Original article: Bedtime for "Gonzo"

Any Perceptive Psychiatrist will tell you that the Widgets of American Society can be divied up into Two Camps . . . Either they be a "RENFROE HOECK" or - - they be a "STIMPSON J. KATT"

....... Granted Each & Every American (bar no exceptions) can be measured on the Personality-Richter-Scale of One-to-a-Hundred as being somewhere on that line of the Rens & Stimpys of the Land of the Free.

Gonzo or Bonzo or whatever moniker he wore was merely interesting because (poof !!) in one blink he was a dead on 100 pointer HOECK ... and (poof !!) in the next he was a Zero-Squared.

At times, however, he could get up on Stage before his Bubbleheaded Groupies and (poof agin !!) become a one-in-the-same "Ren & Stimpy" in the same, (presto !!) instant.

But this -- and this alone -- was ALL that made this Run-of-the-Mill Paranoid even mildly interesting.

For the Most Part, Bonzogonzo rambled on about how the World was so thickly coated in Fecal Matter was simply because -- (except when he came up for a Shot or a brief gasp of Fresh Air) -- Our Hero was Bent so far over that his Head went up between his legs where he then proceeded to plant Said-Head as far up his Rectum as he could possibly stuff it. His assorted Groupie-Bonzogonzo-Wannabees were simply Dangling-Dingleberries who choose to Marvel at the same Hemroidial Foci on Dear Hunter's "Personality-Rectum-Scale."

So Opined One Particular Hoeckian-Dangler:

"Thompson knew a rotten smell when He smelled it!!!" [**WELL YEAH-NO-DUH, HIS ENTIRE HEAD WAS BURIED UP IN IT**] --- "Yet He still tried to retain a little hope -- so what if was a warped brand of hope--THE FRICKIN' WORLD WAS WARPED." --

[** "WARPED?" ... WELL, HARDLY, MOST OF THOSE IN "THE WORLD" ARE ACTUALLY PREOCCUPIED FAR MORE WITH EITHER SAVING $$ FOR THE KIDDIE'S OVERPRICED SCHOOLING, SENDING GRANNY A BIRTHDAY CARD, PLANTING SOME FINE PETUNIAS IN THE GARDEN, OR GETTING ALL EXCITED & BOTHERED ABOUT PICKING BABS UP AT 8 FOR A HOT DATE**] --- "

Said Hoeckian-Dangler then proceeds ... (quote)

"Thompson was suspicious -- ALWAYS KNOWING the HOPEFULNESS and OPTIMISM was headed for the SLAUGHTERHOUSE !!!!! And HE was RIGHT !!!!! (close-quote)

Well .. My-Oh-My !!! ........... Nuff Said.

Hista Opicta Sia Bsurdaa ; Ona Hitsa - - - - Ustja Egalizla Nglishea Lreadyaa Enionssa Ssholesa ! ! ! !

QUESTION: Dis country is fulla Crybabies: Si o No ??

ANSWER: True

Lookie Here - - - NOBODY is saying that you have to learn English. Nobody is saying you even have to talk at all for the rest of Eternity.

The Question is simply this ..... Must the Rest of US subsidize $$$ a Lazy-Brained segment of the population by throwing up ALTO signs whereever Said Lazy-Brains Loiter or Exist ?? -- the answer is a resounding . . . IYE !!

In colonial times Americans spoke Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, English, French, German - - and so on. But by 1776, after the dust settled, the colonials settled on writing our National Birth Certificate in .... taah-daah !! .. English. And why not ??

With all its Quirks English is a wonderfully rich & versatile language for communication. -- English is a language of more than 180,000, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, while the German, French and other national dictionaries number less than 50,000 words.

And lest we ferget - - the vast overwhelming majority of Englishmen & women who immigrated to this land did so prior to 1800... when our population numbered only in the several millions.

THE FACT IS .... of All Americans living in the year Twenty-o-Eight, fewer than 7% actually have any English bloodlines of substance.

The Great Masses are descended from Russian & Polish Catholics -- Immigrants arrived here in far greater waves speaking Italian, Yiddish. Waves of Scandinavians, Latvians, Chinese, Hungarians, Greeks, Filipinos, & on & on & on ... Indeed we are now a Land of Hundreds of different ethnic & cultural backgrounds.

Now come a pack of Ethno-centric Spanish Slobs & Punks who Elbow their Way past Everbody Else & Demand that We subsidize their Spanish Speaking proclivities because .... just because they believe that "They" deserve Special Attention ... that they're more deserving than say Lebanese-Americans or Pakastani-Americans or Portugese-Americans.

We have a governor of California who speaks English as a Second Language ... I mean really ... grow up & git with it. Every other ethnic group learned the language and over time broke out of their ghettoized enclaves to prosper & join in the national dialogue.

We Americans are a Family. Focus on Bridges. Destroy all Barriers. So Yes, keep a hold of your pidgin or Japanese. But Focus on Bridges of Communications and we will do all right in the long run.
