Yup. I still re-read 'Palimpsest' every time I get bummed. When you're tired of talking about Gore Vidal, you're tired of talking about America. I could go on and on here.

All around badass and this nation certainly didn't deserve him. They don't make them like they used to. "Intellectual" is now an insult used by political bloviators. RIP.

Yea, bummer. Read, listened to, generally absorbed much Gore Vidal when I first became politically aware. Straight-shooting bad-ass and a good actor, too. C and B said it best: they truly don't make 'em like they used to.

Please wait...
