Prepare for more weirdness with the site

Posted on March 23, 2022March 24, 2022 by Bookworm

I’m still having problems getting my site to run, whether back-end stuff that makes it impossible for me to post or front-end stuff that makes it impossible for you to read anything. I’ve once again disabled all plugins, which may help. If that doesn’t work, then the problem is with

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.

What’s happening in Ukraine is not genocide

Posted on March 11, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on March 9, 2022 by Bookworm

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

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

Still further thoughts on Ukraine

Posted on March 2, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on February 27, 2022February 27, 2022 by Bookworm

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

Posted on February 26, 2022February 26, 2022 by Bookworm

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

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.

A couple of points….

Posted on February 24, 2022February 24, 2022 by Bookworm

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.

Posted on February 23, 2022February 23, 2022 by Bookworm

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

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
