Jim Flanigan Looks at the World
Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
I like to think of this blog as intentional Fake News. However, yesterday we foisted upon our unsuspecting readership in our blogosphere some unintentional Fake News in my post about getting an MRI brain scan. Before you lump “Jim Flanigan Looks at the World” in with such Trump-identified questionable news sources like CNN, NBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Weather Channel, this was an inadvertent mistake. Allow me to explain …
On the same day that Donald Trump is getting his first official White House physical exam, I was getting my head examined early this morning. Something about that seems a bit backwards. Regardless, I had an MRI brain scan today. I am really hoping they found something up there.
This all came about because of my recent head injury. Five weeks later, I still have remnants of a black eye, a sizable knot on my cheek, and a confused mind, although that confused mind may go back years before my head injury.
So what happened? I fainted. I fell. I face-planted. Why? Well, my blood tests checked out fine. My 24 hour heart monitor test was fine, although I may have cheated a bit when I connected it to a metronome for an hour when I wanted to take a soak in the hot tub. My stress test was fine. So now they wanted to look to see if they could find a reason for my fall hiding in the old attic.
As I lay on the table, I wondered how Donald Trump could ever get an MRI brain scan in a machine like this …
If this man shows up at your wedding reception …
… do not ask him to do the Hokey Pokey or the Chicken Dance. It could get ugly and dangerous for all participants.
The new Michael Wolff book “Fire and Fury” is certainly making news these past couple days. The cable news hosts at CNN and MSNBC have enjoyed mini-vacations as all they are doing is reading book excerpts and asking their guests to comment. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seems to love the book, but I pondered the possibilities if perhaps he loves the author, too.
We at Jim Flanigan Looks at the World are exclusively reporting that supposed Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve revelers Donald and Melania Trump were actually their animatronic robot doubles from Disney World’s Hall of Presidents. Guests were tipped off to something being awry when Trump spoke in uncharacteristically complete sentences that made sense, and Melania exuded warmth, although that may have been from her robot’s CPU.
There is no better way to say goodbye to 2017 or welcome 2018 than to receive this letter from the Internal Revenue Service.
Although I recently blogged that I can’t bring myself to create any more fake Trump tweets, there are plenty who still do. Here’s a primer so you can tell the difference.
Yes, it is that time of the year again, when I narrow my list of followers to those that aren’t doped-up on thorazine or any other anti-psychotic drug, sift through the handful of followers that remain, and choose a Follower of the Year. Past winners have been so self-effacing that they have asked me to never mention them again. Actually, it was their lawyers that asked, in writing via a court order.
We are in a foxhole standing shoulder-to-shoulder, ankle deep in our own filth as we bravely wage the war to defend Christmas. No longer will Barack Alleged Obama not say Merry Christmas to the American people.
OK, bad example. But how do we know the context of those alleged Merry Christmases? Perhaps they were being said in way to mock the USA for the amusement of Obama’s ISIS co-conspirators.
Thankfully, we now have a new Royal Family to lead the way to a Merry Christmas and wage war on those who only wish Happy Holidays. Just take a look at Donald Trump’s Twitter home page image …
Remember when Jackie Gleason as Ralph Kramden routinely threatened his character’s wife Alice on the old Honeymooners TV show with punching her to the moon? How times have changed.
I certainly don’t remember that. You don’t think I’m that old, do you? Although how about that Art Carney as Ed Norton? He was hilarious, or so I’m told.
Well, now Donald Trump is reviving the old Ralph Kramden trick.
It didn’t take long for Donald Trump and the RNC (Republican National Committee) to cave and re-endorse and support Alabama Republican Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore. Once they saw that Moore would not cede his candidacy to another less controversial candidate, and that the Democrats could actually win the Alabama Senate seat, Trump and the rest of the GOP (Gang Of Pedophiles?) came scurrying back to Roy Moore’s defense and more importantly, his aid financially. Well, most of the GOP did. Here’s an exception …
