As I promised earlier, I’ve got many, many more posters to share with you. Off we go:

The Bookworm Beat 7/2/16 — the illustrated “Hillary and the Leftists” edition
I have so many great posters today that I have to break them into several posts. This one is going to be made up of posters I’ve classified as either “Hillary,” “Stupid Liberals,” or “Democrats.” I think you’ll enjoy them all:

The Bookworm Beat 6/30/16 — Passing observations on the political scene *UPDATED*
This is not the usual Bookworm Beat, because I don’t have a lot of links. Instead, I wanted to offer a few observations that have been floating around in my brain for a while. The Founders would have approved of Brexit. The transnational elite is horrified that, in England, the

The Bookworm Beat 6/27/16 — the “post-Brexit world” edition and open thread
I have lots — and I do mean lots — of interesting links for you today. Before I start, though, I want to address a point I read from someone worried about what Brexit and Trump mean. In an age of anti-intellectualism, he said, bigotry is inevitable. Believe it or

The Bookworm Beat 6/24/16 — the illustrated edition and open thread
I would say that the Brexit vote left me EUphoric, but that would be wrong. From now on, I’m just phoric. And for added phoria, some great political cartoons and a few just plain silly things:

The Bookworm Beat 6/21/16 — the “end of spring” edition and open thread
I spent the day helping my “going to college” Little Bookworm select her classes. Let me just say that the college does not offer any American History classes, but it does offer gay history, Latino history, and black feminist history. The online catalog was a miracle of polemics, incoherence, political

The Bookworm Beat 6/20/16 — the “Muslim threat” edition and open thread
It’s been a busy day, but in a good way. The plumber came when I needed him, the electrician will come, and I ran into a friend I hadn’t seen in at least five years and was reminded again how much I like her. The business continues, but I’m snatching

Bad times make for good cartoons and posters — and I’ve got the proof:

The Bookworm Beat 6/10/16 — the “escape from the family” edition
I wasn’t an empty nester to begin with, but now I am a super full nester — hence my difficulties blogging this week. Here it is, 9:30 on a Friday night, and I finally have a minute to sit down and write: A unified theory of Obama. David Hazony has written

The Bookworm Beat 6/2/16 — the quick round-up edition and open thread
I’m doing actual legal work today, but I want to clear my spindle before it gets completely out of control. Here goes, a quick, down-and-dirty round-up: President Trump? Scott Adams has pretty much nailed everything that’s happened so far in this election, at least when it comes to Trump’s tactics

The Bookworm Beat 5/31/16 — the illustrated edition and open thread
It’s only been a few days since my last illustrated edition but I’ve already got such a large collection you may have to put aside a few quiet minutes to appreciate fully the wisdom and humor you’ll find here. On second thought, make that more than a few minutes. These

The Bookworm Beat 5/29/16 — the “pre-Memorial Day” round-up, part 1
I haven’t forgotten that tomorrow is Memorial Day but today is still just another Sunday — laundry, bills, and blogging. The first two are done, so it’s blogging time. America’s real class divide. I had a very interesting lunch the other day with Thomas Lifson (founder of American Thinker) and

The Bookworm Beat 5/24/16 — the “world keeps turning” edition and open thread
I’ve switched migraine medicines and have been a little limp and dazed, but the migraines are passing and my energy is returning — so what better thing to do than write a round-up? No, more Muslims will not save us from the ones we already have. Daniel Greenfield takes up

What is the meaning of life?
I know, I know. It’s a bait and switch. You come for politics and, instead, I hit you with a philosophical question. But it’s a question that’s been vexing me for some time, and I think I’ve come up with an answer. Here goes: What is the meaning of life?

I’ve been working on a couple of big projects, which has kept me from blogging. Thank goodness for pictures! (And many thanks to Caped Crusader and to Erich for the help.)
