Bookworm Beat 3/11/22 — the heading for the apocalypse illustrated edition
If this is where we are after 1 year of Biden, what will 3 years of Biden be like? I don’t even want to imagine. Let’s laugh while we still can.

What’s happening in Ukraine is not genocide
What’s happening to Ukraine’s civilian population is terrible and tragic, but it’s not genocide. You’ve probably noticed the word “genocide” being thrown around with abandon in Ukraine. President Zelensky, who is Jewish and whose grandfather lost his family to the Holocaust, used it just recently: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on

Granny Clampett was a strong woman
Maybe you have to be raised with a shotgun in your hand to feel comfortable using it…. On the Beverly Hillbillies, Granny was always ready with her shotgun: No, I haven’t gone ’round the bend. I fully understand that Irene Ryan was not Granny Clampett, that she was handling a

Bookworm Beat 3/5/22 — the “stop the world; I want to get off” illustrated edition
This is one of those days when I envy my dog: He’s warm, fed, loved, and has no idea what’s happening in the news. But I can still laugh…

Two quick, utterly random thoughts
Sometimes ideas just lodge in my brain and they come out here. The three constants about gun ranges, at least, in my experience: The people who work there are incredibly friendly and helpful. The people who shop there are incredibly friendly and helpful. The women’s restrooms are always clean. That’s

Still further thoughts on Ukraine
A lot of information ends up in my lap and it is confusing me about Ukraine, rather than clarifying things. I’m not evolving on Ukraine, I’m de-volving. The more information comes my way the more I know only two things with certainty: I’m deeply confused and I’m being manipulated. At

Biden, Ukraine, and Al Capone’s vault
If Biden looks weak regarding Ukraine (and, boy, does he), he did it to himself, plus a few other thoughts. (Note: This site is going to look funny and function badly for a day or two as I go through the plugins trying to find which is the one messing

Revised thoughts on Ukraine *UPDATED
Watching Putin’s blitzkrieg, I realize that I have to revise my whole view of things. My fundamental principles have remained unchanged: America shouldn’t be the world’s policeman and it’s absolutely horrific to think of sending America’s young men to war with Biden as the Commander-in-Chief and his woke Pentagon calling

Bookworm Beat 2/25/22 — the Ukraine illustrated edition
Ukraine reminds us that bad times mean good memes. I’d prefer good times/weak memes, but at least I’ve got some damn good memes for you.

A couple of points….
My site has been bedeviling me for weeks now, so I set up a CloudFlare defense against a Denial of Service attack. If you’re reading this, maybe it worked. First, I think the US Freedom Convoy is making a mistake. The Democrats are loving the thought of them coming to

Are my thoughts about Ukraine incoherent? You bet.
In no particular order, here are my thoughts about what’s happening in Ukraine — and I am all over the board but mostly against it. I do not believe in the Wilson Doctrine (i.e., that it’s America’s job to make the world safe for democracy). Instead, I believe in the

Bookworm Beat 2/20/22 — the Truckers, Trudeau, and Hillary illustrated edition
The news is filled with stories of brave people fighting for freedom and tyrants seeking permanent ascendency. And the memes catch them all. Usually, I post my illustrated editions on Friday so that it doesn’t look as if I’m copying Steven Hayward’s illustrated edition, which runs on Saturday. (Yes, I

Bookworm Beat 02/11/22 — the free crackpipes illustrated edition
Sure, the Biden administration backed off of free crackpipes but never forget that it wanted this plan and only stopped when challenged. (Above images from stockking and rawpixel.)

The 2022.02.07 Bookworm Video Podcast is up
I kind of threw this together, but still managed to cover gender, covering Spotify and Rogan, the N-word, crackpipes, truckers, and more. I woke up this morning determined to do a Video Podcast. And then, somehow, the day slipped away from me. Still, I remained determined and this is the

Bookworm Beat 2/4/22 — the “truckers keeping on trucking” edition and open thread UPDATED
Of course, the truckers in Canada are the biggest meme story but every other crazy thing going on in the world is grist for the meme mill. Sorry for the delay in posting this. My server was rejecting my efforts to upload things. Then, someone very smart at my web
