Bookworm Beat 12/1/23: An illustrated edition with a foreign twist
There’s a lot of meme-able news from overseas, which you’ll find after all the memes about America’s domestic madness.

Bookworm Beat 6/1/23: An over-the-top illustration edition
I stopped with 125 memes but, to be honest, I could have gone to 200 or more because the world we once knew is imploding.

Bookworm Beat 12/14/22 — the world run amok illustrated edition
The only theme that runs through this giant collection of memes is that the world as we know it has gone crazy.

Can we — or do we even want to — stop the GOP suicide mission?
The GOP poohbahs’ belief that they can save the party by bowing before the ascendant left shows how disconnected they are from voters. One thing that’s become clear in the past week is that the Republican party in Washington, D.C., is completely disconnected from the ordinary Americans that, of necessity,

The Roy Moore drama escalates but I’m not convinced *UPDATED*
As the Roy Moore drama escalates, because I distrust those doing the escalating, the new information actually makes me more disposed to believe the judge. I’m watching with fascination the kill and then overkill with Roy Moore. The GOPers (especially McConnell, McCain, and Romney) are even more hysterical than the

George Will’s clarifying stance
I am very grateful to George Will for clarifying something for me. As you’ve no doubt heard, after a lifetime as a Republican, he’s leaving the GOP because it appears that the GOP will yield to the voter’s will and accept Donald Trump as the Republican party candidate for president in

The Bookworm Beat 5/18/16 — the “Supremes” edition and open thread
This is a good, long post. Mix a martini or make yourself some hot chocolate, find a quiet place, settle back, and read away! Trump woos conservatives. The big news today is Donald Trump’s list of proposed Supreme Court nominees, all of whom of are, in John Yoo’s words “outstanding

Another day, another incredible collection of articles I think you’ll like, all of which I’ve tried to present in a way that’s both interesting and brief. Yet another government lie. Is everything we think we know about the cost of living data false? And worse, is the actual cost of
Continue readingVote for Ted Cruz — because he’s the one your political opponents fear most *UPDATED*
Sometimes, the best way to figure out what politician will best serve your values and interests is to look at what those antithetical to your interests are trying to force upon you. In this election, the Leftist media and the decidedly non-conservative GOP are steering conservative voters either to Donald Trump or Marco
Continue readingIs the House GOP leadership being blackmailed into voting for amnesty?
People are asking why, with a potentially successful midterm election coming, the GOP has decided to go forward with amnesty, even though (a) only 3% of Americans care about the issue and (b) the base is strongly opposed to the GOP’s plan. On its face, this seems like an insane

I’d reached critical mass in the inbox. It was either spend the day working through it or go nuclear which, in my case, doesn’t mean blowing up Israel, but does mean simply deleting everything in my inbox, knowing that there’s no way I will ever read what’s in there. I

I’m not sure it will matter in the polls in November, but the GOP is showing a certain charm and humor this February. You can send GOP Valentine e-cards to your loved ones (or just good friends) this Valentine’s Day. I’m trying to decide between the Pelosi/Reid card (“We crafted

Domino’s Pizza has just come had with one of the most brilliant ads I’ve ever seen — and, even better, the ad seems to riff off of an even more brilliant corporate decision. In essence, Domino’s realized its pizza stank, determined to change that fact, and then let the public

Republicans are finally figuring out how to push back: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGEfRBzB0s&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] I like Ed Morrissey’s comment about the video: Today, Barack Obama once again dishonestly claimed that Porkulus opponents wanted to “do nothing” in the face of the economic collapse, but that’s simply not true — which Obama might have learned
