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

Flop Analyzation
A confusing, profound and somewhat twisted story where the heart of the matter is lost. This story is the/a perfect metaphor for explaining the goings on of recent clown show. I'm worst-referring to the phenomenon that is The Donald. Indeed, dear worst-reader. The more and more I read about The Donald and his recent faux newz Q&A session … Continue reading Flop Analyzation
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
Your New Best Comrade Friend
https://youtu.be/OewBDIwy-O4 There really is something to being worst-writer, the grand expatriate, viewing home (that I miss so much) from these thirty-thousand feet(s). Or as others may put it: I view my home from outside its bubble. Yet. It always pains me, even after all these years, to watch--from this view--my favourite place in the world go down … Continue reading Your New Best Comrade Friend
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
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
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
TPP Stands For: It's Payback Time (Or Something Like That)
When asked if I like Barry Obama I rudely respond with a question. "Are you republican?" If they say, "No, I'm a Democrat," then I respond thus: He's ok, but I'm very disappointed. If they respond, "Yes, I'm a Republican," I respond thus: I love him. With that in mind, dear worst-reader, I'm disappointed in Barry-O because: He's from … Continue reading TPP Stands For: It's Payback Time (Or Something Like That)
Fascist State vs Fascist Society
Why is it, dear worst-reader, that no one can actually just come out and say it? I really don't get it. Is it because no one really knows what it is or have forgotten what it is, which makes saying it impossible? Or is it because it's already been done, that is, it's already been … Continue reading Fascist State vs Fascist Society
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
Voucher Me This
Why is it that Neo-liberals aka followers of Milton Friedman are obsessed with government spending? I ask the question because I recently saw a video of Friedman blathering about his concept of a voucher school system (yeah, just google it) and that was somehow compounded when I read a few moments later that the United … Continue reading Voucher Me This
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
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?
The Despair
https://youtu.be/y4DsRfmj5aQ At about 6:20 in the vid #BernieSanders starts talking about #despair. Not sure what it's supposed to mean, though. This connection I have to #despair. Could it have something to do with (being) worstwriter? Nomatter. After honourable Mr. Sanders said that... I really started to tune-in (to the vid). Reason? That's exactly what I felt … Continue reading The Despair
The TPP Miracle
No. Seriously. If you thought you were screwed before, you know, screwed by the lie of the open market, the economy or corporations wait till the near future lays its greedy paws in your starving lap. Anyone remember NAFTA? Well, if you feel as though you never could get that job or career that you were hoping for (yours … Continue reading The TPP Miracle
Capitalism vs Politics
Warning: this post is kinda NSFW on account I lose my shit at the end. Or maybe not. Oh well. ¶One of the things I tried to say in my play The Good Criminal is that business ain't as evil as it obviously appears to be. That was back in 2001 and while producing that play I … Continue reading Capitalism vs Politics
The Soap Opera
Maybe it's getting to be too much, dear worst-reader. I really thought I could breeze through this little (personal) experiment without any damage. If so many others can do it, I thought, so can I. Or? Binge-viewing TV though isn't turning out to be what I thought (it would be). But it is better than that … Continue reading The Soap Opera
Kings or Churches
Ever wonder how a king is made? I mean, how does a monarchy come to be? How does it get its power? Who makes those gold calf crowns? I know. I know. History tells us that monarchs usually are rich, have even more rich friends, including lots of wannabe rich people--and then there are the rest who … Continue reading Kings or Churches
Über Reaction Sloth
The new Clinton scandal is winding down, dear worst-reader. (Sarcasm on.) Are you as disappointed as I how this has turned out? I mean, if you're a republican and/or US government hater, then this has to be a disappointment on a grand scale. Or? (Sarcasm almost off.) Nomatter. I'm sure the ideological nut-bags that have turned #americant … Continue reading Über Reaction Sloth
Mudfish Misdirected
While so many freaked-out over the recent revelations that Hillary Rodham Clinton, former US Secretary of State and possible 2016 presidential candidate (Dem), might have bent the law regarding her private ownership of government emails, worst-writer was sitting on the banks of a muddy river contemplating what need be done. Indeed. Worst-writer tends to take a … Continue reading Mudfish Misdirected
Slap In The Face
Warning: This post is NSFW. For more on the current Hillary scandal winding down go here. ¶Recent email exchange with an Old Friend got a bit heated, dear worst-reader. Thought I'd share it with you as I tried to do with similar posts here and here. The subject at hand is the recent revelation that Hillary … Continue reading Slap In The Face
Lovin The Constitution Not
Where will the story end? A few centuries ago a bunch of privileged, elite Euro (white) men were angry about paying taxes so they got together to form an imperfect union and thereby established the right to be greedy along with a few other rights, e.g. the right to be stupid, the right to prey … Continue reading Lovin The Constitution Not
The Disingenuity
Have to go serious cynical this morn, dear worst-reader. Here it goes. While watching the below linked interview on Democracy Now, about half-way through it, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of disingenuity. Amy Goodman was interviewing a so-called whistleblower named John Kiriakou and for the first time, after years of watching her, I actually thought that Amy … Continue reading The Disingenuity
Whoa! History
And now, dear worst-reader, let's take a moment and give a listen to how the other part of the western world's pseudo-democracies are viewing z'Germans. "For the German people and their leader to work out a political strategy that has them encouraging people to think of southern Europeans as lazy and not working and somehow … Continue reading Whoa! History
Like Not Like
So. Like. I'm sitting on a bus last summer. I'm traveling from Salisbury, MD, to Wilmington, DE. In Wilmington a train takes me to NYC where I enjoy an afternoon and an overnight in one of my favourite places on the planet. To worst-writer there is nothing more tranquil than walking around NYC until I feel like … Continue reading Like Not Like
