VIDEO: Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity

Posted on November 11, 2021November 16, 2021 by Bookworm

I was not familiar with Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity, so I found this video fascinating and thought-provoking. A friend sent me this video about Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity, a theory Bonhoeffer developed after being imprisoned for speaking out about Germany’s turn to Naziism. I found it fascinating and thought-provoking:

Readers of James Taranto’s “Best of the Web Today” will recognize the title of this illustrated edition. Y’all know what it means.

Democrats: Doing the improbable

Posted on September 10, 2021 by Bookworm

Sherlock Holmes’s famous premise about things impossible or improbable applies with unnerving accuracy to the Democrats’ actions in 2021. Sherlock Holmes famously told his sidekick, Dr. Watson, that “When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” This is not strictly accurate,

The shoe is on the other foot — and we need to kick some butt with it

Posted on August 21, 2021August 21, 2021 by Bookworm

We need to rub Democrats’ noses in the fact that they are responsible for the horrors in Afghanistan, as well as the decay in the U.S. On January 7, one day after the protest at the Capitol, I got a text from my closest friend of twenty years. Before I

Afghanistan: My take on what’s happening there and at home

Posted on August 16, 2021August 16, 2021 by Bookworm

The debacle in Afghanistan makes it impossible to ignore Joe’s malevolent incompetence and reveals who’s paying attention — and who’s not. There are no words for what’s happening in Afghanistan. We are abandoning a nation to Stone Age tribal warlords who operate under the same rules that have driven Stone

Bookworm Beat 8/14/21 — the crazy land of the leftists illustrated edition

Posted on August 14, 2021August 16, 2021 by Bookworm

I started the day with the best intentions — write a post or do a video podcast. Somehow, though, I created an amazing illustrated edition.

John Hayward says what needs to be said about the Jan. 6 show trial

Posted on July 28, 2021 by Bookworm

Whether it’s the fascist show trial in the House or the political prisoners in D.C. jails, John Hayward explains what’s really going on. I write all the time but sometimes I can’t reach the things that are really important. The ideas fly around my brain in inchoate fashion but I

In America, the virtue of clarity

Posted on June 25, 2021 by Bookworm

On the one hand, this may be the worst time in America since the Great Depression; on the other hand, it’s finally clear what we’re fighting. One of the things that makes ghost stories so terrifying is that, until the ghost is fully exposed, people don’t know what they’re fighting.

Biden and Parliament’s 1689 Declaration of Rights

Posted on May 25, 2021May 27, 2021 by Bookworm

It’s surprising how closely certain aspects of modern Democrat rule parallel the British Parliament’s grievances with James II in 1689. In 1688, England had its Glorious Revolution, which was glorious because Parliament kicked out King James II without firing a shot. It then invited William III and Mary (James’s daughter)

Idle thoughts of an idle blogger

Posted on April 16, 2021 by Bookworm

I haven’t been posting on my blog but I’ve still been thinking about politics and world issues. This is a potpourri of those thoughts. Does anyone today remember Jerome K. Jerome? He was a Victorian-era author of whimsical books. I believe his best-known book was Three Men in a Boat,

The lessons we only learn through pain

Posted on April 3, 2021 by Bookworm

Corporations funded the Democrat party and now openly push its policies. It’s time to give them a lesson in economic pain to make them stop. For anyone hoping that this is some weird S&M post, you’re at the wrong place. Instead, it’s about the fact that, while praising good behavior

Bookworm Beat 3/23/21 — slouching to Gomorrah illustrated edition

Posted on March 23, 2021March 23, 2021 by Bookworm

My internet was down for a shattering, demoralizing 24 hours (yes, I am an addict), but I’m back again with a great illustrated edition.

Conservatives need a leader — and all we’ve got are politicians

Posted on March 16, 2021March 16, 2021 by Bookworm

Since November 2020, conservatives have been adrift, something that won’t change until someone moves to the head of the pack and brings them together. One of the things that makes leftists leftist is that they are pack animals. They move in unison. Even when they’re being insanely tribal, as with

Bookworm Beat 3/10/21 — the “leftist insanity is on the rise” illustrated edition

Posted on March 10, 2021March 10, 2021 by Bookworm

Every time you think we’ve reached peak leftist insanity, it gets worse. But thanks to these memes, at least we can laugh about it.
