The question: What should 7 billion useless eating bottom feeder lemmings do if they are not achievers--but think they are (achievers)? Ah. The tried & true response to a grand issue stemming out of the sophomoric mindset of a pseudo (master)debater and an unbeknownst polymath (wannabe). The answer from she/he: It doesn’t really matter.

Who Forgot The K In Barry-O's Name?
Time to go there, shall we dear worst-reader? Today, as we deal with all things worst, let's worst-talk about food named after people. Reason?

Passage To India: First Night In New Home, Dreams Don't Come True, Or Did They Already?
Spent last night alone in our new über-Flat. My better-half is in Mumbai and she stuck me with the luggage and dog to take to our new home.

Prince v Metallica, Deposing The Middleman, Boxsets In Heaven
First A. This post is NSFW. First B. The window of opportunity has closed. We are screwed because moneyed interests are the new Gods of art, creativity and life. Or. I would really like to see a change in the music industrial complex now that Prince is gone. Second. I am a child of two … Continue reading Prince v Metallica, Deposing The Middleman, Boxsets In Heaven

Yacht Fantasy, Retractable Keels And Why #Americant Is The Dream
Woke up hot and bothered this morn. While walking the dog a local informed me that he's never experienced temperatures like these in Bangelore at this time of year. As I worst-write this weather.com is saying it's ninety-nine degrees fahrenheit outside. It actually feels cooler now than a few hours ago because there was no … Continue reading Yacht Fantasy, Retractable Keels And Why #Americant Is The Dream
Passage To India: Auto Rickshaw Trash Trucks, Wet Dust, Pigeon Soul Removed
Walking the dog is the worst. There's no place to walk the dog. Well, there's no place to walk him if you want to be free from street dogs. I'm not one to fear a dog or two that I don't know. I can read their tales, their ears, their eyes. But when suddenly out … Continue reading Passage To India: Auto Rickshaw Trash Trucks, Wet Dust, Pigeon Soul Removed
How/Why Your Vote Doesn't Matter: Money Is (Above) The Law.
Read some legislation this morn. I guess I woke up feeling patriotic. But that soon waned. Indeed. Get a load of this krapp. A couple of Senators--you know, those guys in government that are the dirty hands and unwashed feet of the corporate and military industrial complex--have drafted yet another useless bill that is supposed to … Continue reading How/Why Your Vote Doesn't Matter: Money Is (Above) The Law.

Wanting to avoid the Panama Paper's bullshit ain't gonna be easy. So maybe I should just get it out of my system. First.

Passage To India: Tea, Panama, Missing Rain And Tech
Never thought I'd say this. But I miss the rain. Don't get me wrong. I don't miss it much. But I haven't seen cloudy skies since leaving good 'ol Germania just over a month ago. Wait. Scratch that. Just writing about rain reminds me of how much I hate Germania weather. The sky there is … Continue reading Passage To India: Tea, Panama, Missing Rain And Tech
The Thing Missing In A World Of Red
Update: I guess I stand corrected. Since posting things have changed in the map. But I reckon I'll just leave the original map--for posterity. Link that motivated this update: Americans implicated in Panama Papers | The Guardian I'm perturbed as usual, dear worst-reader.

At Odds With Our Government
For posterity's sake below is worst-writer's transcription of Tim Cook's tell-all, ask-all and all-around cute little keynote speech before he starts hocking gadgets to the world and thereby protecting the bottom line, March 2016.

Designed In Ain't Made In #Americant
Upon his death (or joining Elvis) Steve Jobs left behind one of the most successful companies the world has ever known. Almost five years later Apple Inc. is still a behemoth of cash and profits.

Worstwriter Anthem Or Creed?
The most incurably frustrated--and, therefore, the most vehement--among the permanent misfits are those with an unfulfilled craving for creative work. Both those who try to write, paint, compose, etcetera, and fail decisively, and those who after tasting the elation of creativeness feel a drying up of the creative flow within and know that never again … Continue reading Worstwriter Anthem Or Creed?
Wirtschaftswunderkinder From The East Mix Well With Too Many PHDs
Having lived there for 20+yrs nothing shocks me anymore about the grand and delusional state of Germania when the buckles holding up its crescent moon start to shake.

Not … Continue reading Wirtschaftswunderkinder From The East Mix Well With Too Many PHDs

Do Your Job Sounds The Same As Get A Job
https://youtu.be/ePsNcoMNNXc Who knew that rational thought existed in the united mistake's Senate? Why aren't there more Senators like this one? Oh yeah, #americant prefers batsh*t. Now, if only I could get through a #trump2016 speech. Wait. Let me swallow some mustard water first. There. Now I can watch a Trump speech. Rant on. -Tommi
News ECB German Real Estate Bubble
Reason I googled it? Overheard my better-half's morning news show while she was preparing for her day. She props her iPad on a shelf under the mirror in the hotel bathroom. She streams the news from Germany. Even though we've been away from Das Vaterland for just over a week, the saying holds tried & true: you … Continue reading News ECB German Real Estate Bubble
Phallic Symbolism Of Colour Bias And Other Taunts

Batsh*t Blue Collar WWE And Failupwards College Grads. A Love Story.
As the GOP deservedly cracks and crumbles this holiday election season, I'm wondering if liberals or those still capable of thought should take a stand on all this hitlerism and fascism krapp that's being thrown around like a volleyball at a sorority party where new recruits are required to prance around for frat boys with big … Continue reading Batsh*t Blue Collar WWE And Failupwards College Grads.

The World Should Be Thanking The(ir) Heavens For #thedonald–Or Maybe Not
First. Can The Donald really win a general election? If you think he's worth comparing to whether or not Berry Obama could win when he announced back 2007, think again. There is no comparison. And even if The Donald were to win, would it be so bad? Now don't get me wrong. I don't want … Continue reading The World Should Be Thanking The(ir) Heavens For #thedonald–Or Maybe Not
