It Was a Dark and Stormy Day

My Pe(s)t Chrump

May 10, 2018
Finally, we have a president in a legal tussle with a porn star. I don’t know about you, buy I finally feel that my life is as complete as can be fairly expected. You might think that seeing a reality-TV-buffoon with cartoon hair living in the White House three days a week would have been enough. While this was a major millstone milestone, it still felt like something was missing. Now that Stormy Daniels is suing Donald Chrump, aka David Dennison (the alias he used in the agreement he never signed), to make null and void the non-disclosure agreement that has kept her from telling the world about her months-long affair with Dennison/Chrump, I am sleeping much better. I only wish it could be at night instead of all day long. One step at a time I suppose.
We here at Paying Attention are always on the lookout for things to make your lives better in these challenging times. Sometimes we just cannot find anything worthwhile so we hunker down and create something incredibly tremendous right here in our little Paying Attention Playroom. Fortunately for you, we have done it again. Another homerun from the folks who brought you Votegra for Electile Dysfunction and Rent-a-Coma for escaping the Chrump Era. This time we bring you something for the little ones. Something that will make childhood great again. Many people are saying this. And these are the best people, who know the best words when they see them.
Many factors go into buying books for the little ones. They are hopefully still innocent, if they have not been victims of a daily mass shooting. Or pre-teens addressing 800,000 people (more eloquently than the current White House occupant ever could) marching to end gun violence. Depending on the child’s age, one might focus primarily on the artwork. Many parents want something with a positive message. Maybe something that celebrates family, nature, friendship, or maybe just a lighthearted story that rhymes. There are the classics like so many Dr. Suess titles, A Fly Went By, Are You My Mother, or George W. Bush’s favorites – The Very Hungry Caterpillar and My Pet Goat, or even 2011’s Go The F**k To Sleep. More recently, John Oliver introduced the world to A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo – a lovely book about the Pence family’s gay bunny.

It is not always easy to decide how much to tell your little ones about the world around them and how much/how long to protect them from the painfully insulting, heartbreaking, life-un-affirming insanity that is our lot under the current administration. Surely, we cannot tell them the story of When Donny Met Stormy.
Goodnight Goon
For those of you with little ones, get ready for a great new book for those children living in and hopefully, one day surviving the Chrump era. Soon to be a best-seller, Goodnight Goon promises to be, not merely a classic, but the best children’s book ever and the best best-seller anyone has ever known. Believe it. There has never been, nor will there ever be, such a tremendous book to put the little ones to bed.


Enjoy this preview from the book…

Don’t miss your chance to get this wonderful lullaby-in-print before supplies run out or all books are simply banned because Dear Leader becomes brutally jealous of anyone who can actually read.
