When the blog started and I reached out to my friends to write in the Gonzo Genre with the intent to keep reviving a genre often used in the most conspicuous of places. Since being a fan of this genre it has been found in every aspect of society, even in academia where Jesse, & Wozniak’s work provides readers a, “how-to guide for gonzo research projects,” I have found the style in religious texts to comic books. This type of writing has transcended Gonzo Journalism to become an entire genus of writing; simply called Gonzo that is as much about its attitude as any thing else.
I guessed it shouldn’t have been surprising that a good man whom was a frat brother of mine agreed to attempt this blog. Of course, we wrote personal correspondence in the past that was what I would call borderline Gonzo. Now there were two of us, the blog is up and rolling, and we were off. My god I thought; we are writing a book, we just don’t know it.
Next, I asked another frat brother DRock and he was on board. His love for the Guilty Addictions of beer and copious amounts of travel, blended well with politics and sports. What the hell man, only a couple weeks out and this blog is rocking along. We started assigning rolls and then it hits me; this should be ran by four editors each in charge of their own section… With the intent to eventually, manage writers under us. The next thing I know my brother asks comes on board, and I’m like that’s the fourth editor the original crew to start this thing T.D., DRock, Matt, and Chad. This is it; the blog might venture out, but never further than the original four.
The growth was quick, and we have been provided press passes with multiple organizations. A couple was a miss, but we will fail to hit deadlines from time to time, as this is our hobby. This will be the first of a long list of investigative journalism articles; The Great Arkansas Beer Festival our first official assignment to be a feature post on the blog. Sam came on board as a photojournalist, which will add some context to the articles.
The bad news is that the new president has decided to pardon himself of any crimes he may or may not have committed. An executive order is likely to be passed before the next election suspending elections until our safety can be secured. Jesus, they will come after the blog and axe all the editors and writers at this point and there will not be a damn thing anyone can do about it.
The American people are not excited to go vote in the next election. How the hell can any red blooded American not be excited to vote in the next election? An opportunity to fill the Senate and House of Representatives with democrats to stop this insane president. The wombats in this nation are swooping in for the kill, and the bald eagle must defend itself before its too late.
The wombat is a nasty beast that ambushes its prey in it's nest while the bird is comfortable in their home. Just as the average American is comfortable with their life. Not excited and ready to stop a tyrannical president, but complacent letting the beast swoop in like a rabid wombat living in the coco fields of Columbia, wild eyed and craving the power of overtaking another species. As Hunter pointed out, “He who makes a beast of himself relieves himself the pain of being a man.” These men have defiantly crossed the thresh hold of being a beast; only a beast would strip a man of their health care and watch them die like the wombat exalting their prey.
The wombat is a rodent that spends its time foraging in the plentiful woods eating a bountiful supply of nuts and seeds without a worry in the world. Like a man who inherited copious amounts of money from his father and feels he has a right to everything, like the rodent he is crude and full of self hate needing to frequently fend out the more righteous creatures of the woods. Then from time to time the wombat will crudely make its way to the top of a majestic tree by tricking the other animals into hating the entire forest enough that they help it to climb up the tree until it reaches the eagles nest; which, the wombat plagues with vile, nasty corruption devouring the eagle and all it stands for. The wombat will do anything to scale the tree even helping the lumber jack chop it down; for being in the nest is all that matters even if it doesn’t know what to do after it’s up there.
The newest press communications director in the White House was fired for his filthy mouth. It is just unacceptable said the pedophile who unsolicitly grabs the pussies of women; because hey he’s rich. We are the joke of the world, South Korea can now launch a missile to the White House, and our president who is supposed to protect us wants to kill Americans by taking away our health insurance. People are proclaiming gonzo is becoming a lost art form; they obviously haven't been to Guilty Addictions. The drugs and beer are flowing plentifully as more Americans are tripping LSD, smoking pot, and drinking craft brew than ever in our history. However, something is off the resistance is not being fueled by the freak power voter, having sex on the White House lawn; as they did to shock Nixon. Hell, you can’t blame them either who wants the President and his cabinet sucking themselves off while they watch the smutty protesters. Who can top the sexual depravity that H.S.T. once journaled about, the rich are serious perverts and it nobody’s fucking business but their own. How do you shock the shock jock in the White House?
It’s obvious the passion of the 60’s are not overtaking the freaks, lovers, and outlaws. If anything, they might be closet Trump voters. How could the baby boomers let our society fail this badly, and not stand up to such gross incompetence? The president encourages police brutality and the average Joe has nothing to say. The counter culture doesn’t give a damn we are still at war in Afghanistan, no draft so it’s not affecting them. We are a culture of comfort that never works to stop foreseen disaster either because of stupidity, or because of contentment.
The leftist are starting to ban together into militias, and the right has used this as a past time favorite for years. Will there be another civil war between the Democrats and Republicans? No! Our nation is too dumb and lazy to fight for anything. People do not even exercise their right to vote either because all politicians are the same or they just can not be bothered. In Mcintire, Iowa absolutely no one showed up to vote in their special election. Think about that; an entire city of Americans does not care about the issues that directly affect them. Maybe you are reading this and thinking I don’t care about voting, if so maybe you should just end it all. Put on an old Sony Boy Williams record playing shotgun blues and do the sensible thing. It is not just your life being shit down the toilet; it is the lives of everyone in this nation, and everyone that will precede you.
The vote is our thread that tethers us together as Americans past, present, and future. To play with it as a joke voting to protest an unfortunate situation, refusing to use it, or being belligerent with it only serves to destroy this nation. Refusing to acknowledge fact in favor of a set of fictional bravado ideologies that only serve to divide and concur helps no one. If you're not a millionaire, or a politician right-wingers have divided you from intelligent citizens, and brainwashed you to believe lies about things you can clearly see; if you look. Then they lie about the truth and their own lies, they project all their bad qualities onto the other party, and other politicians. American Politics is not about popularity, its about ruthless lies and deception. The republicans are comfortable with this method as they have been using these tactics well before Nixon. The Democrats that’s another matter, some will lie about their deviant personal behavior, but most believe in reality and that’s not going to win. With West Virginia’s millionaire governor admitting he only ran as a Democrat to ensure the Republicans won and switching his party affiliation the Democrats now have the least amount of power at the state, and national levels since the end of the 1920’s. Here is a quick history lesson for all the deplorables who don’t value education; it almost ended our entire society.
America is a nation of 320 million overweight Wal-Mart shoppers on mobility scooters too lazy to stand up for the top shelf health food, even though all they can reach is well-packaged lead; laughing at all the other nations for eating a healthy diet. Lead poisoning is slow, but it will do the trick.
