We’re Not All Here…But You Probably Knew That
September 17, 2019
We are sorry for missing out on so many amazing stories
lately. We are a bit short-handed here
at Paying Attention.
Veteran reporter T. Doff is off in the Himalayas trying to
find himself. Associate Editor Allyson
Wunderland is traversing the Australian Outback trying to lose herself. Shay King has checked herself into a facility
with nice soft rooms whose walls are perfect for banging one’s head
against. With any luck one or more of
them will return in time to handle what is guaranteed to be a frenzy of
mind-crushing activity from the Orange Gas Cloud as the impeachment process,
the impending economic collapse and the electoral walls close in around him
like small size spandex on a bloated golfer who claims to weigh 239 pounds, but
is closer to 329. He never was very good
with numbers…or anything else.
Here are just a few of the literally hundreds of the Tales
From the Crook’d:
Yes, we skipped the long overdue departure of Chrump’s third
National Security Advisor John “Just Blow ‘em The Fuck Up” Bolton. Bolton says he quit, Chrump says he wa
fired. Since Chrump lies about everything
all the time, we are forced to believe Bolton.
Many pundits admit that Bolton, who has never been shy about speaking
his sick mind, is, whatever else he might be, intelligent. If only he could use his intelligence for
goodness instead of stupidity.
You’re fired. You can’t fire me, I already quit.
We let slip the Conman-in-chief “suggesting” that our
military stay at one of his shit-hole resorts, where their stipends were not sufficient
to cover their food and drinks at Chrump’s over-priced roach motel – the money
of course, ends up in the qresident’s pockets.
Some people think this is illegal; let us at least agree that it is
despicable.
We missed Ivanka proudly proclaiming that she inherited her
father’s moron moral compass. “My
father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong
ethical compass.” Seems as though
daddy’s little girl also inherited her father’s very, very large uh-brain and
his pathological relationship with the truth.
They deserve each other, and I mean that in the worst way imaginable.
Oh daddy, are you looking at my
moral compasses again?
We were unable to report on yet another fucking major news
outlet, this time ABC News, neglecting to count climate crisis among the topics
worthy of discussion at yet another Democratic primary debate.
We were unable to respond to Chrump’s claim that the reason
he looks orange, “and so do you” is a result of the non-incandescent light
bulbs. All we can say is that the orange
ogre told his audience, “People said what's with the light bulb? I said here’s
the story, and I looked at it: The bulb that we're being forced to use — number
one, to me, most importantly, the light's no good. I always look orange…and so
do you.”
First of all, no we do not, it’s
just you pumpkin-colored putz. Second of
all, you nacho-ma-cheese-mo mutant, if you had even a hint of functional brain tissue inside the rotting pumpkin
on your shoulders, you would not admit that the most important aspect of the
issue is how you look.
Third of all, with all due disrespect, you are a lying,
deranged sociopath.
Chrump thinks the artificial
light from the Sun
makes him look orange, not his tanning spray
Despite the expected immanent return of our team, we know we will
never be able to keep up with the myriad misadventures of our mango-esque
miscreant. Nevertheless, we will persist. Ed Venture is thankfully still at his desk
cleaning up my messes so the posts are not foul of typos.
I. Mangrey treading water.
