Road trip!

Posted on June 28, 2020 by Bookworm

I am going on a short road trip with my kids — and let me tell you, it’s incredibly flattering when young adults want their mother to join them on a road trip. I doubt I’ll have the energy to write while we’re traveling. I’m also not bringing my computer

Bookworm Beat 6/19/20 — the corporate pandering, Aunt Jemima edition

Posted on June 19, 2020 by Bookworm

Can we still laugh at the leftist war on every American institution and value, including Aunt Jemima pancake mix? Read these memes and then you tell me.

Bookworm Beat 6/18/20 — Idle thoughts of an irritated mind

Posted on June 18, 2020June 18, 2020 by Bookworm

I’m in a Festivus mood: My Airing of the Grievances has me saying “I got a lotta problems with you leftists, and now you’re going to hear about it!” Sometimes victim-blaming is appropriate: I found the following statement circulating among my leftist friends on Facebook and it irritated me more

Under the weather open thread

Posted on June 17, 2020 by Bookworm

I am not sick. I’m just feeling a little under the weather, which has left me devoid of inspiration tonight — rather ironic, really, given how much is going on. Still, I’m opting for resting my brain. I’ll be back tomorrow. In the meantime — it’s all yours. Take it away!

Bookworm Beat 6/13/20 — all the interesting things out there

Posted on June 13, 2020 by Bookworm

This Bookworm Beat is a mish-mash of all the interesting things I’ve seen today whole browsing the “interwebs.” Leftists libraries and the new Orwellian world. The Royal Holloway library, part of the University of London, has proudly announced that it will begin censoring its collection. Where Western libraries once sought

Bookworm Beat 5/25/20 — Memorial Day illustrated edition

Posted on May 25, 2020May 25, 2020 by Bookworm

This mammoth illustrated edition honors Memorial Day, then tackles the Wuhan Virus, Biden, Democrats, government, and finally ends with a few good laughs. What happens when Karen takes control. https://t.co/mqq37iMTtK — Bookwormroom (@Bookwormroom) May 25, 2020 Biden can no longer speak coherently: This is your cat on drugs…. A

Bookworm Beat 5/14/20: Pent up posting about the current scene

Posted on May 14, 2020 by Bookworm

I am exploding with pent-up posts going back two weeks, so I thought a Bookworm Beat might be the best way to do a mental download onto the blog. A good Obamagate overview. During their Russagate heyday, the leftist media had it easy because they could roll with a single

Bookworm Beat 5/14/20 — the biggest illustrated edition ever

Posted on May 14, 2020 by Bookworm

There’s never been an illustrated edition like this at the Bookworm Room — over 100 memes about Wuhan virus, Biden, Obamagate, leftists and more!

Not sick, just tired open thread

I’m out of time and low on sleep, so blogging will have to wait until tomorrow — but feel free to comment here by following the Dan Crenshaw debate rules. I am one of those fortunate people who’s almost never bored. Between books, the internet, knitting, housekeeping, blogging, dog walking,

What have I been doing? What have you been doing? Open Thread

Posted on March 20, 2020 by Bookworm

No blogging today because I’ve been busy from almost dawn to long after dusk. Here’s what I’ve been doing. What have you been doing? The most unusual thing I did today was pick up my custom-made, all-American parts AR-15 (see above). I’ll get the red dot laser tomorrow. I’ve talked

I was so on the ball today and ready to write. I had tabs opened and thoughts lined up. Everything was going to be great. And then my kids called and the planning began because of probable college closings. Three hours later…. Well, no posting tonight (or, rather, in the

Super Tuesday open thread

Posted on March 3, 2020March 3, 2020 by Bookworm

For me, today is a wait-and-see day. Tomorrow, when the results are clear, is a day for commenting. But perhaps you have something to say? As I write this, Bernie is back in the game but the results are still out for Texas and, most importantly, California. Me? I’m hoping

Haunted houses, bureaucracy, and a Dem debate open thread

Posted on February 19, 2020 by Bookworm

My time got eaten up by haunted nights and bureaucratic days. In the meantime, can I offer you a nice place to talk about tonight’s Democrat debate? Today was going to be a great blogging day. I went to bed before 1 a.m. and planned to get up early. I

So, I played golf today and it was not pretty….

Posted on February 12, 2020 by Bookworm

The good things about golf: The gorgeous green, the lovely walk, my delightful companions. The bad thing about golf: Golf. If you’re wondering why the paucity of posts, it’s because I’m at the tail-end of my big move. My last big move was in 1999. Back then, I had a

Falling apart at the seams Open Thread

Posted on February 8, 2020 by Bookworm

This is another apology post for my minimalist blogging. Today marked a week in my new home, but it is a fixer-upper and the fixing up is only now slowing down a bit. I’m slowing down a bit too. The first day, I worked 18 hours; the second, 17 hours;
