The Bookworm Beat 10/21/17 — the “how to stop a bully” illustrated edition
In this day and age of political bullying, I start with a great video about stopping bullying — and then get to illustrations, both wise and silly.

Mining “What Happened” for Hillary’s unintentionally humorous moments
There’s a lot of unintentional humor in What Happened, as Hillary Clinton cluelessly reveals that she is a foolish, deceitful, entitled, nasty woman. I’m still slogging my way through Hillary’s turgid tome, What Happened. The more one reads it, the more one realizes how accurate the joke in the post

The Bookworm Beat 10/25/16 — the CLINTON BULLIES edition and open thread
Scott Adams says don’t let Clinton’s unconscionable bullies win. Scott Adams, who’s called this election season with amazing accuracy, has written what may be his most important post to date. In it, he calls out the bullies that populate the Clinton camp. Unsurprisingly, Adams has lots of stories about bullying
Continue readingLeftists: Damaged individuals who have formed a priesthood to take revenge on society at large
Near the end of his talk about American communists’ long-term plan (now coming to fruition) to flood America with a permanent Democrat majority through Hispanic amnesty, Trevor Loudon tossed in an interesting throwaway. When someone asked him why Leftists would want to reduce the US to the status of a Latin American banana Republic,
Continue readingSchools and parents who teach children to become chum for bullies
One of my pet peeves is bullying. I’m not talking about bullying amongst students, although I certainly don’t like that. I’m talking about the bullying from school districts and Progressive parents who work overtime to ensure that children are brainwashed into fearing self-defense so much that they would rather be

(Another one that first saw the light of day on Mr. Conservative, but that’s definitely one I would have written for Bookworm Room too.) There is no bully worse than a Leftist on an anti-bullying crusade. We’ve seen this play out over and over again in the area of guns,
Continue readingIs the rise of bullying at schools tied to Progressive education policies?
There are a couple of things about modern life that are hard to understand. The first is why so many more children have potentially fatal peanut allergies than did in my youth. I have no idea why this is so, and probably never will. The second thing that’s been mysterious
Continue readingAnti-bullying is simply another way of saying “paralyzing political correctness.”
Dan Savage made a name for himself as the face of the “anti-bullying” campaign sweeping America’s schools. He’s gotten lots of money, lots of media face-time, and lots of access within the Obama administration because of his “peaceable” message. Savage’s own behavior, though, makes clear that his anti-bullying message is

I love fairy tales. I’ve always loved fairy tales. Growing up, I devoured fairy tale books, with special emphasis on the Disney movies, with their beautiful princesses. My personal favorite was Disney’s Cinderella. I saw it once when I was a child and then, in a pre-video era, all I

Let’s put aside the laughable fact that the MSM has had to go back to 1965, when Romney was a teenager, to find something bad about him (or, more specifically, something bad about him and a putatively gay person). This ridiculous attack has naturally generated attacks against Obama and Biden,

From Season 1 of The Simpsons (waaaay back in 1990), comes “Bart the General“: After defending Lisa from school bully Nelson Muntz, Bart becomes Nelson’s latest target. Sick of the harassment and torment, Bart, Grampa Simpson, and Herman (a slightly deranged military antique store dealer with a missing arm) rally
Continue readingThe schizophrenia of modern public (i.e., Progressive) schools
We spend a lot of time talking here about the way our Progressive culture infantilizes young people. Just think about the way the whole liberal world had a collective head explosion when Newt suggested that young people get jobs to learn the value of discipline and achieve the satisfaction of
