Marching with Women

~ Jim Flanigan

I would be remiss if I didn’t blog about my experiences at the Women’s March in Chicago yesterday where I, my wife, two of my daughters, some dear friends and about 300,000 other people rallied and marched. Last year was incredibly warm with a temperature at 60F degrees and drew 250,000 to Chicago. This year, it was still unseasonably warm, getting close to 50F, and 300,000 came. I love Chicago and the spirit of the people of Chicago. It is truly one of the great cities of the world. But before marching, the most important thing I had to do was to  fix my hat.

My Fave Faves – Delayed due to the Women’s March

~ Jim Flanigan

What was I thinking? I started a weekly Saturday blog about music that nobody asked for a week before the Women’s March. No “My Fave Faves” this week. All hands on deck for the Women’s March today.

Signs are made / March we must / When we are through with them / The GOP will be dust.

And speaking of signs, here they are …

Staying Inn Tonight

~ Jim Flanigan ~ 2 Comments

I’ve hit the road again, but I feel so decadent staying at the hotel I’m at tonight. No, it’s not this one …

Hotel projections shithole

But I am breeding a whole colony of bedbugs just in case I ever have the opportunity to stay there. No Trump dump for me. But there is a specific reason I feel so decadent tonight.

M A S D A

~ Jim Flanigan

No, this is not a post with bad spelling about a MAZDA automobile. I know we are all working hard to MAGA – Make America Great Again by attempting to take away each other’s healthcare and giving YUGE tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations, but I’d be happy with taking baby steps in that direction. How about this? I would be happy if something could be done to stop this from happening to my car seat every time I open the car door on a snowy day.

Fake Flanigan News

~ Jim Flanigan

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 …

58

~ Jim Flanigan

I want to give all my readers a short break from splitting their sides after reading another hilarious, but likely plagiarized blog post from me. This post is new and it’s very special.

The 2017 Jim Flanigan Looks at the World Follower of the Year (or JFLATWFOTY for short) just released this important new song about the recent Las Vegas massacre called “58.” Listen. Read. Enjoy. Contemplate. Act.

BREAKING NEWS …

Trump

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.

 

2017 Follower of the Year Award

~ Jim Flanigan ~ 4 Comments

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.

Limitation of Statues

~ Jim Flanigan ~ 2 Comments

Regardless of whether you may be Republican or Democrat, Right Wing or Left Wing, Conservative or Liberal, White or Black, can we all agree that this Confederate general’s statue needs to be removed?

Why should we all agree to remove it? Take a closer look at that face …
