The Bookworm Beat 9/8/16 — the “my dog is crazy” edition and open thread

The older of my two dogs is very high-strung and she got so frightened by the wind that carried the fog in tonight that I’ve had to sequester her and me in my home office so that Mr. Bookworm, who needs to get up for work tomorrow, can sleep. She shows no

Discuss: The effect of the Brussels terrorist attack on the election, plus other predictions

Absent another black swan appearing on the horizon, if I had to guess now, I’d say that today’s terrorist attack handed Trump the Republican nomination and, possibly, the White House.

The Bookworm Beat 1/19/16 — the speed round-up and open thread

Another day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of

[VIDEO] Elbert Guillory on Obama’s mission to disarm Americans in a dangerous world

I am not exaggerating when I say that I have been in love (in a political way) with Elbert Guillory ever since I first saw him back in mid-2013, when he was still ostensibly a Democrat. That feeling has never changed and, indeed, my deep and abiding respect for his

The Bookworm Beat 12-17-15 — the “speed writing” edition

Are you familiar with speed chess? I learned about it when I was at Cal. Since I worked at the Bancroft Library, I had access to an employee break room. Every day at lunch, two men would sit there, chess board in front of them, timer at their side, and
