And yet another worst-link of the day requiring some but minimal worst-attention. Link: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-27/bundesbanks-stunner-broke-eurozone-nations-first-bail-your-rich-citizens Ok. Dear worst-reader, worst-writer will now come forth to be honest regarding choice of links posted here. I do not actually read zerohedge.com on a regular basis. I skim it every once-a-once. The link above is the second one I'm linking … Continue reading Understanding War Econ

Millenial Essence
Article to read and worst-write about: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-20/retail-death-rattle Best worst-quote from above URL: “The country is being kept afloat on an ocean of debt and delusional belief in the power of central bankers to steer this ship through a sea of icebergs just below the surface.” There are moments, believe it or not, where even worstwriter, … Continue reading Millenial Essence
Papa Bear Tech Hug
https://youtu.be/r028SroE6Uk First post in 2014. Happy worst-new-year! Now. On to the more important worst-stuff. Don't you just wanna hug this guy! For worstWriter, Kim Dotcom, aka Kim Schmitz from Kiel, is a rare case of self-aggrandisement that is A-OK. I really luv this guy. Reason? No matter what he does, no matter what drives him, he … Continue reading Papa Bear Tech Hug
The Perfect Novel (Question Mark)
Stoner by John Williams Others (see links below) call it the perfect novel. I’m a little torn on that. I mean, is perfection applicable to anything? Tommi's worst-cyncism aside. If one were to review the few and far between books I’ve read, then it’s clear that I’ve also read too little to even begin judging … Continue reading The Perfect Novel (Question Mark)
Thing To Watch
A video that every American't should watch? Watch, that is, like TV is watched? Or watched (that is) to figure out what's wrong with the whole shebang and then, possibly, figure out what to do in the mess that is democracy and thereafter have a basis for making a decision on whether or not to participate in... … Continue reading Thing To Watch
Thanks Full Four
Two things to be thankful for this time of year as (we) American'ts celebrate the fairytale holidays known as Thanksgiving which, btw, is the doorway to the next fictional fairytale known as... consumer-to-survive frenzy winter solstice. First. The information that tells the truth about Thanksgiving and Xmas is readily available on these Interwebnets and the … Continue reading Thanks Full Four
Hungry For More
http://youtu.be/XVZgZSSJtz0 As mentioned here, I was hungry for more when I finished Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs. The book really didn't get into anything down & dirty about the man or Apple, which made it a disappointment. Obviously I'm not alone in wanting more about Steve Jobs and also more about the nit & gritty … Continue reading Hungry For More
What I Wish I Were
Endspiel by Samuel Beckett A very silly title to a very silly post. To maintain some clarification, I do not wish I were Beckett. I only admire him for being an example that not everything the same can also be good. I do not believe Beckett to be the intellectual and/or difficult writer that so … Continue reading What I Wish I Were
State Sponsored Injustice
http://youtu.be/joRl9r_cC2U Been following the case of Jeremy Hammond? Or are you just another American't following the butthole of the dollar that rules your measly life? I know. I'm being a bit harsh (for I, as an Expat, follow the butthole of the €uro which ultimately is the same stinky, smelly thing!) What gets me about … Continue reading State Sponsored Injustice
Getting Blurred
http://www.democracynow.org/embed/story/2013/11/14/tpp_exposed_wikileaks_publishes_secret_trade Interesting debate between/among workers-for-the-man. But what is such a trade agreement really? On the one hand, this particular trade agreement has to do w/copyrights and all that that old chestnut entails. On the other hand, the environment is mentioned in it as well. All worstWriter can say about that is, why now?, why in … Continue reading Getting Blurred
Other Means
Digital dark ages in Germaninland? Or as Angie likes to put it (and I'm paraphrasing): To Germans the Internet is Neuland. With that in mind, I've been considering getting a tablet for a while now. But a few things have been holding me back. For one, my experience with a third gen Kindle hasn't been all that … Continue reading Other Means
Eat The Actor
State Of Fear by Michael Crichton Warning: minor plot spoiler. Attributable to worstwriter's past, I usually think about three things when it comes to the political and economic freak show of "climate change". Now don't get me wrong. When I say freak show it doesn't mean I'm against the shebang. I actually dig Greenpeace & … Continue reading Eat The Actor
It Didn't Bloom Until Tomorrow
The Night Thoreau Spent In Jail - A Play Waldo: Henry! Henry! What are you doing in jail? Henry: Waldo! What are you doing out of jail? Re-read "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail" last night. First read was in 2004… I think. It is a two-act play that pretty-much summarises Henry David Thoreau's life. … Continue reading It Didn't Bloom Until Tomorrow
Connect Dysfunction Dots
Can it be said enough? I mean, can it be said enough before it becomes commonplace? No. Then let's do it now. Let's say it, dear worst-reader. For it is... American't. It is The United Mistakes of America. And then there's, The Land Of The Free To Be Stupid. Etc., etc. Alone the common misinterpretation … Continue reading Connect Dysfunction Dots
Krapp vs Krapp
Eleuthéria by Samuel Beckett All-time favourite word? "Krapp". worstwriterdotcom is, fittingly, full of the word 'krapp'. Oh, how I wish I could get credit for coining such a word. But all for naught. So much for worst-writer's attempt at replacing the word absurd with it. I mean, what sounds better, dear worst-reader, "everything is absurd" … Continue reading Krapp vs Krapp
Shooter And The Sweet Doctor
Probably one of the best ad libitum responses yet to American'ts lust for blood, guts, repression-glory and forgetting about seeds sewn and moving on to the next mall purchase. Trauma centre head doctor, Dr. Janis Orlowski, did a great job responding to this dire situation (see also vid and links below). Yet worst-writer can't help … Continue reading Shooter And The Sweet Doctor
Fresh Ammunition
Some thoughts motivated after reading an article about the mechanics of nature and how certain stuff about nature just don't seem right. Or does it seem right? Nomatter. Don't know what it is. Is it my face? The way I walk? The boring way I dress? There has to be a reason why, when walking … Continue reading Fresh Ammunition
Exceptional Mediocrity
Barry O is trying. You have to give him that. Vladimir Putin is trying, too. I guess. But there's something else about these two men. It's as though they're already bored with a history that will, in the most important ways, pass them by because of über-under-achievement. Thank goodness that rational human beings know that in … Continue reading Exceptional Mediocrity
Awash In Projection
As I've waddled down the creek of trying-to-say, failing to say before, one of the main reason I'm skeptical regarding the significance of Edward Snowden and his data dump--which we all have to wait to see based on advertising revenues of those who posses the data--is that I'm not sure what exactly motivated him to … Continue reading Awash In Projection
Interwebnet Orwell Wet Dream
Post is NSFW and rude and proud of it. Cool how all this "leaked" data is trickling down through the convenient pipes of the Interwebnets via well advertised news sites. But all serious kidding aside. How much is Glenn Greenwald earning from all this? What? Wrong question? Americans are more concerned not about the profits of … Continue reading Interwebnet Orwell Wet Dream
Whose Doctrine
Ok. First. I probably shouldn't post something where my worst-writing is shorter than links. But in this case… Nomatter. The scariest thing about what the west is doing right now, beyond all the murder, mayhem, lying and lust for control of you-know-what, is how long it will take to finally move on. That is, when will … Continue reading Whose Doctrine
Murky Century
A Century of War by William Engdahl Lost in conspiracy theory? As worst-writer I admit to delving in conspiracy theory in my life. I think it all started with some kid folding a dollar bill and thereby revealing a mushroom cloud which was supposed to represent America's dominance in the world because it was capable of … Continue reading Murky Century
Wunder Wunderkinder
Wunderlist by 6Wunderkinder. More than just a mediocre run-of-the-mill cloud app? Yes and no. Worst-writer recommends its use--as a shopping list to be shared between iOS devices. I reckon it's also a great enterprise utility where corporatists can coordinate data and to-do lists in the cloud. But I'll never get to see that part of … Continue reading Wunder Wunderkinder
Hammer Nail
http://youtu.be/9RC1Mepk_Sw The drums of war beating again? Or maybe they've never stopped. Or. Maybe it was never meant to be any other way than to live by the murderous sword of death for hegemony. Who knows. Wait. Maybe there are those who do know. "If every problem you have is a hammer than everything has … Continue reading Hammer Nail
Get The ?uck Out Of The Way
Everything will not be ok, dear worst-reader. But that doesn't matter. In the immediate short term, the thinkers among us can rejoice that for at least a few seconds the world might be(come) a place lacking in corporate American't dysfunction as Steve Ballmer decides to… finally get the *uck out of the way. You know, … Continue reading Get The ?uck Out Of The Way
