Bookworm Beat 4/2/22 — the “gender madness” illustrated edition

Posted on April 2, 2022 by Bookworm

If I had to pick the main topic for the week, it was the left’s gender madness, which may (thankfully) be a bridge too far for America.

The illustrated edition will be a day late

Posted on April 2, 2022April 2, 2022 by Bookworm

I’m still here and I have plans…just not plans for tonight. I just returned from a much-needed four-day break during which I listened to wonderful music (see the video below), saw dear friends, and enjoyed a lovely day with family. I feel refreshed but have a lot of catching up

Bookworm Beat 3/25/22 — the “I’m not a biologist” edition and open thread

Posted on March 25, 2022 by Bookworm

Is it possible…could it be…might it happen…. Here’s the question: Have the Democrats finally gone too far?

Bookworm Beat 3/22/22 — the “we’re clearly living in a computer simulation” issue

Posted on March 20, 2022March 23, 2022 by Bookworm

Actually, I don’t know whether we’re living in a computer simulation. I just know that, looking at these memes, it’s a very real possibility.

Bookworm Beat 3/15/22 — a few thoughts spinning through my mind

Posted on March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 by Bookworm

This is not an illustrated Bookworm Beat; it is, instead, a place for a few thoughts I can’t shake. See what you think of them. In no particular order, these thoughts will not leave my head so now I’m sharing them with you. Stopping concealed carry. I live in a

Bookworm Beat 3/11/22 — the heading for the apocalypse illustrated edition

Posted on March 12, 2022 by Bookworm

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.

Bookworm Beat 3/5/22 — the “stop the world; I want to get off” illustrated edition

Posted on March 5, 2022March 12, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on March 3, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Bookworm Beat 2/25/22 — the Ukraine illustrated edition

Posted on February 25, 2022February 25, 2022 by Bookworm

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.

Bookworm Beat 2/20/22 — the Truckers, Trudeau, and Hillary illustrated edition

Posted on February 20, 2022February 20, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on February 11, 2022February 11, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on February 8, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on February 5, 2022February 5, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Bookworm Beat 01/28/22 — the “so many memes” illustrated edition

Posted on January 28, 2022January 28, 2022 by Bookworm

As Trump would say, you’re going to find so many memes here that you’ll get tired of all the memes! Bidenomics, the Supreme Court, Ukraine, COVID, Vaccines, and more.

Bookworm Beat 1/21/22 — the “everything’s spinning out of control” illustrated edition

Posted on January 21, 2022January 21, 2022 by Bookworm

Two years ago, when we memed about the 15-day lockdown, did you guess that it would end with our being a bankrupt tyranny governed by a moron?
