The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 59.

 

I remain extremely proud to have cast my vote for Kamala Harris.

The election is history, and it didn't turn out as hoped by me and by millions of other Americans. So, given that I had implored everyone to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris as our next President in the previous episode of the After Dark series, I thought it was best if I returned to the camera and microphone to offer my reaction to the verdict at the polls.

Here's a warning to the supporters of the guy that won: This is not a concession speech. This is not a soulful acceptance of our fate and an attempt to reach out to the MAGA world with open arms. I'm not happy about what happened on Tuesday, what has happened to our country to result in this outcome, and what may happen to our country because of it.

If you don't like that, don't watch it. In fact, you are advised to stop watching or listening to any of my podcasts going forward. There's plenty of other crap on the Internet that will probably be more to your liking.

In the meantime, I will not abandon the ideals and matters of conscience that led me to vote the way I did.

If you can handle that, please watch Episode 59 of this long-running series.

The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 58.

We're back, baby -- with the traditional Election Day episode of After Dark.

Don't worry, I don't spend the entire hour ranting about why the Orange Man is bad. It's there, of course --- but in the last of three segments. 

First, I explain why I'm always wearing a hat these days. In a nutshell, I had a patch of skin removed from my scalp because of a less-threatening form of skin cancer. I should be OK, but it will radically alter my appearance for a while.

And in the second segment, I speak fondly of my old friend Carlo Imelio, former Patriots' beat writer for the Springfield (Mass.) Newspapers, who passed last week at the age of 88. For greater depth, check out my previous post from Oct. 30 here on Blogging Fearlessly.

And finally, I spell it all out -- why I was quick to cast my vote for Vice President Kamala Harris for President of the United States, and why you should too.

All here in the 58th episode for the video podcast to end all video podcasts.
