20/20 Gonzo 54: Some Something Something


The dumb are back.  Those that say they heard, or heard of someone that heard, or knew, those that know what they're told to know, those that think it's all obvious. They've got the quotes, heard they've got the tapes, in pixels, and sound waves.  Off the cuff, paraphrases, assumptions, and innuendos.  Sources of the traiting kind.


Nose deep in money slop, and kickbacks are down.  The honorable this or that, the esteemed servants, the upholders of freedom, our supposed finest, at senior levels.  Got to have that house on the hill, got to pay some bills, got to get some something something.  That twist and shout, do it like this.  The bribery market has crashed!


The blinking yellow lights demanding 20 MPH maximum speed, local police suburban pulled up on the grassy center median watching out for the safety of the elementary aged road crossers, directing the action, making it all go smooth.  Fond memories, fantastic flashbacks, and DejaVu jolted me all at once.  It had been awhile, this former scene, this former delay, this former normal.  Caution, blink, caution, blink, caution, blink.  Slow down everybody, the future is walking by.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

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.

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.  Somew...
