Sports, politics, and sex collide in Hunter S. Thompson's wildly popular ESPN.com columns. From the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and father of "Gonzo" journalism comes Hey Rube.

Insightful, incendiary, outrageously brilliant, such was the man who galvanized American journalism with his radical ideas and gonzo tactics. For over half a century, Hunter S. Thompson devastated his readers with his acerbic wit and uncanny grasp of politics and history. His reign as The Unabomber of contemporary letters (Time) is more legendary than ever with Hey Rube. Fear, greed, and action abound in this hilarious, thought-provoking compilation as Thompson doles out searing indictments and uproarious rants while providing commentary on politics, sex, and sports--at times all in the same column.

With an enlightening foreword by ESPN executive editor John Walsh, critics' favorites, and never-before-published columns, Hey Rube follows Thompson through the beginning of the new century, revealing his queasiness over the 2000 election (rigged and fixed from the start); his take on professional sports (to improve Major League Baseball eliminate the pitcher); and his myriad controversial opinions and brutally honest observations on issues plaguing America―including the Bush administration and the inequities within the American judicial system.

Hey Rube gives us a lasting look at the gonzo journalist in his most organic form―unbridled, astute, and irreverent.

Really comfortable
Model: Soft-2PK, Size: Queen
I had been looking for new pillows and my daughter had recommended the Bedsure pillows as being so comfortable and soft. I bought a 2 pack queen that were on sale on Amazon and absolutely love them they are soft fluffy and have not flattened or lost shape at all. I am really happy with purchase. Great pillows great price.

Fluffed to perfection.
Model: Soft-2PK, Size: Queen
I was a tad disappointed when I first opened the vacuum sealed packaging. They were flat and thin and disappointing. Once I fluffed them (took about 15 minutes per pillow) they were suddenly AMAZING. Fluffy and soft and perfectly supportive.

Ok
Model: Soft-2PK, Size: Queen
These pillows are ok. I would not purchase them again as they go flat, but they will fluff up again once you fluff them.
