https://youtu.be/8_L7U0R0oSM So many have asked me over the years regarding my expatriation questions like: So you must like it there, huh?Is Germany really better than...?Why Europe?And... Don't you miss the greatest country...? For this worst-post, my answers to those questions are irrelevant. But if you must know, answers abound (that's a "expat" tag link). The … Continue reading 1619 vs 1776 Or The Great Stupid Redo

Blind Or Blindfolded
RIP #RBG. So. Like. What's the difference between being blind and being blindfolded? One means you can't see and the other means you don't want to see, or someone else doesn't want you to see. With that in worst-mind, I've never been a fan of Lady Justice. Don't get me wrong. She's a gotta body … Continue reading Blind Or Blindfolded
The Edumacated
This is a screenshot of a headline. In the game musical chairs players prance around chairs while music is playing. When the music stops prancers have to sit. The prancers who have not found a chair to sit in are removed from the game along with one chair. I suppose, in that vein, the game … Continue reading The Edumacated
Celebrating Winning
As VE Day was being celebrated in Western enclaves here and there yesterday, worst-writer was thinking of George Carlin: "When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won … Continue reading Celebrating Winning
Work Will Set You Free, To Be Stupid
In my play The Good Criminal, a worst-play, don't you know, a play that, of course (1), was rejected by publishers, theatres, and, of course (2), audiences, there is a moment where a modern (Reaganomics) corporatists slash yuppie schmuck is talking about setting oneself free by working hard (for The Corporation), or something like that. … Continue reading Work Will Set You Free, To Be Stupid
Allusion Delusion Collusion
Come on, dear worst-reader. Are you laughing with me? Or did you miss the recent rally by #MAGA hat wearing bat$hitters in my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant? Perhaps it is an easy thing to miss, don't you know. I mean, who's really interested in watching a bunch of gun-toting white-people ranting and … Continue reading Allusion Delusion Collusion
How The Old Win Failing Upward
Well, dear worst-reader, it's finally happened. Bernie Sanders has not only exited the 2016 presidential race (Yes!, the 2016 race) but he's joined all the others--including Hillary--who probably never should have been in the race in the first place. So let's go down the list shall we? Here's what shouldn't be running for the highest … Continue reading How The Old Win Failing Upward
Sue To The Dungheap
As the herd culls or is culled... How does one get to the essence of what's wrong with everything, dear worst-reader? You know, why everything is soooooo worst? Does one dig to the base, the fundament, the origin? Are there even enough shovels, tools to do that? Does one deconstruct and thereby reconstruct--in order to … Continue reading Sue To The Dungheap
#OkBoomers Be Gone. Please.
As I point out here or there in this worst-blog, I'm not a fan of my own generation. Especially the #Americant portion of that generation1. But. Dear worst-reader. Not only can we NOT choose our parents, we are also stuck with the generation in which we are born. With that worst-said, I'm as tail-end as … Continue reading #OkBoomers Be Gone. Please.
The Glory Of Squander
Been saying it for years, dear worst-reader. The squander of it all. As in: American Squander. This inner saying, though, has taken on variation, I have to admit that. Now it goes something like this: LAND OF FREE TO BE STUPID. I mean, come on. Am I wrong reaching the conclusion that in order for … Continue reading The Glory Of Squander
Real Reason Peoples Should Be Afeared Of This Guy
Pete Buttigieg should drive anyone away at the moment it's revealed that he worked for the likes of McKinsey & Co. Forget about the fact that he's just some man-child that gained a few thousand votes to become mayor in the hellhole that is some midwest country bumpkin town. Now don't get me wrong, dear … Continue reading Real Reason Peoples Should Be Afeared Of This Guy
Ununderstanding Or Unlearn
Was walking my dog the other day and came across this pic twice. Once it was stuck to a tree on a plate and the other it was on this/a German post box. When I went back to take a picture of the one on the tree a day or two later, thinking it would … Continue reading Ununderstanding Or Unlearn
Anti-Intellectualism Wins Again
The big gripe, dear worst-reader. I mean. Come on. As bad as the obviousness of President Stupid and his ways can be, is it just as bad to use an analogy of a name--even President Stupid's son's name--and a monarchial title in order to make a constitutional legal argument? You know. #Americant is supposed to … Continue reading Anti-Intellectualism Wins Again
AI = Apathy & Ignorance
https://youtu.be/ymaWq5yZIYM What got us to where we be, dear worst-reader? Now that's a worst-question (grammar correct or not), eh. Let's have a look, shall we. Something everyone should see/hear? Perhaps. But can/could any of the (insert number here1) millions of the #Americant republican base, the minority rulers, don't you know, actually comprehend this? You know, … Continue reading AI = Apathy & Ignorance
The Freedom To Be Stupid
As I've always worst-said, dear worst-reader, capitalism shouldn't be the political system. Yet my beloved & missed #Americant has enabled exactly that. But how has your beloved & missed #Americant made capitalism its political system, dear worst-writer? Well, thank you for the question, dear worst-reader. And the answer is simple: KEEP 'EM STUPID! Then again, … Continue reading The Freedom To Be Stupid
What Is Then Is Now
https://youtu.be/oFeoS41xe7w Took me a while to finally get to this video, dear worst-reader. I'd heard about this debate after reading a bit about Buckley, who I was intellectually lead to by Christopher Hitchens a few and a few more years ago. I vividly recall watching Buckley on black&white television in my youth and asking my … Continue reading What Is Then Is Now
A Series Of Tubes, Stupid People, Who Sells You?
https://youtu.be/i5t7_ikkE7g We have to go there, dear worst-reader. We have to once again go to that place where my beloved & missed #Americant is called out for not just being the greatest #MAGA country the universe has ever seen but also for being, well, functionally STUPID. (Sarcasm on/off.) But where do the two, greatest and … Continue reading A Series Of Tubes, Stupid People, Who Sells You?
The Essence Of #Americant
https://youtu.be/P82WR6At95c Get a load of this vid, dear worst-reader. Get a load of what this vid is about! Obviously examples of what makes America #Americant are not few and far between. I mean, how else can THE LAND OF FREE TO BE STUPID up its game with the likes of #Trump & co? No, seriously. … Continue reading The Essence Of #Americant
We Are In Hell
As stated here and there throughout worstwriter.com, I've been living the expat life since 1989 in a kind of daze. One of the main reason for that is, well, #Americant political conservatism manifest in the ideology of greed, can be confusing to those who are born to think free--and not the free one is told … Continue reading We Are In Hell
Things Funny
This is a very minor worst-post, dear worst-reader. Minor in that I don't know much anymore what to worst-write about. I reckon, after all these years of quitting, giving-up, losing, it's all starting to finally catch me. You know, I'm finally starting to ask (my worst-self), what's the point? Anywho. The other day I was … Continue reading Things Funny
Eating Babies
What's worse than a country full of guns? How 'bout a country full of guns plus STUPID? For there you have it, dear worst-reader. That's exactly what I got 'round to thinking about as I tried to get through yet another newz day regarding my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant. Or did you … Continue reading Eating Babies
Thunberg Thunder
Can't apologise enough, dear worst-reader. You know, apologise for being who/what I am. Born of a grand idear but set to die by the/my (own) hand of über-stupid in the collective body of a generation. Indeed. So it is to be a baby-boomer from a once great nation-state that has so willingly and wantonly turned … Continue reading Thunberg Thunder
When Lightbulbs In Your Head Turn On But You Can’t Know It
https://youtu.be/go_ELOsVPWg?t=490 Pretty good answer, dear worst-reader. Madame Warren kinda nails it. In the video above (time-stamp link), a talking-point question is asked that could be applied to almost any issue regarding the fairytale that is #Americant politics. You know, abortion, gun control, taxation, the rich eating the poor, etc. This time, though, the question is … Continue reading When Lightbulbs In Your Head Turn On But You Can’t Know It
Useful Idiots vs Useless Idiots
Big fan of Matt Taibbi. Enjoy reading him every once-a-once at Rolling Stone. Also. Kinda tickled that he's entered the podcast arena (see link below). Well, I was tickled until he interviewed Jimmy Dore the other day. Don't get me wrong, dear worst-reader. I kinda like Jimmy Dore. I mean, some parts of his podcasts … Continue reading Useful Idiots vs Useless Idiots
Can More 19th Century #Americant Die, Please
Even though I wouldn't have put it quite the way he did, I'm diggin' Bill Maher's good-riddence to David Koch the other night (see vid link below). When is the other Koch brother gonna pass, is the only question that remains--at least for worst-moi. Then again, there are a lot more Koch-types in the wings, … Continue reading Can More 19th Century #Americant Die, Please
