Read something interesting today about "attention". It held that if one had a good intellect, had a wide history.....

6. Wait. What? Were you saying something?

Agreed, but it becomes harder and harder to stay attentive in an increasingly wired and fractious world. Just the sheer volume of what's going on. Sifting through what's important and what's mere fluff can be difficult.

Many, if not most of Donnie's outrages are just fluff. Case in point, his name on the Kennedy Center is easily fixed. A couple of maintenance guys, a few hours work, and it's done. What he did to the East Wing is certainly a different story, and metaphor for what he's doing to constitutional norms and stretching exec. power beyond its envelope. That's the important stuff and the question is, can that damage be fixed and how? Outlawed by a future Congress maybe. Going to be a hell of a clean up job. That's what I'm paying attention to.
