Bookworm Beat 4/2/22 — the “gender madness” illustrated edition

Posted on April 2, 2022 by Bookworm

If I had to pick the main topic for the week, it was the left’s gender madness, which may (thankfully) be a bridge too far for America.

Bookworm Beat 3/25/22 — the “I’m not a biologist” edition and open thread

Posted on March 25, 2022 by Bookworm

Is it possible…could it be…might it happen…. Here’s the question: Have the Democrats finally gone too far?

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 3/11/22 — 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

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…

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

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.

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

Two Bidens and a Toobin: Could Trump have scripted these last two weeks any better?

Posted on October 19, 2020October 20, 2020 by Bookworm

We are in the third act of an epic morality play, and the Bidens and their ally Toobin stand exposed as corrupt, sexually perverse people. Starting with the 2016 election, Scott Adams said that Donald Trump is the ultimate showman, and that he understands how to create a narrative. Adams

If A Biden Falls In The Woods . . .

Posted on October 18, 2020October 18, 2020 by Wolf Howling

With less than 3 weeks to the election, evidence is pouring into the public that Joe Biden was involved in corrupt and illegal practices. That news is being suppressed by social media — and, shades of Hillary — was suppressed by the FBI during President Trump’s impeachment. This has profound

@CarpeDonktum sums up the entire impeachment in a few Tweets

Posted on January 23, 2020 by Bookworm

Scott Adams says that Carpe Donktum is one of the best political satirists out there, with Twitter as his canvas. This impeachment rundown supports that. @CarpeDonktum had me laughing out loud with this short summary of the Democrats’ impeachment case against President Trump. I think you’ll enjoy it too. The

The GAO Gives Progressives Another Headline

Posted on January 17, 2020January 18, 2020 by Wolf Howling

General Counsel for the GAO issued a press release today: “Today, GAO issued a legal decision concluding that the Office of Management and Budget violated the law when it withheld approximately $214 million appropriated to DOD for security assistance to Ukraine. The President has narrow, limited authority to withhold appropriations
