Before his speech in Denver, Kerry attended a fund-raising luncheon in Aspen that raised $500,000. Kerry was greeted at the Aspen airport by legendary wild man author Hunter S. Thompson, inventor of "gonzo" journalism -- the reporting of facts from a personal perspective.

The two, who have met before, rode together in Kerry's motorcade to the mountainside home of airline leasing executive and major Democratic donor Michael Goldberg.

"How does this sound? Vice President Hunter Thompson," joked Kerry, who is pondering his choice of a vice presidential running mate. "Do you feel better?"

1. Hunter S. Thompson

I gotta remember that name the next time the "list 5 people you'd like to have lunch with" discussion comes up.

2. I think the list would be the '5 people you'd like to

drop acid with'.

4. What's the Good Doctor got to say about Kerry?

He strongly endorsed Clinton in 92 and greatly regretted it.

5. But he thinks Bush is the antichrist.

He may be an ABB'er.
