It’s that time of the year again to get out the old lawn mower and fire it up, or hope to.

Stuck in the Middle
A follower of this blog and a dear friend (more like a brother, but not the brother that borrows your power tools and never returns them or gives you nut punches, but the sensitive, artistic, loving bother that would do anything for you including lending you money, hint-hint if you are reading this “bro”) has agreed to let me use this picture of his finger in a blog post for the express purpose of merry mirth-making.
Covered with the giant novelty bandage, you would think that he severed his finger and it has been surgically reattached with the hope that he may be able to point directions to lost motorists sometime in the distant future again after years of physical therapy and pain dulling opioids that I wish he would share with me. However, the bottom line is …

Burning vs Streaming
I listened to my oldest son’s podcast which is a review of some new music releases. He and his co-broadcaster reviewed the new Future Islands release, whoever or whatever Future Islands are. I liked what my son had to say. I asked my son to burn me some of that new music onto a CD or copy on a flash drive so I could take a listen. I was shocked at his reply.

Everyone in the Trump Pool!
New office pool idea …
So far, Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort from Team Trump’s administration and campaign have retroactively registered as agents of foreign governments.
Gather your cube farm co-workers together and everyone gets to randomly select a current or former member of the Trump campaign or administration. Or make it even more fun and hold a Team Trump “draft” where your cube mates can select Team Trump members themselves. Winner is the one whose Team Trump selection next registers or is arrested as an agent of a foreign government. Since there will be many more identified as agents of foreign governments, there can be second and third places prizes, too. Not allowed is Donald Trump. We all know he is a current Russian agent.
(Tip: I’ve got all my money bet on Carter Page.)
Trump Sets Twitter Record
Donald Trump, who would like to be thought of as the best in the world in everything, has indeed claimed yet another world record with this actual tweet from today …
United Airlines Over a Barrel
BREAKING NEWS …
United Airlines is reacting to passengers fleeing the airline in the wake of the passenger-dragging incident by announcing that to make up for the expected loss of revenue, United Airlines has entered an agreement to carry barrel bombs for the Syrian government.
Random Thoughts on Sean Spicer’s Gas Problem and the Trump Administration
Trump’s Press Secretary Sean Spicer should leave the anti-Jewish comments to a professional Nazi like Steve Bannon.
The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh wants to make it perfectly clear that it is definitely NOT one of the “Holocaust Centers” that Sean Spicer referred to that were used by the Nazis to gas Jews in World War 2.
Today is the first day of the Trump Administration where someone other than Trump himself said or tweeted the dumbest statement of the day.
Is there some way that we can get all members of the Trump Administration to fly United Airlines?
Trump Gorsuch Tweets Captioned
I watched the video embedded in Trump’s Gorsuch swearing-in tweet, and wondered if what they were really saying and thinking went something more like this …
Living on the Edge
My WordPress website domain is expiring. No, that’s not the good news. I hate to disappoint you (although I know I do almost every day with each blog post), but I intend to renew http://www.jimflanigan.com and continue writing this nonsense.
As we get closer to the date of my website domain expiring, I keep getting these pop-up notices from WordPress when I am working on my website …
Scouting out the Criminals
I was driving my 8 year old daughter to church when we saw a roadside clean-up crew in orange vests …
I used this opportunity as a parental teaching moment and suggested to my daughter that they may be criminals doing their community service as punishment for their crimes.
Except, they looked more like this …

Going Nuclear?
About the only good thing that happened yesterday is while Mitch McConnell moved the Senate forward with the “nuclear option” on the Gorsuch Supreme Court confirmation, Trump decided against the nuclear option in Syria … for now.
Stupid Is As Stupid Does
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is threatening to change Senate rules that require 60 votes for confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice to a simple majority confirmation, also know as the “nuclear option.”
Arizona Senator John McCain has publicly stated that anyone who wants to change that Senate rule is a stupid idiot.
Is there anyone who doesn’t think that Mitch McConnell is a stupid idiot?
That’s what I thought.
Want even more stupidity? John McCain will vote for the Senate rule change that he thinks you would have to be a stupid idiot to support.
Make sure to check all logical reasoning at the door when entering the Senate please.
Mite Not Be Funny
At this point, you may have detected a pattern. Each weekend for the past 4, I have issued a cartoon about mites called “Mite Be Funny.” I am continually asked “Why?” Let’s just say that mite humor is not winning over my fan base. I started “Mite Be Funny” because I viewed the arachnid population as an under-served demographic when it comes to humor. Oh sure, there are plenty of spider jokes like …

In a related story, Kushner’s trip to Iraq is being sponsored by Depend for Men.
