Hartford, Conn. | April 22, 2025 – After a month of failed efforts to persuade Connecticut’s Public Health Committee to take action on the State’s proposed bill to end involuntary electroshock and move it to public testimony, distinguished clown Jim Flannery turned his efforts today to a more publicly-supported issue: ending robocalls in America. Robocalls are the cause of any and all mental health issues I’ve ever had. If we can end robocalls, my fears…
Hartford, Conn. | April 14, 2025 – After a barely legal procrastination, Connecticut’s State Attorney General’s Office made an appearance last week in the case of Flannery v. State of Connecticut. Their entrance was lacking in any cultural significance whatsoever, amounting to nothing more than a metaphorical “hello”. In keeping with Connecticut convention, Attorney General William Tong deferred any responsibility for addressing Connecticut’s violent mental health laws by anointing Assistant Attorney General Matthew Konowe as…
Hartford, Conn. | April 14, 2025 – Following a curious visit from a mail-delivering clown to Connecticut’s Legislative Office Building on Friday afternoon, Senator Saud Anwar and Representative Cristin McCarthy Vahey, co-chairs of Connecticut’s Public Health Committee, issued a shockless statement on behalf of the Committee this morning: What Mr. Flannery fails to understand is that our committee is in opposition to his goal of ending involuntary electroshock. Had he paid any attention to our…
Hartford, Conn. | March 24, 2025 – University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) biomedical technician Jim Flannery filed a civil lawsuit against the state of Connecticut this afternoon. The lawsuit alleges workplace conditions at UCHC are untenable due to discriminatory state laws involving psychiatric incarceration, forced drugging, and involuntary electroshock treatment of their employees. Flannery was unavailable to comment but left this reporter a note conveniently carved into a single shoot of asparagus, “[HHD-CV-255087946-S].” In…
Glastonbury, Conn. | March 17, 2025 – In defiance of Home Box Office, Inc., Jim Flannery released his long-awaited HBO special, “YTF,” on his own website this morning. When asked for a quote about why he didn’t go to Netflix instead, Flannery had this to say, “Why don’t you ask Netflix and HBO for a quote about where the fuck all their comedians’ comedy specials go after they’ve kicked them to the curb. I can’t…
HARTFORD, Conn. | March 15, 2025 – Today marks Hartford’s annual celebration of Saint Patrick, famously known for his voice-hearing abilities that aided him in his escape from imprisonment in Ireland. While some scriptures purport that Patrick, born “Succit”, received instructions during a dream about how to make it back home to Britain, one would have had to have the longest fucking dream this reporter has ever heard of in order to learn how to…
HARTFORD, Conn. | February 22, 2023 – “What’s up” to all my telepathic niggas out there. This here be this reporter dropping some bomb shit on ya’ll from Jim Flannery’s website. Since his sorry ass is extinct as fuck and the only thing he has left to do is drop dead of a heart attack at the St. Patrick’s Day parade, I’m pleased to announce the release of our dear friend Raggedy Rob’s show “Beige”…
New York, Ny | February 7, 2025 – Amidst a growing mystery surrounding the recent whereabouts of comedian Jim Flannery following his failed bid for President of these United States in the November 2024 election, the gracefully aging artist reappeared just long enough to file a copyright infringement lawsuit pertaining to a joke Flannery alleges was or was not misappropriated by fellow comedian Gary Gulman. The lawsuit, filed in federal court this morning, states the…
