy campaign earned him a national reputation. According to the flap of Sangweech, he currently lives in California and was working on another book.
Recollections from Hunter, by E. Jean Carroll:
Hunter's such an amazingly brutish physical specimen. I couldn't believe his stamina. I remember he tore apart his hotel room in New Hampshire when he was covering Jean-Claude Killy. It was a f–king mess…I mean just demolished it. Everything. I said "I'm getting outta here. I'm the editor of The Boston Globe Magazine. The police are going to be here any minute."…Then he wrote the Kentucky Derby piece…And I sent him a letter. I said, "I don't know what the f–k you're doing, but you've changed everything. It's totally gonzo.
I think the word comes from the French Canadian. It's a corruption of g-o-n-z-e-a-u-x. Which is French Canadian for "shining path".
>My marriage had broken up. I was brokenhearted and crazy. And he (HST) invited me to come to Colorado and cool out. He put me in the cellar of Owl Farm. It was like being in a penitentiary. It was a tiny little room, a penitent's cell. I had to go through a trapdoor. Then down a ladder. And then Hunter would bolt the trapdoor. And lock me down there and not allow me to come up until he left the house. I'm telling you the truth. He had to lower a bottle of scotch on a rope in the morning. Then Sandy would unlatch the trapdoor and I would come up and I would drink scotch with her. Then in the evening we would go to the Hotel Jerome and meet Hunter.
He had the world's fastest motorcycle. It was in Hollywood. He asked me to drive him to Orange County. It was night. He had to pick up the bike. It was Japanese. It was supposed to be the fastest bike in the world. He check everything out. Got on, and that was the end of him. He roared off to hell.
Cardoso and HST were together again for the Rumble in the Jungle in Zaire. Rather interestingly, Cardoso's name is spelt Cardoza in Shadow Box as well as in When the Going Gets Weird by Peter O. Whitmer. George Plimpton fondly writes of the pair:
Cardoza and Thompson talked in an odd pidgin English they had developed: "He very m'Bele. He okay. Very, very m'Bele." Cardoza said that his English had disintegrated, since his arrival in September, into an amalgam of Lingala, French and English, plus a little Portuguese in deference to his own blood, and his and Thompson's behavior around town was almost as puzzling as their language. In the bars Hunter signed his a number of his checks "Martin Bormann" and Cardoza signed his "Pottstown Batal Bogas" - a name had made up for an imaginary football team. Occasionally, Cardoza would lean forward and grasp two black miniature hands hanging from a thin gold chain around Hunter's neck and shake them at people in the bars. He introduced Thompson as Chief N'Doke from the Foreman camp - "Big Doctore." Thompson let himself be pushed around by his small, agile friend, his necklace shaken at people. He seemed very abstracted. It was often apparent he had Martin Bormann on his mind. (Plimpton, p226)
Maltese Sangweech cover
The Maltese Sangweech is a collection of articles by Cardoso, including his Zaire piece. It is endorsed by Thompson on the jacket. I really find his writing interesting - it's almost the same as Terry Southern, but more sensitive. Like all good gonzo journalists, getting the story and being a part of the story is the story. By pure chance I found this mint copy (I seriously doubt it had been read, it was like new) for $4 at a used book store.

I find it odd that in researching E. Jean Carroll, that her age keeps changing. This article says she's 72 in 2015. Anyway, just another article I found about her dating app Tawkify:
A 72-year-old advice columnist launched a matchmaking service out of Stanford's startup accelerator
Madeline Stone Feb. 4, 2015, 2:47 PM
From the now classic OkCupid to the ultra-exclusive newcomer The League, there are plenty of sites you can use to jumpstart your love life.
But none of that compares to the services of a real-life matchmaker — at least according to the founders of young matchmaking startup Tawkify.
"Human language is incredibly limiting," cofounder E. Jean Carroll said to Business Insider. "People are not always completely honest when describing themselves online. Algorithms don't work. A computer can't match people."
Carroll has written the popular "Ask E. Jean" advice column in Elle magazine since 1993. It's the longest currently running advice column in American publishing, doling out wisdom relating to love, relationships, and general etiquette and professionalism. Carroll has also written for "Saturday Night Live," Esquire, and Outside, and she was the first female contributing editor at Playboy.
Tawkify, however, is her first foray into the startup world. And even this startup takes a more traditional approach to dating than you would find elsewhere.
Daters are paired with a matchmaker who goes through other daters' Tawkify profiles to find someone he or she thinks would be a good fit. After talking with prospective dates in person or on the phone, the matchmaker then arranges a date for the two of them. Users pay a monthly fee of $599 to be set up with two new people a month, though it's up to the individual if he or she wants to go on a second date with a person they've met through their matchmaker.
Tawkify sees itself as a full concierge service, as opposed to a match generator that relies on algorithms and technology.
"We just bang them together. We have no control over anything," Carroll said. "Even though we're a matchmaker business and say we have data, data, data, we have no control. Mother nature controls it. We just make sure the matchmaker gets them out and they make good choices."
The dates are always packed with activities — recent planned dates include whiskey crawls and rock and roll tours through New York City.
"We never want people to just be sitting around at dinner. It becomes like an interview, asking things like 'What do you do?' and 'Where do you work?'" cofounder Kenneth Shaw said. "If you're out doing stuff, you start to see people in a different light and start to learn more about their interests."
>Shaw and Carroll met more than five years ago, when Elle magazine was looking for an engineer to build its Facebook app. After looking at the top apps on Facebook, they stumbled upon My Purity Test, a quiz-like app that Shaw had built while he was a resident advisor at Stanford.
>With more than 6 million users, My Purity Test was going viral on college campuses and had reached Facebook's top 30 most popular apps. Shaw sold My Purity Test to Speeddate.com in November 2007, shortly after finishing his bachelor's degree at Stanford.
>He later went on to work at Microsoft and was the principal imagineer at One Kings Lane before launching Tawkify with Carroll in 2012.
"We basically started Tawkify because Kenneth needed a girlfriend," Carroll said with a laugh. "And it worked."
>Carroll and Shaw decided to jumpstart their business last summer by applying for StartX, the startup accelerator funded by Stanford. As a company that only minimally uses tech and has a founder in her 70s, Tawkify is not your typical StartX company.
"The level of brain power at StartX is staggering. People are creating products that will solve global warming and medical crises," Carroll said. "It was brilliant."
Shaw added that the 10-week program helped Tawkify to rearrange its compensation structure as well as its company culture and email marketing strategy. Matchmakers now earn 40% of their clients' monthly fees.
"We learned so much just from being with the other founders," he said. "StartX has a really amazing mentor network."
Tawkify currently has 27 matchmakers in New York City and San Francisco, with "hundreds" of users, and has plans to expand to Boston in March. Anyone not living in those markets can still use Tawkify, though they'll be charged a discounted fee to video chat with their matchmaker.
