Pseudo Review: R&M Charger GX Touring Or How I Gave Up A Car For An E-Bike

Part 2 of this pseudo-review is here. Part three is here. Picked up my R&M Charger GX Touring the other day. For those not in the know, R&M stands for Riese & Müller. Or it could also stand for: two well endowed German engineers that couldn't get jobs in austerity ridden #eurowasteland so they decided to adhere … Continue reading Pseudo Review: R&M Charger GX Touring Or How I Gave Up A Car For An E-Bike

Vulgarity And Your Mainstream

It is beyond astonishing the effort put into negative politicking in my beloved United Mistakes. Add to that a few dick jokes from a washed up former Congressman... #americant, baby. Long but worthwhile article about how #Hillary was slaughtered--among other things: Really, really long article detailing the intricacies of political power, war and greed mongering | Alternet … Continue reading Vulgarity And Your Mainstream

Who Hates Who Most Or How To Compare Hairdos Between #Merkel, #Trump and #Putin

It was a good press conference, I'm sure Trump would say. But then again, what else can he say? I mean, come on, dear worst-reader. Have you actually listened to him talk? He talks like... a butthole from a rejected William Burroughs novel Cousin ITT from The Munsters (after he finally got a hair cut) … Continue reading Who Hates Who Most Or How To Compare Hairdos Between #Merkel, #Trump and #Putin

Stuff I Never Knew Existed Or Why Not Politics In A Redneck Pub

I know you're not supposed to talk politics while consuming beverages at your local redneck pub. This is doubly so when beveragizing during happy-hour. Yet. Being the politically accute person I am, there are times when I can't help myself and I do that which I shouldn't. (Does that contradict being acute?) Scene: extremely windy … Continue reading Stuff I Never Knew Existed Or Why Not Politics In A Redneck Pub

Twenty Bucks To Fly Across The Atlantic And Other Industry Antics Indicative Of How We Are So Thoroughly Screwed

No reason to be shocked. This flight, technically, I guess, has a "price" of "20.00 €". And why shouldn't it? Talk about a bargain. But then again, I did fly once across the Atlantic about thirty years ago--and for the life of me I can't remember the name of the airline--that costs somewhere around a … Continue reading Twenty Bucks To Fly Across The Atlantic And Other Industry Antics Indicative Of How We Are So Thoroughly Screwed

A Seminar About Beef, God-Knows-Where Nebraska, And My Personal Trail Of Tears

As mentioned in a previous worst-post, as a b'day gift I was forced to attend a cooking seminar last weekend. I say 'forced' without the intention of holding a grudge against my better-half's gift choice. It's just that I'm already a damn fine cook so my initial reaction to such a gift must be a bit … Continue reading A Seminar About Beef, God-Knows-Where Nebraska, And My Personal Trail Of Tears

What’s Under The Bus You’ve Been Thrown?

As my beloved #americant waddles in the ease and comfort of blissful ignorance and the gayety of dysfunction, I've spent most of this day continuing my research as an expatriate in finding methodologies of distraction and systems of self medication. For example, tonight I'm due with my better half to visit a place that is gonna … Continue reading What’s Under The Bus You’ve Been Thrown?

That Thing About Germaphobe Presidents And Denial Press Conferences

Well, dear worst-reader, did you think it couldn't get any worst? Surprise! You thought just because He won your hearts, your TV screens and your presidency that the batsh*t show of electoral politics was (all) over? You thought it was time to sit back, like you always do, visit the mall and consume things you … Continue reading That Thing About Germaphobe Presidents And Denial Press Conferences

Announcement: iPhone 10th Anniversary Not A Celebration But Instead Reason To Admit Defeat. Or. The iPhone Represents How The Old Economy Won.

The thing I remember most from Steve Jobs presentation of the iPhone ten years ago wasn't the device itself. No. The thing I remember most were three words that he said: "Internet Communication Device." Nothing else in that iconic corporate presentation remains with me. I don't care how the thing looks, what colours it comes … Continue reading Announcement: iPhone 10th Anniversary Not A Celebration But Instead Reason To Admit Defeat. Or. The iPhone Represents How The Old Economy Won.

Backward When Your Forward Is No More Or How Old Might Become New

Like a previous post, the digitalisation of (worst-moi's) life continues. As usual, though, at this time of year, the mystical holiday season threw me for a loop. But what could throw worst-writer for a loop, you ask. How about the physics (the E=MC2 stuff) of Santa being able to actually deliver all those presents to the world … Continue reading Backward When Your Forward Is No More Or How Old Might Become New

Why there is no Elon Musk or Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, etc., in #Germany

Link: Could Frankfurt become the new Berlin for startups | The Local The confusion continues. With the insertion of (fill # here) refugees into an already dysfunctional social-market-economy (Germany's newspeak for its politburo, pseudo-communist status) there's little room for anyone in an already bursting-at-seams country (unless, of course, you're a PHD totting white German). But let's … Continue reading Why there is no Elon Musk or Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, etc., in #Germany

Humiliation, Glorification And The Magic Of Butter On Your Conscience

You are not a victim of Bertolucci's film making. Or are you? Wait! Let me put that another way: When will the left learn? When will liberal thinking people grasp reality? The pathway to right above wrong is not traversed through political-correctness but through those who don't give a fcuk. But there is a way to get … Continue reading Humiliation, Glorification And The Magic Of Butter On Your Conscience

Problems With The World Today, How You Know It’s So And How To Save $5 And Look Cool Doing It If You’re Smart

Obviously it's hard to see. Reason? Sight. It's really that simple. Sight is not the ability to see. But see what, dear worst-writer? Well. Let me tell you, dear worst-reader. While walking Beckett the Killer Pug this afternoon, I came across something that I see all the time. In fact, I see it without sight. … Continue reading Problems With The World Today, How You Know It’s So And How To Save $5 And Look Cool Doing It If You’re Smart
