Live-blogging the 2024 Election with Gonzo Today
3:00 PM Pacific time, November 5, 2024 – Polls have just closed in the first Eastern USA states. Here we go.
Kyle K Mann
First RFK Jr., now Tulsi Gabbard
Gabbard became an instant hero of mine in the presidential debates of 2020 when she single-handedly took out Kamala Harris on the debate stage by pointing to the ugly fact that Harris, as a D.A. in San Francisco, was responsible for putting a lot of people involved with pot behind bars, and then Harris laughed when sometime later after the debate Harris was asked if she ever smoked pot.
Summer of Weird
There’s a theory that alien beings “harvest” human bad vibes by psychic means. They literally feed off our distress and negative energy, the theory goes. If true, they are doing a mighty good job making us all crazy. The old bumper sticker “Ignore alien orders” applies here.
Why Your Vote is Meaningless
So let’s eat, drink and be merry. But don’t come to me seeking my participation in the vote this fall. I will spend my remaining lifetime not voting for the lesser of two weasels.
