A Paying Attention™ Broken News SPECIAL BULLETIN

The Times They Are A Strainin’

February 21, 2025

If you happened to tune in here late yesterday you are aware that we ran out of words. The Paying Attention team is running on fumes and someone who shall remain nameless, and frankly blameless, forgot to pay the monthly word bill and they cut us off. Funds are a bit low since everyone spent most of our walking-around money trying to get Kamala Harris and a number of House members, senators and governors elected. Anyway we were able to scrape together just enough to get this post to press.

We Need A Nap (It’s Either That Or Reach For The ENDITOL)*

Unfortunately, there are times when paying attention can take its toll on the attenders. We have now witnessed an entire soul-crushing years-long-month of the Musk/Trump Reign of Error. Your faithful, dogged and masochistically attentive team here at Paying Attention™ have been told by their psychological trainer that it is time for a break, before something breaks, particularly our lead reporter I. Mangrey.

As you can see from this recent pick-six…I mean dick pic…I mean candid shot of I. Mangrey, vigilance has its price.

so you don’t have to

Please take this time to be with family and friends. We all need each other right now more than ever.

Or take to the streets. Or download the excellent app 5 Calls (seriously, check this out – there is an app), which makes it very easy to contact your member of Congress or senator to let them know what you think – pro or con – they need to hear from us as often as possible. Either way, call your congress critters, senators and governors to tell them thanks for fighting back or take them to task for being MAGAts.

Or feel free to revisit some of your favorite Paying Attention™ moments while we recover our bearings, our see legs and our wits – or at least half of them. We do not have a timetable in mind for this hiatus, but given the severity of our times, it could take a while.
