Professor Dr. Richard Wolff. What a guy. What a professor. And he's all over the you-tubes. Can't remember the first video I saw of Wolff. Can't remember if I was bored of it or if it just felt like a lecture at the Uni I never had. One thing is certain. I've been struggling to … Continue reading Talk About Pee Pee

Troubles Of The Autobahn Bourgeoisie
Let us take a moment, dear worst-reader, to contemplate the dilemmas of the few & far-between. Or, as I like to put it: let's have a go at the problems of the Autobahn bourgeoisie. For it is that time of season once again. Like the periodical cicada I experienced in my youth, it's a good thing … Continue reading Troubles Of The Autobahn Bourgeoisie
Voucher Me This
Why is it that Neo-liberals aka followers of Milton Friedman are obsessed with government spending? I ask the question because I recently saw a video of Friedman blathering about his concept of a voucher school system (yeah, just google it) and that was somehow compounded when I read a few moments later that the United … Continue reading Voucher Me This
Obsexxed
The sex obsessed nation-cult? Is it me, getting old, prude? Or am I just bored of it all? At the least, I'm kinda perturbed with all the here & there of sex in what I read. I mean, I scan the news everyday. Whether it's HuffPost, Reddit or Google News, etc., I'm all over it … Continue reading Obsexxed
The Teuton's Recipe
Visit winding down. Leave tomorrow on latenight flight. First time departing my beloved former home at 20:30 hours. So. With that in mind. Let me try to summarize this visit. I'm confused more than ever about being an expat, visiting (former) home. Even though I've seen mother several times since August 2014 and death of … Continue reading The Teuton's Recipe
Channeling Your Misogyny
Oh my. Does splurging give your conscience a rotten milk feeling? Some people like rotten milk, don't you know. In fact, they like it so much they do not know they smell (like) rotten milk. I suppose the same goes for garlic. But let's not confuse things. Ever smelled rotten milk? I mean really smelled … Continue reading Channeling Your Misogyny
Gunfire On Roadway
There are moments worth standing up for, embracing, putting on a history list. Even when one is sitting comfortably in her/his Audi A4 AllRoad. Btw. Have I mentioned how über-expensive Audi is? I mean, when you consider that VW is the basis for this car and that the two are equally stalled in the world of … Continue reading Gunfire On Roadway
Asterisk Explained
Some more wannabe profundity, dear wort-reader, before I get to the asterisk reference. Or maybe not. Let's talk about farming and music today. For these are two of many more things that, in order to be understood, require a huge amount of asterisks. Or maybe not. Can farming and music be connected? Indeed they can--with an asterisk. … Continue reading Asterisk Explained
Space Ether 9th Symphony
Warning: spoiler alert (I think) regarding the film Interstellar. Good luck. Surprisingly interesting but weak film. Second thought: Long on the drama, unnecessary drama, weird drama. Obviously I'm confused about what the story of the movie is about. Or should I just say: the visuals are fantastic, the film has incorporated an odd, maybe twisted … Continue reading Space Ether 9th Symphony
Madness Is Not Born It Is Made
The subtitle or alternate title to this worst-post is: Madness vs absurdity. Where will the line be drawn, dear worst-reader? For years now I've been saying after every senseless shooting in #americant: what will be next? I suppose asking the question "who" will be next is also appropriate but because of the sheer numbers of deaths, … Continue reading Madness Is Not Born It Is Made
In God We Post
It's time to come clean. I sometimes feel obliged whenever I read an article on the Interwebnets to comment on that article. It's a human thing to do--it's one of the reasons there is the Interwebnet. And worstwriter is definitely full of comments. In fact, I started blogging and subsequently learned how to host my own blog … Continue reading In God We Post
Herr Cheap Customer
When do you know when you miss something? I assure you, dear worst-reader, you do not know you miss something when you no longer have it. Consumerism has raised me and I've learned to live with that. But there are things that become part of life even if they stem out of the triviality of consumerism. … Continue reading Herr Cheap Customer
Limit Your Exposure
There is some seriously good writing going on in TV these days. More worst-writing on that here. But like all good writing, it seems it takes me longer than most to get to it. Or maybe not. Nomatter. My better half watched six seasons of Mad Men last year. When we got the DVDs the plan … Continue reading Limit Your Exposure
Slap In The Face
Warning: This post is NSFW. For more on the current Hillary scandal winding down go here. ¶Recent email exchange with an Old Friend got a bit heated, dear worst-reader. Thought I'd share it with you as I tried to do with similar posts here and here. The subject at hand is the recent revelation that Hillary … Continue reading Slap In The Face
Spock's Eden
My all-time favourite Star Trek is from the original series, S03E20, The Way To Eden. In it, the Enterprise picks up a group of space hippies looking for a place they call Eden. While the crew deal with the dramas of space travel, this is the first show where certain realities of Federation life are questioned. Seriously. … Continue reading Spock's Eden
Old Days New Days
Go 'head. Spot me. Why? Because I'm not afraid to admit something. Here it goes. I watch Rachel Maddow. As far as political pundits and prognosticators go, I actually find her quite info-taining to watch. Looks like now, though, I'll only be able to listen to her. The powers that be--and I feel safe in … Continue reading Old Days New Days
Conversation In The Mead Hall
There is a horde of people all in the same place, all saying the same things, all wearing the same stuff, all eating equivalence, etc. Equivalence tastes good, btw. But there are also levels of good. More on that in a sec. For most this place of samethingeverything would be the ultimate collective paradise or … Continue reading Conversation In The Mead Hall
Children Of The Sandbox
The image today is of an unlimited number of children playing in an unlimited sandbox. It used to be called a sandpit but that name had to be changed because of the minds that prefer mysticism over science, the irrational over reality, propaganda over fact. For you see, the word 'pit' is to reminiscent of the pits of … Continue reading Children Of The Sandbox
Less Better
That's his name, btw. Less Better. Almost an ornery type from the 'burbs. Moved to the city because he wanted to be hip. But you know what they say? You can take the hipster out of the suburbs but you can't oil him up enough to make him go that way. Or something like that. … Continue reading Less Better
How To Firmware
Note: this is NOT an advert. Could careless which product you buy. Moving on. ¶Wouldn't you know it. Wait for the right moment and it never comes. Unexpect that moment and it does come. Recent debacle with planetary über-corporation Samsung lead to a firmware update (almost) debacle. As worst-stated in this post, Samsung's IT Volk need … Continue reading How To Firmware
Kopf In Honey
Shout-out of the evening: Dieter Hallervorden. Just watched the German tragic-comedy "Honig Im Kopf" (Honey In My Head). When I first heard about the movie I didn't give it much attention. Up until the passing of my stepfather last August, I had seen two other films about Alzheimer's, "Mein Vater" and "Away From Her" and I had … Continue reading Kopf In Honey
The Disingenuity
Have to go serious cynical this morn, dear worst-reader. Here it goes. While watching the below linked interview on Democracy Now, about half-way through it, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of disingenuity. Amy Goodman was interviewing a so-called whistleblower named John Kiriakou and for the first time, after years of watching her, I actually thought that Amy … Continue reading The Disingenuity
Forced Obsolescence
Rant about corporate goliath Apple, dear worst-reader. Yeah, I'm sitting by the fire and my better-half is sewing, my pug is snooring and the MBP on my lap is roaring. While trying to get some work done I get this strange notice from Apple while trying to access their/my iCloud data. Yeah. Talk about a … Continue reading Forced Obsolescence
WindowsXP Stuck
--Update--see below. Better half bought a new printer recently to replace the bloated HP device we bought only a short while ago. Even though worst-writer is the family system administrator, I don't print anymore so I gladly turned the task of print-media over to the head of household. Which meant that every other month there was a frustrated … Continue reading WindowsXP Stuck
Movie Bad Trip
Spoke to soon? Said this week that I'm getting too old for movies. Just finished my second one in a week. Wow. Oh well. At least I have yet another excuse for posterity as to why I'll never finish any of my deservedly unfinished novels. And so. Here's a quesiton for ya, dear worst-reader: How does one … Continue reading Movie Bad Trip
