Comedy, Ether and Cosby
Subtitle: The Opposite of Comedy Is Sexual Repression There’s this thing about comedy that has lingered with me for a long time. I’ve often wasted a thought or three trying to figure out what it is. With some recent realizations/rationalisations, there might be worst-progress. For example. Is there something behind comedy? You know, something more than just … Continue reading Comedy, Ether and Cosby

House of (Discrepancy) Cards
What do you do, dear worst-reader, when the only choice you have is to not sneeze in a house of cards where the air is filled with feathers and pepper dust? Yeah, baby.

The Aggrandisement of Nothingness
Note: unfinished post. Still waiting, dear worst-reader. Still waiting for the moment of zen. Or am I waiting for an awakening? Nomatter. The deluge of arm-chair spying lead by some whipper snapper from god's country, better known as herenorthere, who now lives in god's former country, has no end. It's as though the floodgates of … Continue reading The Aggrandisement of Nothingness

Wait. So they made a 3-D scan of my play "Flight of the Dodo"? Na. Didn't think so. Remember. It's a worstwriter play. -Rant on. Science Graphic of the Week: 3-D Scanned Dodo | WIRED.
The Other Half
What really got me worst-thinking about feminism, that is, how to define it, dear worst-reader, was the 2008 election. I was watching a news podcast or some youtube video where women were being interviewed at the beach about the upcoming election. Indeed, dear worst-reader, asking bikini ladies about Hillary Clinton while soaking up the sun is a wondrous venue … Continue reading The Other Half
Plunderful
Take into consideration, dear worst-reader, before you read the link below, that I am from Washington DC. I went to dumb-down school just south of the nations capital and my US address (when I'm in the US) is just east of it. I also lived in Virginia for a short stint of this/my useless-eating life. Boy, do I … Continue reading Plunderful

I'm Important I'm An Actor
The moment Affleck started interrupting Harris I thought, wow, he seems like he's got a score to settle. Or should I worst-write today, dear worst-reader, of what I think of Ben Affleck? Yeah, let's go there. Is there such a thing as a disingenuous actor? I mean, an actor that acts disingenuously. Nomatter. I think … Continue reading I'm Important I'm An Actor
3rd World Corporate Statehood
You gotta luv this stuff. Example upon example of the demise of what might have been a great experiment. A country experiment, that is. Or. Wait. A nation-state experiment. Nomatter.

Interwebnet Insecurity
Oh, dear worst-reader, here yet another exchange I recently had with a dear old friend. As you know, from other exchanges (here and here), sometimes we get places--intellectual places. But other times we just ramble on. The point is, ramble, worst-writer. Yeah, that's the point. Anywho. I know you're probably wondering if any of this … Continue reading Interwebnet Insecurity
Miswant
What about those moments where it's no longer a matter of being confused about crying or laughing? I worst-mean, on the one hand this was bound to happen: a lesbian couple fulfilling a dream but only to wake up to that dream's reality. On the other, I'm laughing my ass off at a society/world where … Continue reading Miswant
Brat Bier Und Witz
"Die Behauptung kommt in die erste Zeile. Der Journalismus in der letzten Satz." Translation of above text: The statement comes in the first line. Journalism is in the last sentence. The moment the sketch (below) goes black and white I started to worry. For you see, dear worst-reader, there are things to be afraid of in this world--and … Continue reading Brat Bier Und Witz
Getting Old Is A Bitch
Started The Atlantic article but was quickly bored of it. Set it virtually aside in a to-read-later pouch on my iPad. But then was listening to a podcast while walking Groger, my half Doberman, half Pug killer puppy. The podcast reawakened my interest in The Atlantic article because, well, the podcaster was able to break through the … Continue reading Getting Old Is A Bitch
The Uni-Corn
As a believer in Unicorns, do you actually think that they exist now or that they existed at some time in the past? -Rant on.
Puzzled By Creation
"I think that I might have done well at banking had I not been so carefully trained to be either a priest nor a warrior.

Although I have a priest's deep knowledge of religion, … Continue reading Puzzled By Creation
The Bums Lost
Can't get a particular scene from the movie The Big Lebowski out of my head today. When The Dude confronts Lebowski about his carpet for the first time, at the end of the conversation, while The Dude is walking out of his office, Lebowski yells: "Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences. The bums lost." What Lebowski … Continue reading The Bums Lost
The Few Who Would Not Play The Game
"Then these are the basic rules of a government in a free society: to provide a means whereby we can modify the rules, mediate differences among us on the meaning of the rules, and to enforce compliance with the rules on the part of those few who would otherwise not play the game." -Milton Friedman, … Continue reading The Few Who Would Not Play The Game
The Art of Getting It Wrong
Nice try sassy-brit-boy. I mean. Seriously. When are people gonna wake up to all these British accents on American't TV? Are they cute accents? Does the way this guy talk sound more convincing somehow? Nomatter. The thing to worst-remember about the vid-link below is how sassy-brit-boy gets only part of it right. For example. It's not an … Continue reading The Art of Getting It Wrong
Is You Stupid
Security, security, security, privacy. Security, security, security, privacy. Selfies!

Security Data Ukraine
Another contribution to the Interwebnets containing an email exchange with an old friend. At times this friend brings the best out of me but other times s/he does not. Nomatter. The point is to think, express those thoughts, get them down for re-reading and then figure out what drove worst-moi to write/contribute in the first place. … Continue reading Security Data Ukraine
