The Newspaper

Originally Good-Bye Blue Monday, Now Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye Blue Monday is Politician and Humorist Paul Proteus' newspaper. Aiming to be funny, yet political, a wide variety of articles have been published, ranging from satire to personal essay and interview. A more detailed description of Good-Bye Blue Monday, along with an archive is on Paul Proteus' page. The name of the newspaper is based after a slogan in the Kurt Vonnegut book, Breakfast of Champions GoodBye Blue Monday often uses pop-culture references to get its point across in funny ways, examples include Hitchiker's Guide to eSwitzerland, Consider the Following segments and Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger segments borrowed from real life comedian, Stephen Colbert. Articles have gone so far as to influence presidential campaigns, such as when Blank Keating borrowed the slogan for his campaign from an image featured in Goodbye Blue Monday. A notable segment was the "Proteus Bump" indicating Paul's personal endorsement. This feature was retired after Paul endorsed Aramec for President, though the paper has continued to endorse candidates, often representing the Federalist Party.

Due to the generosity of a certain Kilgore Trout 89 (who originally owned the Goodbye Blue Monday name) GBM has changed it's name to eliminate the dash between Good and Bye in Goodbye Blue Monday. Goodbye Blue Monday enjoyed a loyal fan base in both eSwitzerland for many years, the nation of Paul's origin, and is widely read in the eUS where Paul currently resides. And though not enjoying an extremely high number of subscribers, Goodbye Blue Monday routinely appears in the top 5 when published.
