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. But then again, that's why worstwriter.com is here. To provide a heads up. With that piece of self-promotion in mind, is Merkel getting what she deserves? Not … Continue reading Wirtschaftswunderkinder From The East Mix Well With Too Many PHDs

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. A Love Story.
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
Error 53 Or Area 51? Either Way Want More Want More
Warning: post is NSFW. §After reading article above and a few others on the same subject, I've concluded the following: Dear worst-consumer... you and your journalists don't get it. An iPhone isn't "bricked". Instead, it's controlled. It's owned. It's not yours. I mean, you don't really believe in what is printed on your dollars or your … Continue reading Error 53 Or Area 51?

Do As The Romans Do In Flint Michigan
Yesterday morning I was catching up on the situation in Flint, MI. A few hours later, while preparing dinner--as part of my dinner-making ritual--I streamed a TV series. Somehow bingeing on TV shows is my newest thing, no thanks to the convenience of digital streaming. Newest binge? I started watching the new-fangled Cosmos series, a continuation of the … Continue reading Do As The Romans Do In Flint Michigan
The Event Horizon Of Stupid
Event Horizon - noun, Astronomy, a theoretical boundary around a black hole beyond which no light or other radiation can escape; a point of no return: we're nearing the event horizon of the presidential election. Hat totting rural-ites taking over useless government buildings claiming the land which that building sits on is unlawfully owned by government. These same people also maintain … Continue reading The Event Horizon Of Stupid
Time To Make A Documentary About What's Outside The Mirror Not About What's In It
The best part of this documentary is at the end when Michael Moore says that he can't keep doing this. Of course, he then appeals to his audience directly making a request to those in the theatre to help him out--because he can't keep doing this. I assume he's referring to help with democracy and … Continue reading Time To Make A Documentary About What's Outside The Mirror Not About What's In It
Article About The Big Short Is Short
The good thing is, I read the book. The bad thing is, I'm still waiting for someone to address the unspoken reality of where the world is today regarding banking and finance and, of course, the (unending) great recession. The thing that gets me is that every time I read something about The Big Short (movie) … Continue reading Article About The Big Short Is Short
Hammer Sickle Podcast
Listening to comrade Wolff again. Luv this nutty professor. And that says a lot. Of all the teachers I've had in this (my) useless-eater life, few (if any) teachers have left an impression on me. And that's an odd thing to admit if you consider the fact that by the time I was finished with … Continue reading Hammer Sickle Podcast
Pale Shades Of Gemütlichkeit, Gleichgültigkeit And Happy Kites
Had a brief call with an old girlfriend the other day. Before I could even get around to the "how's the weather" or "how's your love-life" (up there in Berlin) there was something boiling in her voice about who/where/what she is. While she spewed out all her frustrations from being fired from her job because … Continue reading Pale Shades Of Gemütlichkeit, Gleichgültigkeit And Happy Kites
Packaging Hell And Out Of Season Berries
Don't worry, dear worst-reader. We all have too much time on our hands--especially during this time of year. The fact that I'm projecting my (too much) time on others in this manner is yet another indication that the transition from industrial age > technical servitude is almost complete. The good thing? It's just a blog. … Continue reading Packaging Hell And Out Of Season Berries
Who Has Sold You
Schadenfreude is not my thing. Nor do I wish any one ill-will. Live and let others live better--that's my motto. But there are times, moments, where I giggle and smirk at the goings and cummings of my beloved #americant and of those still trapped in all (her) confused greed-dollar-tendrils. On the other hand, of course, I … Continue reading Who Has Sold You
Lead Sinker Bon-Bon Welfare Queens
The first time I ever heard someone use the term "welfare queens" was when that dirty uncle was visiting for Thanksgiving dinner. You know the conversation that eventually rears its head at a such a family gathering. You not only got your lefts and your rights but you also got your ugly faces and morons--all stuffing … Continue reading Lead Sinker Bon-Bon Welfare Queens
Chancellor Of The Automatons Person Of The Year
Well, there you have it. Finally, after all these years--almost thirty years to be exact--a human female makes the big cover, the big issue. Time magazine has chosen its "person" of the year. Now. During such an occasion other (privileged) humans can see who/what... a human female that runs a really, really, really big corporation actually looks … Continue reading Chancellor Of The Automatons Person Of The Year
Former US Intelligence Chief Has A Funny Nose
Today is a day of oxymorons, dear worst-reader. We have US Intelligence and Too Dumb. Or it's a day of dumb rearing its true face and what we see is Kim Kardashian's left tit superimposed on the red, white and blue which is also superimposed on a xmas tree that has just exploded out of a sewer system … Continue reading Former US Intelligence Chief Has A Funny Nose
Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
It's that time of year again, dear worst-reader. Travel time. Destination: India. Egypt. Ocean City, MD. All before xmas. Which reminds me of that movie Network when the guy says "We're as mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore"? Boy was he wrong! No one is mad and everyone is gonna take … Continue reading Forget Sheople. You're Really Cattle.
The Working Poor Shall Inherit The Earth
Get a load of some of these stats, dear worst-reader. There are times when even I, the grand stat-viewer, milk some tears when I read such things. And as we know, my tears are not like those of mermaids. Indeed. There will be no cure for these ails. So let's just run down to reality … Continue reading The Working Poor Shall Inherit The Earth
Digging The Ditch Of Irony
There is, of course, a horrid irony about recent scandal of a US congressman unable to take the job of the 2nd man in line to the presidency of the united mistakes of #americant. And my liberal ass is laughing so hard at this one that I might bust a gut. With that in mind, … Continue reading Digging The Ditch Of Irony
Talking The Walk
What's that saying? Oh yeah. Walk the talk. Indeed. A tried and true American idiom. It is, in fact, a great saying because it goes so well with all the bullshit of consuming-to-survive in America these days--a country that for many is in a perpetual state of being caught up with buying your life from a … Continue reading Talking The Walk
Oh No! Window To Inner National Self Opened. Yet No One Panics.
Having lived in a fraternity once, this example of collegiate behaviour comes as no surprise. But the key thing to remember, dear worst-reader, is not what takes place but the fact that it takes place all the time, always has, will never stop. Which brings me to the following memory. I got into a heated … Continue reading Oh No! Window To Inner National Self Opened. Yet No One Panics.
A World Of Stupid
TPP is on its way to becoming law--and no one knows exactly what it's about. VW admitted to lying about exhaust emissions of its wildly popular TDI cars. Air France execs get their shirts ripped off because, well, they are in the process of ripping off their workers. Yeah, baby. Another day, another small fry … Continue reading A World Of Stupid
Combinations Prevail
There is no doubt that combinations like this will prevail. Look at the place and the history that makes them--these combinations. First, we have Matt Damon running his trap when he shouldn't--securing his white supremacy position in Hollywood and playing the fantasy meritocracy card (see lampshade link below). Then we have The Donald teaming up with … Continue reading Combinations Prevail
The What And Not The How
No. Seriously. Here's a question for ya, which is also kinda paraphrasing (the fabulous) Ronda Rousey: In an all-out, open fight, I bet Hillary Clinton would kick Edward Snowdens ass. Well, dear worst-reader, there you have it. The big Ed, the Snow(ball)den, has come out to tell us--us measly muggle-born non-techies--that what Hillary did with her private … Continue reading The What And Not The How
Deregulate That Fraud Baby!
https://youtu.be/0iPb9xhogoY?t=19m30s Once again, just like here, Michael Hudson nails it--and his book, Killing the Host, is going on my to-read list. Allow me to quote (or is this called transcribe?) the part from the interview in the above vid that really struck me. "They make their money for the same reason they've paid billions in civil … Continue reading Deregulate That Fraud Baby!
Robespierre vs Orwell
I'm not really thinking of revolution but I am thinking of the consequence of those who are able, through whatever means, to take advantage of it. These are the people who stand by with white tails and gimmi-geeks and they plaster their wits on the walls of power. The owners of power, on the other hand, laugh … Continue reading Robespierre vs Orwell
