20/20 Gonzo 44: Freak Out And Scatter


The aftermath of the landslide will be full of shocks and fits and depressions.  Like the last landslide.  Self-righteous snickering mixed with deluded minds, shaming tactics, and disrespect.  Lots to snore about for now, but the day after election day is under 100 days away.  The rats will freak out and scatter, rodents are fairly predictable.

The intelligence of the overall American population has been insulted.  Eyes, ears, even smells, senses don't lie to people with sense.  Most see, hear, and smell bullshit when they see, hear, and smell bullshit.  The current mental note scene seems very active, people generally hate being taken for fools.  They will land, they will slide, they will vote.

Curious about economics and the reality of the big Cincinnati Tennis Tournament, weirdly scheduled to be played in a NYC 'bubble' next month, set to pay the winner $280k instead of the $1.2 million paid out last year.  Sign of things to come perhaps, professional sports is in for a reckoning.  The naming of stadiums won't command the same price, TV revenue will decline, no expensive warm beer, no parking revenues, no ticket sales, no swag dollars.  Demand will determine the supply, balance sheets will be balanced, Laissez Faire is in our collective economic genetic code.  For now, we rest up, for now we snore.

Red Mud Gonzo: Twenty Nine

  "No Controversy" by jpg Researching Max Purcell.  Has a Wimbledon title in doubles.  No controversy to speak of, but he's only won a third of his singles matches for his career.  Michael Mmoh's got wins against Zverev, Auger-Alassime, and Hubie.  Both 26 years of age, Purcell's won $3.5 million, Mmoh's at $2.5 million.  Not bad. "Whataburger Sucks" by jpg TTop was curious about the knife.  This dude spent 5 years in the Mojave desert, said he lost his sense of reality, said he'd defend his country again if he had to, I thought he wanted something to go down.  Told TTop the knife was for killing humans, if needed.  He wore his pistol in a holster for everyone to see.  *The double meat burger at the TX Burger in Fairfield, Texas was 5 of 5 stars.  Deep down, we all know Whataburger sucks. "1st Victim" by The Mayor Dumb ass.  Loses the element of surprise and becomes the 1st victim.  Add to it, he is carrying an oversi...

Maniacs And Friends

last night i dreamed i forgave everybody for anything ever done anytime before. there were fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers, not to mention extended family. then the people all around -- toilers, drivers, watchers, lovers, maniacs, and friends. things they did, said, implied, yelled, things they ignored, they insisted, they resisted. i was talking with each of them individually, taking my time, and we were committed. nods and shakes, aknowledgments accepted and replaced with a debt of some sort. a responsibility to forgive others in the same manner, slate picked clean and put up. minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, and generations will pass either way.
