"This is the excellent foppery of the world that when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains on necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and … Continue reading Low Life Behavior

Side Of The Trade
Curiosity has hit this Ausländer a wee bit more than usual since Jan 1. The beginning of 2015 has offered up a lot to consider. First, the Swiss unpegged their precious Franc from the Euro. Second, East Germans, most of which were educated under the auspices of Margot Honecker, presented their intellect in the form of … Continue reading Side Of The Trade
The Slime Ball Cometh
Oh my. Unbelievable. Only in #americant, baby. In my post Barrel of Fun I had a few not so flattering words to share with worst-readers everywhere about Mitt Romney. And if I may toot my own horn, I rather like the post, especially the part where I wax philosophical on what Romney's father did to … Continue reading The Slime Ball Cometh
Jesus Is Charlie
http://youtu.be/vln9D81eO60 #jesuischarlie. So is it saying "I am Charlie" or is it saying "Jesus is Charlie"--albeit mispelled? Ok. So much for worst-writer's attempt at satire--and spelling. Or even worst-writing a decent article about what recently happened in Paris. Nomatter. Today, dear worst-reader, we have a worst-first. This is, I think, the first time I've posted a … Continue reading Jesus Is Charlie
Poor vs Poor
The subtitle of this post is: When Protests Don't Matter. Yes, dear worst-reader, I'm a very negative person. Thank you for asking. Yet. With that said, allow me, behind your back, to (re)define negative. The reality is, negative these days has little to do with the opposite of positive. Besides, it is the same idear when it … Continue reading Poor vs Poor
Roller Rink of Mind
Back in the day, dear worst-reader. Back in the day. I'm referring mostly to the 80s and 90s when I still had it in me. In fact it was so in-me that I couldn't get the idears out of me. It was truly all I could do at the time for I knew that the end … Continue reading Roller Rink of Mind
Swap Your En-Tities
Worst-words of the day, dear worst-reader... Prohibition Against Federal Government Bailout of Swap Entities As stated here, Elizabeth Warren is a maverick. She is indeed doing her best to do something about something. But what is that something, dear worst-reader? Well, let's give it a shot and try to tell what that something is. In … Continue reading Swap Your En-Tities
Sell It Back
Attempts at humour from long ago... Question: Mr. Allen, do you think the Israelis should give back the land they've won from the Arabs? Woody Allen: (Short pause.) Do I think the Israelis should give back the land they won? No. I think they should sell it back. Source: click here to see it for yourself.
I'm Important I'm An Actor
The moment Affleck started interrupting Harris I thought, wow, he seems like he's got a score to settle. Or should I worst-write today, dear worst-reader, of what I think of Ben Affleck? Yeah, let's go there. Is there such a thing as a disingenuous actor? I mean, an actor that acts disingenuously. Nomatter. I think … Continue reading I'm Important I'm An Actor
Brat Bier Und Witz
"Die Behauptung kommt in die erste Zeile. Der Journalismus in der letzten Satz." Translation of above text: The statement comes in the first line. Journalism is in the last sentence. The moment the sketch (below) goes black and white I started to worry. For you see, dear worst-reader, there are things to be afraid of in this world--and … Continue reading Brat Bier Und Witz
The Few Who Would Not Play The Game
"Then these are the basic rules of a government in a free society: to provide a means whereby we can modify the rules, mediate differences among us on the meaning of the rules, and to enforce compliance with the rules on the part of those few who would otherwise not play the game." -Milton Friedman, … Continue reading The Few Who Would Not Play The Game
Security Data Ukraine
Another contribution to the Interwebnets containing an email exchange with an old friend. At times this friend brings the best out of me but other times s/he does not. Nomatter. The point is to think, express those thoughts, get them down for re-reading and then figure out what drove worst-moi to write/contribute in the first place. … Continue reading Security Data Ukraine
Moral Self License
There you have it, dear worst-reader. Moral Self Licensing. When vocabulary finally catches up to the antics then you know all is well. Until then, there has to be an explanation for how so many can just follow the herd without any self intellectual recourse. Or is that recourse waiting in the wings to show its true face? … Continue reading Moral Self License
Power Humor
"The people who must never have power are the humorless." -Christopher Hitchens, Arguably
Ice Wankers
Note: unfinished post. You know what it's like when you can't find that famous quote? The quote that fits exactly what you're trying to convey? You can't find it because it's been misplaced, lost, dissolved to where only its burnt shadow still exists. But you're sure that both the quote existed and it came from … Continue reading Ice Wankers
Politics For Stupid
Where the lost go? The road to nowhere. The small (minded) animal running in his run-wheel. And. Worst-writer is never surprised when he comes across yet another article that misses everything it should or could be about. But don't get me wrong. I'm not an opinion killer--like I was way back when I worked for … Continue reading Politics For Stupid
Strange Fruit
As American't finds no shame in its behavior, there is only the slight hope that remorse will join the ride of history to tell this story. Ferguson is yet another example of the true face of who and what we are. Fiddle with your ideas of militarized police or dabble in explanation of government behavior. There are … Continue reading Strange Fruit
The Loser
Don’t blame yourself because of the courses in college you didn’t take, the job you changed or the amount of money you don’t have. There is a social and economic problem today and you are the victim. Blaming yourself only supports the illusion that you can solve the problem. What a painful thing this is … Continue reading The Loser
The Eco Says
"The only ones who can provide an identity to a nation are its enemies." -Umberto Eco
You Have Been Serviced
First, dear worst-reader, why is jet-lag when traveling from west to east the worst? Is it because of the strange "-1" designation on my travel itinerary? PHL > FRA on Monday afternoon but you arrive in the wee-hours on Tuesday morn at destination. I think I crossed six time zones. I've been doing it for twenty-plus years. … Continue reading You Have Been Serviced
Girl Gurl Haters
Boy do they get this wrong. What's especially wrong is utilizing a picture of the communist best gurl-friend turned capitalist-lover as an example of Eurowasteland equality. Germania is a patriarch society. Period. It is a boy-club and it means nothing that its political polit-büro leader is female. Having lived in anti-feminine Germania for the better … Continue reading Girl Gurl Haters
Jacob Obians
Will our Jacobians ever be defeated as the French ones were? -Gore Vidal, Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace
Almost Fail of the Day #16
Trying but unable to find the outcome of the argument between Jefferson and Madison regarding whether or not the earth belonged also to the dead. For you see, dear worst-reader, according to one or both (founders) there is an advantage and a disadvantage to declaring the dead property owners. Gee, I wonder why. Rant on.
Highest Hoard
Comparisons. Compare on a daily basis living between countries. What a bore. What a drag. But sometimes a comparison or three is worth it. Especially when I'm visiting "home". Like. Reading the articles below, for example. Couldn't help but think about all the times I've walked around Germaninland in the middle of night only to … Continue reading Highest Hoard
Fail Not Alone
America was a country founded by failures who could not get along in the Old World and who came to a wilderness because there was simply no place else to go. A fascinating article that I wish I read when it was first published in 1976. Wow. What was I wasting my youth on in 1976? … Continue reading Fail Not Alone
