Jim Flanigan Looks at the World
Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
This post is an excellent example of why details like grammar and spelling are so important. If the title had been “I Will Miss Eating Weed,” then you wouldn’t give it a second thought, and you may think that actually explains a lot of my rambling, nonsensical posts, along with the mite cartoons. But the word I used is the plural weeds, not the singular weed. Yes, I started eating weeds this summer.
If you haven’t been paying attention, Democrats are absolutely giddy over the latest accusations of child molestation that have been levied against Bible-thumping, Ten Commandments-loving, homosexual-hating Republican Senate candidate for Alabama Roy Moore. In case you have been watching Fox News where the top story is that Hillary Clinton is now selling the USA’s uranium out of the trunk of her car, here is a link to the Washington Post story that broke the news get you up to speed.
Some Democrats think that this will lead to a Senate victory in a couple weeks for Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones in the special Alabama election. To those Democrats, I would say …
The 3rd Edition Guide to Reliable News Sources has been released and I am thrilled to see that Jim Flanigan Looks at the World once again is rated highly.
Republicans surprisingly offered an official response to this Facebook meme that has been going around regarding recent USA mass shootings asking people “See a pattern?”
No, not playing squash. Eating it. I thought I was being so healthy, buying a spaghetti squash that I planned to prepare for lunch. And so I did. A little olive oil, some garlic salt, some pepper, and it baked into a tasty treat. The problem is, the squash I ate looked like this …
I saw on Twitter that someone added this creative and really well-done sign to the fence at the front of Paul Manafort’s house …
Kinda’ clever and funny, but based on the money laundering charges filed against him by Robert Mueller’s team, I would have been satisfied with this sign …

Donald Trump’s choice to be the Department of Agriculture’s chief scientist, Sam Clovis (not a scientist) has withdrawn himself from consideration for the position in light of his recent testimony to Robert Mueller’s investigative team and grand jury regarding his time as a member of the Trump campaign.
However, in an unprecedented break with Clovis, deciding to remain in consideration for the position at the Department of Agriculture are the jowls and throat wattle of Clovis. A spokesperson for Clovis’s jowls and throat wattle released a statement saying, “A meaty position like this at the USDA requires a similarly meaty candidate, and the jowls and throat wattle of Sam Clovis certainly meat <wink> that criteria.”
This would indeed be a rare occurrence if jowls and a throat wattle are considered for such a choice, meaty position, and if confirmed, it would be a job well done. Gawd, I’m hungry for a steak now.
BREAKING NEWS
We have learned exclusively that Donald Trump will not tweet any defense of his former adviser, George Papadopoulos, who has plead guilty to lying to the FBI, primarily because he can’t spell Papadopoulos.
I took a walk yesterday for exercise. It was cold, dreary, overcast and at times, snowing hard. For someone with SAD, it was a very difficult walk. I’m not talking about being sad. I’m talking about Seasonal Affective Disorder, when the lack of sunlight in fall & winter causes my body to crash and my lightbox becomes my best friend, somewhat like this …
I am puzzled. That should come as no surprise to anyone who has read my posts. I found a hidden cache of spoons behind the plastic tray that is supposed to hold our silverware neatly in the drawer … except for that messy tangle of spoons behind the tray.
As I sorted out the new-found spoons, a mystery unfolded in front of my unbelieving eyes.
I saw the news that Fats Domino just passed away at age 89. Although he was a fine musician, I’m not a huge fan and don’t have a lot emotionally invested in his passing, but I am encouraged. There’s a guy nicknamed “Fats” that made it to 89 years old. There’s hope for a long life for me! Fat guys rule!
I have a Bucket List of things I would like to do before I check out of life as I live it today and enter what I expect to be a phase of my life with an emphasis on people wiping drool from my chin. One of the items on my Bucket List was to have one of my songs performed by professional musicians. That magic happened last night …
