Title #2: maybe the founding fathers weren't so special after all As the initial reports of the Broadway Musical Hamilton began to appear on my computer screen a few years back, I found my worst-self getting confused about whether to like it or hate it. Was it the shows immediate success that drove me to … Continue reading The First Soap Opera
Party Here, Faction There
Van Buren will be nominated and he will defeat Clay or any other National Republican--no, no, Whig, I must get used to calling them that. How topsy-turvy it is! Those of us who were for the Revolution were Whigs. Those for Britain were Tories. Then there was the fight over the federal Constitution. In our … Continue reading Party Here, Faction There
Deplorables Are Us
Boy oh boy was Hillary right. Sometimes I wish she'd double-down on it. You know, like President Stupid doubles-down on his krapp. Although I was shocked when Hillary said it, her Deplorables comment from 2016 has lingered with me ever since. Indeed. I hate to love Hillary (as opposed to love to hate her). I'm … Continue reading Deplorables Are Us
Does The Razor Cut Through It
It was actually Ockham who prepared our minds for this unwelcome (to him) conclusion. He devised a "principle of economy," popularly known as "Ockham's Razor," which relied for its effect on disposing of unnecessary assumptions and accepting the first sufficient explanation or cause. "Do not multiply entities beyond necessity." This principle extends itself. "Everything which … Continue reading Does The Razor Cut Through It
Not In The Know Of All-Things Worst And Other Dream-Dreams
Disclaimer: NSFW material towards the end of this worst-post. I dreamt of waking in a cold sweat. But then quickly fell asleep again only to dream of a place from twenty years ago where a large blonde woman stands behind me while I sit at a desk attempting to research the hell out of finding … Continue reading Not In The Know Of All-Things Worst And Other Dream-Dreams
E-Bikes And The Ageing Killer Pug
Like me, dear worst-reader, Beckett - the killer pug, is getting old. Fortunately I've still got all my front teeth. Most of his front teeth, on the other hand, except for the fangs, had to be removed last year. I mean, have you ever had a look inside a Pugs mouth? What a mess of … Continue reading E-Bikes And The Ageing Killer Pug
Futility Of Discourse
"He had encouraged him to talk to him, although he had always wondered at a certain incoherence, or rather restlessness in his mind, and could not understand what it was that so continually and insistently worked upon the brain of "the contemplative." They discussed philosophical questions and even how there could have been light on … Continue reading Futility Of Discourse
Dorothy Just Took A $hit On Her Rainbow
Two newz links below, dear worst-reader, that only worst-writer can make relatable. And trust me. I got this. First. Can you believe a corporation owns a potato? No. Seriously. The vegetable. A corporation owns it. What I worst-mean by owns it is, they literally own the legal rights to everything that makes up that potato. Thank … Continue reading Dorothy Just Took A $hit On Her Rainbow
And What About The Moral Equivalence Of Stupid v Stupid?
On Joe Biden finally entering the race. Indeed. What about the moral equivalence of stupid v poor? Or stupid v rich? Or poor v poor v rich? And let's not forget, what about the moral equivalence of deplorables? Etc. I mean, seriously, dear worst-reader, does it (politics) matter at this point when it comes to … Continue reading And What About The Moral Equivalence Of Stupid v Stupid?
She’s A Man, Baby
Pseudo-review: Mrya Breckenridge, the novel--not the movie! I saw the movie thirty-five (or so) years ago1. Somehow the movie stayed with me--and not only because of Raquel Welch who is, other than Rita Hayworth, the only Hollywood bombshell worth gawking at like a fifteen year old man-boy run amok with girly magazines. At the … Continue reading She’s A Man, Baby
They Will Burn It Down
That church in Paris, dear worst-reader. What happened to it? How many years did it take to build it? And now it's been almost destroyed in the wink of drunk rich man's eye. I mean, was it really fire that destroyed Notre Dame? Or could Notre Dame's fate be part of something else? Obviously we … Continue reading They Will Burn It Down
Being Told What To Do, Doing What You’re Told
The #Americant way, dear worst-reader. How to know it's true? Just go there. I mean, go there after being not there. And while there don't just hang out in NYC or DC or SF or LA enjoying the view(s). Check out the burbs of those places. If you can stomach it, and you should, make … Continue reading Being Told What To Do, Doing What You’re Told
How To Get THE Message To Fly
In a whirlwind, dear worst-reader, It all started with the music video This is America. Have to admit, it did take a few viewings of the vid for me to get it. Well, get it as far as worst-writer can get it. You know, this is about politics as much as it's about money making musical genius. … Continue reading How To Get THE Message To Fly
What Is Fascism?
So. Like. I'm sitting in the corner at the mall, a parking lot, a small table in a rainbow coloured sprinkles restaurant and Grasshopper walks up to me and asks: Dude, what is a fascism? (Yes, the question is posed just like that.) Well, Grasshopper, I respond, it's like this. Do you remember olden times … Continue reading What Is Fascism?
Oh Yeah, Daniel Boone…
What Daniel Boone, like George Washington, was up to was intruding upon sovereign Native land so as to covertly survey it and sell it to white settlers, who would then form themselves into militias to murder the families who had been living there for generations. Some were successful and grew rich and powerful, such as … Continue reading Oh Yeah, Daniel Boone…
Pseudo-Review: DietPi And RockPro64
Subtitle: Avoiding monolithic-monopoly personal computing on the cheap? Follow-up is here. Note on text: if you want to skip all my worst-writing, just scroll down to the The Pseudo Review. As noted here, I'm not a NAS fan. The problem with not being a NAS fan is that one may still require some form … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: DietPi And RockPro64
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (heart
Woke up with a speck of Stones clinging in my heart this morning. Did I think it was a heart attack? No. But my heart hums every now and then--in the wrong musical direction. Also. The stirring had something to do with the wrong angle (of attack) from that last glass of wine last night. … Continue reading Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo (heart
Soccer Coach Dreams, Industry And Manufacturing Not Dead, A WW2 Story
Quick ride to clear my head the other day, dear worst-reader. Didn't work, though. In fact, I was so perturbed by the trek I'm sure it caused me a strange dream the night after. In short, the dream was thus: along with another male adult, I'm on a grassy knoll coaching four boys who are … Continue reading Soccer Coach Dreams, Industry And Manufacturing Not Dead, A WW2 Story
Ranting, Re-Retaliate, Rednecks, Rude Remorse And The Difference Between News and Newz
What are your fav four-Rs, dear worst-reader? What? Don't have any? Well go there, then. It's not hard, you know. All you have to do is spend some time in the arena of news. Of course, I spend most of my time in the left-wing news arena. But that's obvious, ain't it? Reason? Right-wing newz … Continue reading Ranting, Re-Retaliate, Rednecks, Rude Remorse And The Difference Between News and Newz
Pseudo-Review #8 – 7000km Charger GX And New Drive Train Hell
Here's a tag-link to my other e-bike posts. Note on the pics: I was able to directly compare original Bosch sprocket (black) with a different brand (dark grey). I don't know why it surprises me that the minimal differences in the two has such a drastic outcome on performance (or lack thereof). It basically boils … Continue reading Pseudo-Review #8 – 7000km Charger GX And New Drive Train Hell
Deciphering Graffiti Of Life
Not sure where it begins, dear worst-reader. Is it their schooling? Peer pressure? Reading too much Winnetou and Old Shatterhand? For don't you know, dear worst-reader, Karl May, the writer/creator of old west stories of my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant, never once set foot on what he wrote so much about. And … Continue reading Deciphering Graffiti Of Life
Delaware = On-Shore Caribbean Banking Wet-Dream Thanks To…
Two things this morn, dear worst-reader. Ready for a bit worst-writer politics? Good. Buckle up. First. I've pretty much always found Joe Biden despicable. He's even worse than The Clintons, don't you know. He's also a lot more slimy looking. If anything (or anyone) at this point in the history of my beloved & missed … Continue reading Delaware = On-Shore Caribbean Banking Wet-Dream Thanks To…
Why We Need TV Brits To Brexit #Americant
On a role with Brexit krapp this morning, dear worst-reader. Bare with me. You know, dear worst-reader, if you ain't worst-writer, it's probably best you don't talk about things you don't understand. Take for example John Olivers recent attempt at taking down #Americant's WWE compulsion by... get this... wait for it ... wrastlers are exploited employees … Continue reading Why We Need TV Brits To Brexit #Americant
Wine Tasting Plus Brexit Conclusions
It was supposed to be about the wine last Sunday. But we sat across a couple from Engaland. That is, she was German and he was Cockey. Other than that, nice folks, don't you know. But then, after an agreement on Grauburgunder there was a sudden disagreement on Monarchies. A disagreement on Monarchies, of course, … Continue reading Wine Tasting Plus Brexit Conclusions
Pseudo-Review- Birkenstock And The Happy Foot
Note on the pics. The Birkenstock shoe (left foot) is still in what I consider to be its break-in period. They're only about ten days old. Note the suede sole footbed insert. The sandal (right foot) is broke-in and is probably four months old. The only issue I'm facing with the sandals is that I've run out … Continue reading Pseudo-Review- Birkenstock And The Happy Foot
