The Hollywood sex scandals reveal a widening pool of damage
A post in which I opine about Hollywood sex scandals, pedophilia, dirty old men, and the many choices people make that enable truly bad behaviors. Looking at the bloodletting that’s spreading from Hollywood, to the mainstream media, to Leftist hi-tech corporations (e.g., Amazon) led someone, and I can’t remember who

A rotating cast of stock-players in the Weinstein scandal — guest post by Lulu
Guest blogger Lulu has noticed that the women speaking up about the Weinstein scandal fall into a few distinct categories, none of which seem very brave. Like everyone else, I have been watching the Harvey Weinstein story unfold with some fascination. Of course, the “why now?” aspect remains unanswered, and

Toxic masculinity, Progressive hypocrites and victims, and real men *UPDATED”
The past two months have proven that toxic masculinity is the Progressives’ purview, while real American men still get the job done no matter the risk. In the late 1960s, the appropriate term of art for men who hadn’t seen the light was “male chauvinist pig.” Feminists applied this moniker to

Harvey Weinstein is not “a sex addict, he’s a predator.”
Harvey Weinstein’s disgusting, abusive behavior sheds light on the fact that, from Clinton to Cosby to Weinstein, it’s never about sex, it’s about power. The Progressive media is talking about Harvey Weinstein in terms of sex, seemingly acknowledging Weinstein’s own definition of himself as a “sex addict.” As Emma Thompson

Jews excel at antisemitism, as they do at so many things
A recent attack against Harvey Weinstein in a Jewish publication reminds us that, when it comes to antisemitism, America’s Jews are overachievers. Almost three years ago, I wrote a post entitled Some of America’s ugliest antisemitism comes from young Hollywood Jews (language warning). I wrote after I had watched a

Oscar Predictions – 2016 movies By The Closet Conservative Critic (Brief recap of who the Closet Conservative Critic is….C.C.C. is a 50-something “person of interest” who occasional writes on the Bookworm Blog, under the guise of the “Closet Conservative Critic”, reviewing Hollywood movies, and giving opinions with the perspective of

Bookworm Beat 12/13/16/ — the Culture Wars edition
The Progressives’ resistance to Trump’s indubitable Electoral College victory is highlighting the culture wars that have riven America. They have spent the last eight years building an alternative American model: Slavery is still the dominant cultural marker; America’s law enforcement officers are on a binge spree of mass slaughtering blacks;

Jill Soloway — Exhibit A for the premise that if Leftists didn’t have double standards, they’d have none at all
I never watch the Emmys, and I say that with a great deal of pride. As last night’s anti-Trump exhibition showed, television is no longer about either entertaining or informing the American people; it is, instead, about “progaganda.” That’s not a typo. It’s a great neologism my friend Wolf Howling

The Bookworm Beat 5/2/16 — the “Hell in a hand basket” edition, round 2, and open thread
I’m back, and still playing beat the clock when I blog, so let me get right down to business: Just one thing about Target’s preexisting open bathroom policy. You may not have known about Target’s long-standing open-access bathroom policy (all gender identities welcome wherever they want), but it appears that

It’s been some time since my last round-up so, without further ado: A primer for those who need to be reminded why Hillary should be incarcerated, not inaugurated. Deroy Murdock has a knack for political parables. Using the example of the “Foggy Bottom Department Store,” he makes it clear just how

I have sitting in front of me a piece of a very juicy story that’s happening in real-time — and I can’t do anything about it right now! Two things stop me: The first is that, as I said, I currently only have a piece, and I need more information

I have been separated from my computer from 7:30 this morning until now — 11:00 at night. The only thing I’ve managed to get done today is a poster riffing off of a little joke I made in a post yesterday:

Boyhood, which opened in July 2014 and is currently slated as one of the top contenders for Best Picture, has earned that rarest of rare accolades: a 100% score on Metacritic. Critics just love the movie. The most obvious thing they love about the movie is the movie’s gimmick, which

I’ve been working out on a stationary bike lately, because of ongoing sports injuries. I find this dull. I also find that I can alleviate the boredom by listening to books on my iPod. I’m working my way through some of the books that are available for free from my
