Photographed on a street somewhere in India. I have no idear what it is. Could it be one of them seed pods from Body Snatchers? Or perhaps it's a leather case that houses the ersatz medication of an attempt to eugenically--or do I mean sexually--enhance an Ogre.
Odd Sources, Truth Be Told (Somehow) And The Death Of #SethRich
Update: see below. Granted. I don't watch faux newz. Can't stomach the stuff. For conservative "media" I follow a few conservative pundit twitter accounts, have a look at Breitbart once-a-once and CNN, and then follow liberal blogs that make a point of ripping these nutbags new a$$holes here and there. (Before you think the worst … Continue reading Odd Sources, Truth Be Told (Somehow) And The Death Of #SethRich
Fehler Fehler (Error x 2?)
Technology at its best. Or maybe not. Wondering if Aldi-Talk (my lazy answer to rebelling against big German motherfcuker telecoms) has been infected by wcry. Serves them all right. Go hackers. Go luddites (who need a iPhone to get chicks). Or... No one wants my money. Rant on. -t

The Macabre And Bad Moods
In Bangelore during our stint there last year I noticed two things. You can only find green grass where wealth lives. For some reason that green grass might be hostile to the natural order of things. Or. Maybe a cat got to this bird. Rant on. t
Who You Pay When The Customs Agent Comes With Rhino Horn Powder
Having a bad day. This is a NSFW post. No. Seriously, dear worst-reader. Just a few moments ago I almost got into a fist fight with a German customs agent. Ok, well, maybe not a fist fight. So let me set this up. Taking Beckett, the killer pug, for his afternoon waste-my-time walk, we come … Continue reading Who You Pay When The Customs Agent Comes With Rhino Horn Powder
Time To Celebrate Europe With French Vote? Not. Time For Some Lily Livered Lefties.
What has #eurowasteland done for you lately, dear worst-reader? Well, the answer is simple. Nothing. Or. Put another way. At least it hasn't given us another fcuking world war. It behooves me to say something about recent farcical election in France--that so many are comparing to the recent farcical election of my beloved #americant but because … Continue reading Time To Celebrate Europe With French Vote? Not. Time For Some Lily Livered Lefties.
Dog Walks, Side Walks And Mouse Halfs
Not quite sure. But I am sure that this photo will join the rest of my collection of worst-photos. Should've taken better care with the photo. When I took the shot it was clearly the remaining half of a rodent that got the attention of Beckett, the killer pug, while we are on his morning walk. … Continue reading Dog Walks, Side Walks And Mouse Halfs
Since You’ve Already Forgotten Everything You Never Knew…
I'm seriously trying not to pay attention to all the BS that's going on with #Trump right now. But it's hard, you know what I'm worst-saying, dear worst-reader? It's hard because my best guess tells me that #Trump is a frickin genius. Forget all the firings, the crazy tweets, the whacky press briefings by that … Continue reading Since You’ve Already Forgotten Everything You Never Knew…
So Glad Those Dating Days Are Over Or Need A New Phone Case?
I suppose this would work well as Bill O'Reilly gift, too. Rant on. -t
Neofeudalism Defined For The Little Man? I Mean The Little Mind?
"Much as warlords seized land in the Norman Conquest and levied rent on subject populations (starting with the Domesday Book, the great land census of England and Wales ordered by William the Conqueror), so today's financialized mode of warfare uses debt leverage and foreclosure to prey away land, natural resources and economic infrastructure. The commons … Continue reading Neofeudalism Defined For The Little Man? I Mean The Little Mind?

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
Some DFW Genius
"But it transcends the mechanics. I'm not a machine. I feel and believe. I have opinions. Some of them are interesting. I could, if you'd let me, talk and talk. Let's talk about anything. I believe the influence of Kierkegaard on Camus is underestimated. I believe Dennis Gabor may very well have been the Antichrist. … Continue reading Some DFW Genius
This Thing I Call French Love
I love the French. Although having grown up in a world that gives rise to to the likes of #Trump, ever since I got somewhat of a grasp of history, I've always had this thing for the French. Obviously it's never bothered me what happened in the WW2, especially when one considers what happened in WW1. … Continue reading This Thing I Call French Love
Welcome To The Pseudo Science Of Your World, Your Pocket Book, Your Mind
Freedom? Ok. Let's define it. (Long pause. Think. Continue pause.) Money? Travel? Beauty & Fashion (as per Melania Trump's RNC speech)? In my quest to misunderstand this worst-world we must all live in, I periodically read a book or three about economics. Most of these books usually carry a bit of narration with them and … Continue reading Welcome To The Pseudo Science Of Your World, Your Pocket Book, Your Mind
How Terrible Cinema Can Save The World Or Maybe Not
Finally broke down, dear worst-reader. I splurged the 4,99-€ to rent Snowden last night. Do I regret it? In German the answer is: Jein. It's a cross between ja (yes) and nein (no). I suppose the more significant question is: would I do it again--as in maybe even buy this movie so that I can … Continue reading How Terrible Cinema Can Save The World Or Maybe Not
No Wag To Tail
Beckett the killer pug was taking me for a walk the other day while I listened to a podcast or three. After a few hours of peeing on trees and licking the dew from morning grass and counting the barges that traverse the Rhein, I decided enough was enough and told the old mutt to … Continue reading No Wag To Tail
#UnitedAirlines In Your Monopolies @ 30k Feet Below Laughter Of Automaton Galore Bigly Greatness
Hilarryus, dear worst-reader. Seriously. I'm laughing my ass off right now at #United Airlines gettin' in the newz. Of course, it need not be mentioned that more than ten or so years ago, I also got booted from a United flight. The good newz is I didn't actually get booted like this guy did. No. … Continue reading #UnitedAirlines In Your Monopolies @ 30k Feet Below Laughter Of Automaton Galore Bigly Greatness
Becoming What We Defeat
The chapters of this book are titled Days Of... Theft Siege Devastation Slavery Revolt Each chapter of this book takes place in a particular city or town of my beloved #americant. Each chapter goes deeper than the previous into the negative of what makes a once great country no longer great again. And each chapter … Continue reading Becoming What We Defeat
That Woman Syndrome
One last thought before heading back to the old country where rational thought (still) prevails in the confines of political discourse. I spent a lot of time joining my mother this visit to her various church gatherings. Whether it's mass on Sunday morning or happy-hour at a local lodge, I'm there watching her, witnessing, taking in … Continue reading That Woman Syndrome
Pathology 101: #Americant Greed Galore Times Three
Fascinating but winded article. I suppose that's why writers for The New Yorker get paid the big bucks. With that in mind, the article linked to below is a doozy. Just when I thought Citizens United had created an ideological political Autobahn to hell paid for by the über-rich that would lead my beloved #ameircant … Continue reading Pathology 101: #Americant Greed Galore Times Three
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
