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. As far as the examples go... Here just a few more examples of American't in its 3rd world statehood: ISIS or ISIL, Ebola in Dallas, … Continue reading 3rd World Corporate Statehood
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 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
Examples Of Ignorance
It's 2014--if you've forgotten. Or maybe you avoid the clock all the same. Nomatter, dear worst-reader. For today we have yet another example of American't ignorance and how that ignorance rules/governs everything. Or maybe not. First. The situation. Or should I call it: Reality? Either way, in 2014 a huge chunk of America still has … Continue reading Examples Of Ignorance
Fly Change Not
At last count I've been flying across the Atlantic at least once a year, mostly between FRA and the mid-Atlantic coast USA, for the better part of twenty-five years. If I worst-say that's a quarter century, does that make it sound more significant? But these trips go even further back to when I was a … Continue reading Fly Change Not
Green Hell Cool
One of the coolest things about riding around the Green Hell aka Nürburgring is when you come across German car makers testing their newest mass, über-priced creations. Sometimes they disguise the vehicles so well you can't tell what brand they are. I bet BMW and the lot have departments in their corporate dungeons with people … Continue reading Green Hell Cool
Politics For Stupid
Where the lost go? The road to nowhere. The small (minded) animal running in his run-wheel. And. Worst-writer is never surprised when he comes across yet another article that misses everything it should or could be about. But don't get me wrong. I'm not an opinion killer--like I was way back when I worked for … Continue reading Politics For Stupid
Throw Like A…
Things beautiful. Like. Crabs from my beloved (and missed) Chesapeake, walking along marshlands on the eastern shore of MD, catching a sunrise as it awakes my mid-Atlantic. But there is something else beautiful. Even though I don't really follow sports much anymore, while in the US recently and drinking my sorrows away at whatever pub … Continue reading Throw Like A…
Strange Fruit
As American't finds no shame in its behavior, there is only the slight hope that remorse will join the ride of history to tell this story. Ferguson is yet another example of the true face of who and what we are. Fiddle with your ideas of militarized police or dabble in explanation of government behavior. There are … Continue reading Strange Fruit
Remove Spanish And Be Surprised
Check out the second map in the article. Does this surprise anyone? I had no idear that German was spoken at all in the US. Ok. I guess it makes sense German would be spoken where there are so many militias and gun nuts. Oh well. If the language fits... Rant on. Language map: What’s … Continue reading Remove Spanish And Be Surprised
Disingenuous Defined
While reading this article I couldn't help but think about the people who came up with publishing something like this and then I tried to worst-imagine the people who read it (excluding moi, of course). I mean, this paper is the only "national" paper in the country. It's available at newsstands everywhere, in every hotel … Continue reading Disingenuous Defined
If I Were A Rich Man
Normally I praise the place I live because it is a pretty good example of a country governed by law & order. For the most part that holds true because Germans are still rather obsessed with Ordnung, although this is waning. More importantly, Germans are obsessed with maintaining the machine that provides them so much sustenance: the German nation-state-corporation … Continue reading If I Were A Rich Man
Scavenger Econ
Oh, dear worst-reader, we are living in scavenger times. These are times where all that is left are scraps. You know, the scraps left over by the other half. You know, the haves and the have-mores. Oh, how they laugh and giggle as we jostle around, tinker to nowhere, continue on our beloved pathway of … Continue reading Scavenger Econ
When There's Nothing To Fall Back On
Why is it worst-writer loves reading about demise? Being worst doesn't necessarily mean I'm one of them negative types. Or does it have anything to do with the fact that I was an Aussteiger* before it was fashionable? Now that I see all this demise taking place in real-time, I get a kind of a … Continue reading When There's Nothing To Fall Back On
Results of Entitlement Culture
A customer service rep is hired to retain customers (see link below). She or he is a retainer. Sounds kinda funny, eh? There is a job title like 'corporate retainer'. Yet when I think about it I also think about Harvey Keitel as a Cleaner. I guess I'm in to opposites this morn. Been a … Continue reading Results of Entitlement Culture
Girl Gurl Haters
Boy do they get this wrong. What's especially wrong is utilizing a picture of the communist best gurl-friend turned capitalist-lover as an example of Eurowasteland equality. Germania is a patriarch society. Period. It is a boy-club and it means nothing that its political polit-büro leader is female. Having lived in anti-feminine Germania for the better … Continue reading Girl Gurl Haters
Happy Failure
Schadenfreude? Maybe. Read link to article below and the links it links to. I know that wishing ills to others has its payback. But I guess I'm willing to accept that consequence. At least in this case. What better example is there of the greater-than-though meritless workforce of my grand united mistakes than those who … Continue reading Happy Failure
Prediction #789
Today's prediction, dear worst-reader, has to do with the extinct Germania snow leopard, spies and Germany finally stepping up to face the worldly role it has so gallantly been avoiding for the past twenty years. The Germania snow leopard was an animal that for a brief time in its history stalked the grounds between Kölnia … Continue reading Prediction #789
Highest Hoard
Comparisons. Compare on a daily basis living between countries. What a bore. What a drag. But sometimes a comparison or three is worth it. Especially when I'm visiting "home". Like. Reading the articles below, for example. Couldn't help but think about all the times I've walked around Germaninland in the middle of night only to … Continue reading Highest Hoard
Solar vs Fracking
Found my (worst)self at a community meeting yesterday where a solar project was being presented to members. Living in Germany gave me a bit of an advantage, since that country is somewhat ahead in utilizing the sun for power--even though the friggin sun rarely shines there. What astonished me about this meeting was how the audience, mostly retired … Continue reading Solar vs Fracking
Down With The Old
No. Seriously. Who is criticizing Amazon? Could the critics be those who are in favor of the old economy artificially and coercively maintaining the status-quo in the publishing world? Ok. Let's face the music here. I for one am tickled to now be a regular buyer of e-books. It's been three years since I've bought … Continue reading Down With The Old
