Brew Review #2 – Soft Parade

~ Jim Flanigan ~ 1 Comment

While my first Brew Review involved an actual trip to a brewery in another state, this Brew Review is not that ambitious. I somehow happened to find myself in the liquor aisle of the local grocery store when I went to buy a birthday card for my wife. I (claim to) have no idea how that happened. Since my visit to the 3 Floyds Brewery that I wrote about in my first Brew Review, I have been searching for a local store where I can purchase gose beer, which is a type of German sour, salty beer. Very tasty, but very elusive ’round these parts.

Well, this one was not gose, but it caught my eye …

Phony Clouds

~ Jim Flanigan

Donald Trump today on Fox & Friends …

“I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist.”

Priceless. Sounds like the problem is solved and there should be blue skies and clear sailing ahead.

Anytime Trump gets to speak off script for an extended period of time, you can be sure he will drop a gem or two.

 

Circle Back to Racism

~ Jim Flanigan

I just love the circular logic in this Trump tweet …

Trump Tweet food stamps

So if we take away people’s food stamps and make participation in the program more difficult, less people use food stamps. Brilliant! I cannot dispute that logical argument that is nothing more than chasing your logical tail. However, I think it is a bit of a reach to say that A (taking away people’s food stamps) resulted in B (more employment). Maybe the last line should read … The American people are finally hungry!

I would prefer to see a similar tweet like this …

Steele Dossier Proven!

~ Jim Flanigan

UK agent Christopher Steele’s famous salacious dossier has been pooh-poohed universally by Donald Trump and Republicans. One of the things critics point to in order to discredit the dossier is the story about the Russian prostitutes and the golden showers. But finally, we have visual proof of Trump’s depravity.

I Missed My 1000th Post

~ Jim Flanigan

Not literally. I was actually present for my 1000th post since I created it, but I just didn’t realize it was such a momentous post, relatively speaking. I had seen a few weeks back that I was closing in on 1000 time-wasters, and I figured if I planned carefully, I could make a Mite Be Funny cartoon my 1000th post. Mite Be Funny may not be funny at times, but is my favorite part of this blog. Well, that was the last thought I had about any 1000th post planning, and it turns out that if I didn’t plan at all (that’s what I do best!), a Mite Be Funny cartoon was still the 1000th post. And what a Mite Be Funny cartoon … topical for Earth Day, multi-panel to prolong your laughgasm, wryly humorous as always, and chock full o’ big words! I nailed it! If you could only see me now, feet up, arms crossed, smug look on my face, head nodding knowingly, snifter of brandy in hand which is spilling all over since my arms are crossed. Geez, that’s going to leave a stain. But my smugositude will be short-lived. Why, you ask?

Whoopee Cushion – Free to a Good Home

~ Jim Flanigan

Last night I attended the Kane County Democratic Convention. Yes, it was as staid as it sounds. I was ready for a rollicking good time at a convention with cigars, whoopee cushion, hand joy buzzer and hip flask. I was excited about using all of them, but I really wanted someone to shake my hand.

Bush – Cusack – Wonder – Garfunkel – Cetera

~ Jim Flanigan

RIP Barbara Bush. When I hear liberals and conservatives alike celebrating her life and mourning her passing, I am certain she was a wonderful person. As First Lady and thereafter, she worked tirelessly to promote family literacy. Although there is some irony that the person living in the White House today doesn’t read anything, Barbara Bush and her Foundation for Family Literacy has helped millions.

I wanted to follow some of the news coverage last night including the news of Mrs. Bush’s passing, but there was this movie …

Can They Hear Me Now?

~ Jim Flanigan

Every once in a while, we lose internet service. While waiting for internet to be restored, I do check available wireless networks to make sure the connection problem isn’t due to another reason. I normally see my wireless printer and our neighbor’s networks. And then I have started seeing this wireless network available lately …

Another Edition of … Random Thoughts

Random Thought 1

Anytime I get a slice of Swiss cheese in the package without any holes, I feel like a big winner.

Random Thought 2

Instead of saying “God bless you” or “Gesundheit” after someone sneezes, I am going to start saying “No collusion.”
