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.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somewhat mobbish, if the mob was a bunch of silly

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.
