Note on the pic above: this is a screenshot from my iPad4 of the initial post of an article that appeared on salon.com. Clicking on the pic will enlarge it. The author of the article mistakes Dustin Hoffman as the actor in the movie Taxi Driver. An honest mistake--I guess. The post has since been corrected, … Continue reading All In A Days Workplace

American Economy = Debt Deflation
https://youtu.be/mzp7NiI0SUU It is astonishing to hear/read stuff like this. Man, does this guy (vid) nail it. In fact, Hudson just about sums up the whole shebang in a few words within a fifteen minute video. Most important part of the interview, in worst-writer's opinion, is in the quote below. Reading about Monday's "stock crash" because … Continue reading American Economy = Debt Deflation
Not Moonstruck
Rose: Why do men chase women? Johnny Cammareri: Well. The Bible story. God took a rib from Adam and made Eve. Now maybe men chase women to get the rib back. When God took the rib, he left a big hole there. (He points to his ribs.) A place where there used to be something. … Continue reading Not Moonstruck
More Aussteiger Please
Word of the day: Aussteiger Give it a try. Yet heed this. It's important to note that an Aussteiger is someone who drops out. S/he is not a dropout. It was the first thing I noticed when I started working--for The Man. Large cubicle workspaces that were strategically placed so that you could see offices … Continue reading More Aussteiger Please
Questions Shouldn't Be Asked
Some call me the worst explainer ever. Go figure. But the reality is, I explain things. I especially explain things to Eurowastelanders. I guess it just bleeds out of me. You know, the fact that I'm not from--the place where I live and drink (too much). So far this inadequacy has served me well. In … Continue reading Questions Shouldn't Be Asked
That Southern Strategy Beast
There's no beating it, dear worst-reader. As Ferguson explodes (again) I can't help but think about Richard Nixon. Why? Nixon is, without doubt, one of the greatest politicians in #americant history. The reason for that is simple. Few presidents have left so much in their wake as Nixon. Obviously there are a few before him, … Continue reading That Southern Strategy Beast
Send In The Clowns
Que song Send in the Clowns. Lights up on stage. Now have a laugh (and a cry). There you go, dear worst-reader. The scene and mood has been set. Clowns (funny) and sadness (republicans). Except for one thing. There is one thing I didn't laugh at while scanning the Interwebnets for a view of the … Continue reading Send In The Clowns
Road To Nowhere
German car consortium is buying Nokia's Mapping technology for three billion dollars. Wow. Amazing. Unbelievable. Now. Is it me? Am I missing something here, dear worst-reader? Why the F are Germans wasting their money on this krapp? Oh well. Even though they make stuff real well, it doesn't mean that they can innovate. Or is … Continue reading Road To Nowhere
The Great Smoke Screen Of June
As the great conspiracy theorist worst-writer-ghandi said, and I'm pseudo-paraphrasing, "first they snark at you, then they flip you the bird, then they make lots of bad bathroom stall jokes about you and then... you lose". Or something like that. What a month June 2015 has been, eh worst-reader! I mean, what a month it's been for … Continue reading The Great Smoke Screen Of June
Flags And Creepiness
Some things just give me the creeps, dear worst-reader. Like, for example, thoughts of whether or not I should still be riding. I gave up motorcycling about ten years ago. Mostly because of finances but also because of, well, it was time. I'm proud to say that when I stopped riding bikes, my last bike wasn't a puss … Continue reading Flags And Creepiness
Channeling Their Sex: Bernie Sanders and Eurowasteland's Greece
https://youtu.be/YF4XJ9gs6Bo Can I join these two, dear worst-reader? Varoufakis and Bernie Sanders? One minute I’m watching the Greek finance minister (vid) slime up his (and his country's) parts, prepping it for penetration, and the next minute I’m reading about a “socialist” politician running for POTUS that might actually get a few votes if it weren’t for what he … Continue reading Channeling Their Sex: Bernie Sanders and Eurowasteland's Greece
Enough For Every American: A Bottle Of Pills
Guess what I heard this morn on the Noagendashow (#730) while walking The Pug? That's right. I heard more than an hour among three hours of two men, one being the gurlfriend, rant, rave and gesticulate about something akin to not having an "agenda". Which is what these guys do two days a week. Whatever that's supposed … Continue reading Enough For Every American: A Bottle Of Pills
Cruel And Unusual Legal Banality
8th Amendment: Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Notice, dear worst-reader, that there are three parts to the 8th amendment of the US Constitution. Is it any coincidence that two-thirds of the amendment is about money and one-third, potentially, about life? If you’re surprised at that … Continue reading Cruel And Unusual Legal Banality
The Language of Everything
Let's go there, shall we, worst-reader. There is a language that is spoken. There are gestures that are made. There are actions that are taken. And there are ways to wipe the ass so that it feels like it's being kissed. But all kidding aside. Knowing what's wrong with EVERYTHING isn't as hard as some … Continue reading The Language of Everything
Contradiction In Bigness And Failure
There is a theory floating in the ether, dear worst-reader. Yes, it is a worst-writer theory and it's about how/why the DotCom boom was systematically undermined in order to save the new world order. Actually, "new world order" is a misnomer. It should be called old world order. And from here on out that's what … Continue reading Contradiction In Bigness And Failure
The Willing
As an Aussteiger and high-flyer I have the privilege of being both a witness and a passenger. Don't blame me, dear worst-reader, for having found the formula for comfort and pseudo-luxury--which, btw, I found before I turned fifty. Also, don't ask me how it's done. Just keep this in mind, the luxury of being worst-writer found me … Continue reading The Willing
Fail Upwards Galore
Why does it feel like telecom carriers are consolidating out of fear? What are they afraid of? Why can’t T-Mobile or Verizon make a logical consolidation? Don't get me wrong. I think consolidation at this level should be prohibited. Let's not get into that, though. I actually like T-Mobile. When I travel home I always use … Continue reading Fail Upwards Galore
Iron Irony
They are finally removing those locks from that Paris bridge. You know, the locks that are supposed to represent girls being princesses swept off their feet by dunce princes with the square chins and riding white horses. Yes. So much is the mindset of a (western) world raised on the whims of money makers and … Continue reading Iron Irony
Getting Rich
"We will lay aside the responsibilities and sacrifices of citizenship, and religiously ascribing all virtues and all growth and progress to a republican form of government, will allow our own to go to the dogs, devoting ourselves meanwhile to the business of getting rich." -from an editorial, The Nation, May 15,1873
The Doctor Is Not In
According to a few outspoken voices, it's been a slow month in Curacao. Can't say I'm disappointed. The fewer the merry-er, worst-writer always says. And as others say: good things come to an end. After ten days of too much sun and lots of scuba and no crowds, the hammer hits. We had two dives … Continue reading The Doctor Is Not In
Three Highlights And A Note
There was a time when I was angry with Amazon/Kindle for disallowing the random copying/pasting of highlights from its ebooks. I also don't use the connection to Twitter or FB which is/was the alternative Amazon offered its customers when/as they/we expressed what they/we were willing to pay for. At the time, I think I had … Continue reading Three Highlights And A Note
Consequences
Reading transcripts this morning, dear worst-reader. About what, you ask. Well. About infrastructure investments of a once great structure. At first I didn't give much of a hoot about recent train derailment. Planes fall out of skies. Rockets can't reach their instellar destinations and plummet back to earth, burning up in the atmosphere. Buildings in … Continue reading Consequences
Obsexxed
The sex obsessed nation-cult? Is it me, getting old, prude? Or am I just bored of it all? At the least, I'm kinda perturbed with all the here & there of sex in what I read. I mean, I scan the news everyday. Whether it's HuffPost, Reddit or Google News, etc., I'm all over it … Continue reading Obsexxed
What's The Motivation?
Maybe I'm just too exposed to this stuff? Maybe there's been too much of it? Maybe the lies of the mind that make up #americant are so endless that it really doesn't matter if you can figure this stuff out or not. Or. Maybe someone should ask this: why this now? A simple question, really. … Continue reading What's The Motivation?
Purchase Your Repurchase Purchase
Boy do I feel bad for all those wannabee corporate suckers who believed what was said after HuffPost was purchased by AOL and the Greek-Mother cashed out. Any idear what they said, dear worst-reader? Let me give you a hint. They said: "you're jobs are gonna be fine." And now? (Short pause; breath.) Even though I'm … Continue reading Purchase Your Repurchase Purchase
