The Bookworm Beat 9-8-15 — the “busy world” edition and open thread

My apologies for my blog silence yesterday. I hope to make up for it now with a substantial round-up, some of which I compiled, and some of which comes from a friend who insists on remaining anonymous: Your daily “Hillary is toast” report As you know, Hillary did a national interview —

Bookworm Beat 8-11-15 — the illustrated edition, devoted to excavating the Leftist mind through Facebook posters

One of my Facebook friends is an uber-Leftist, although he does staunchly support Israel.  He never puts up personal posts.  Instead, his Facebook feed is filled with posters, some inspirational, some funny, some pro-Israel, and most pro-Left and anti-Republican. I thought that for this illustrated edition, instead of the usual

The Bookworm Beat 3-5-15 — “I’m still standing” edition and open thread

An amazing Holocaust story plus thoughts about the Big Bang and the human soul

Hitler loved Islam.*  If you didn’t know that he loved Islam, you might think that Hitler, with his race-based obsessions, would have been hostile to a religion primarily centered on a Semitic people.  To Hitler, though, Islam was a manly religion that shared his goals:  the eradication of the Jews coupled with world domination.
