It's hard being an expat. It's even harder being an expat stuck in a golden cage. Indeed, dear worst-reader. That's what I call my not-so-loved Germania where I've been living and mentally struggling for the better part of twenty-plus years. When people ask me, though, why Germany, I usually avoid the obviousness of my birth. … Continue reading A Told, Untold And Retold Story Or Why I’m Obsessed With Calling Out Those Who Gave US President PeePeeHair

The Good Book In One Hand, Burning #Americant Flag In The Other
No. Seriously. It was the re-election of Dubya Dip$hit Bush back in '04 that probably sealed the deal that I would never repatriate to my beloved & missed #Americant. I really didn't think things could get any worst, though, after Dip$hit Dubya. And so. Dear worst-reader. Welcome to my... getting worst-world galore. I can't forget … Continue reading The Good Book In One Hand, Burning #Americant Flag In The Other
How To Fight Your Culture Of Stupidity Galore Without Losing Your Shirt Or Your Head
First and foremost, get rid of the elite. Not unlike that which lead to the French Revolution--there should be heads rolling through mishandled municipal gutters about now. In fact, there should be something like a pile of heads museum somewhere from the past thirty or so years. But I guess that's wishful thinking considering the … Continue reading How To Fight Your Culture Of Stupidity Galore Without Losing Your Shirt Or Your Head
May Screen-Agers Live Long And Prosper And Walk On The Corpse Of Old Scape-Goaters
Email from an old friend: Hi Tom, Search: "SCREEN-AGERS Today’s Adolescent: Why Kindness is Missing" on ... and watch the 1 hour 40 min video. Its a good summary that explains much of what is going on now in many aspects of US culture (and I emphasize US cause it's the outlier nation in almost every … Continue reading May Screen-Agers Live Long And Prosper And Walk On The Corpse Of Old Scape-Goaters
Worst-Writer Newz Break: From Russia With Luv Or Porn In The Voting Booth
The thing to keep in mind, dear worst-reader, if you are at all confused about the whole #Trump colluding with Russia thing, is this: nomatter what happened during the campaign and nomatter what the Russians did, the #Americant people, in collusion with a manipulated Constitution and its Electoral College, were the only ones who voted … Continue reading Worst-Writer Newz Break: From Russia With Luv Or Porn In The Voting Booth
Saddest Sights Of Woful Day
"These were the saddest sights of that woful day; and no man clasped the hands of these two passing figures of the present-past; but, hating, they went to their long home, and, hating, their children’s children live today." -WEB Dubois -Rant on -T
Ward Of A Nation
"Thus did the United States government definitely assume charge of the emancipated Negro as the ward of the nation. It was a tremendous undertaking. Here at a stroke of the pen was erected a government of millions of men,—and not ordinary men either, but black men emasculated by a peculiarly complete system of slavery, centuries … Continue reading Ward Of A Nation
“The Media” Or A Mirror To Hide Behind
Sometimes a podcast can motivate. For example. Last night while listening to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour and the show Google is God, the last few minutes contained an interview with a guy named Michael G. Merhige. He was promoting his new book: Thoughtful Pauses - A Political Philosophy. According to Nader, Merhige is … Continue reading “The Media” Or A Mirror To Hide Behind
How You Know You’re A Conservative, Especially If You Think You’re Not
There is a reason in my beloved & missed #Americant there are so many shows on brain-dead TV that make fun of conservatives. You know, The Daily Show, Samantha Bee, pretty much everything on Comedy Central and, of course, Stephen Colbert. The most obvious thing to keep in mind, though, is that conservatives, especially … Continue reading How You Know You’re A Conservative, Especially If You Think You’re Not
The Collusion Illusion Mudpie And Other Ingredients Of The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Cake
Subtitle: Thoughts on recent email exchange with an old friend. I do not think Trump’s collusion with Russia was about his wanting to be president. It was, though, about the next level of dirty-pool conservatives are willing to play and/or tolerate in order to maintain the(ir) greed $hit show. The greed $hit show, by-the-buy, is … Continue reading The Collusion Illusion Mudpie And Other Ingredients Of The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Cake
Does History Repeat Slowly, Panickly Or Trumply? Predicting Your Great Depression v2.0
What is it that makes #Americant? I mean, what is the thing or things that enable and facilitate the race to the bottom empire that is my beloved and missed United Mistakes? Probably at the top of the list is war mongering. And not just any war mongering. The fact that perpetual war is being … Continue reading Does History Repeat Slowly, Panickly Or Trumply?

Stuck In The K-Car Platform Of Life, Liberty And The Freedom To Be Stupid
“May all members be mindful that the institutions and structures of our great nation guarantee the opportunities that have allowed some to achieve great success, while others continue to struggle,” he prayed. “May their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws, but benefits balanced and shared by … Continue reading Stuck In The K-Car Platform Of Life, Liberty And The Freedom To Be Stupid
Skewed To The Best Of Your Ability
“I think it’s probably more of a privilege. Do you consider food a right? Do you consider clothing a right? Do you consider shelter a right? What we have as rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We have the right to freedom. Past that point, everything else is a limited resource that … Continue reading Skewed To The Best Of Your Ability
Is You Afeared Yet?
Was up around 3am and walking around my little apartment angry and spiteful at the snow that had fallen during the night. This has been a hell winter, dear worst-reader. And speakng of hell. As indicated in the pic above, there is a certain irony to living in hell. Especially when that hell stems from … Continue reading Is You Afeared Yet?
Pseudo Book Review Of “Fire And Fury” Or If Only There Was More Space Between The Lines
Books with scary pictures of authors on inner or back covers should be avoided at all costs. I suppose that goes for worst-writers, too. At least that's what I used to tell myself--about real writers that actually get paid to write stuff. With that in mind, hats off to you Mr. Wolff. Which brings me … Continue reading Pseudo Book Review Of “Fire And Fury” Or If Only There Was More Space Between The Lines
Maybe Put A Label On It Instead Of Enabling A Bimbo To Sing Put A Ring On The Heart Of Suckers Born Every Minute
How do you regulate consumption? The consumer is the backbone of the greed economy. No wonder we all have back pain, eh. Yet we also live in a system that has found a way to protect the riches of great-great grandparents. Indeed. Long dead stupid white people have inherited their wealth to offspring that are … Continue reading Maybe Put A Label On It Instead Of Enabling A Bimbo To Sing Put A Ring On The Heart Of Suckers Born Every Minute
Yet Another Example Of Fixing Stupid With Stupider
Disclaimer: The pic above is not an ad. Also, I wish no ill-will to the winery. And in all fairness, the wine wasn't all that bad (as I eventually did try it--but never drank a glass of it). But I do wish to be critical--on behalf of all humanity that has not allowed itself to be … Continue reading Yet Another Example Of Fixing Stupid With Stupider
Men With Combs Not Comb-Overs
Even when I had hair I never used a comb. For me it was a brush all the way. Is that why I'm baldy now? Nomatter. Let's worst-discourse about #emails once again, shall we. It was not long ago when emails were the thang. Or have you forgotten about Hillary's emails already? So much time, … Continue reading Men With Combs Not Comb-Overs
How To Fix Something That Has To Be Broken? #Gerrymandering #NetNeutrality
As a non-chess player, I'm thinking of moves in the future. What moves, you ask, dear worst-reader? Well, I'm thinking of how that $hitkicker politician in Alabama lost his bid to wear a (his) stupid hat in the United Mistakes Senate. You know, dear worst-reader, he wasn't supposed to lose. And the reason he wasn't … Continue reading How To Fix Something That Has To Be Broken? #Gerrymandering #NetNeutrality
Only In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Can You Get Fired For Being Smart
Only in the land of free-to-be-stupid where 1st and 2nd amendments lay waste to, well, the ultimate stupidity, can you get fired for a deserved traffic gesture. On the other hand, some nutcase can beat his wife, get a military discharge that is not dishonourable, and then go about his bidness of being fcuking stupid, … Continue reading Only In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Can You Get Fired For Being Smart
Malice And Spite Make Not Everything Nice
You'd think that a criminal indictment of a presidential candidates campaign worker would be enough to fulfil the greed-needs of mongers, i.e. stupid white people that are unable to cope with the harvest they've sewn. No. Seriously. Harvest. Like a harvest of wheat totally and completely compromised by excessive ergot exposure. Are republicans finally so high … Continue reading Malice And Spite Make Not Everything Nice
Priceless Statue Fascist Glory
Homeland bound. Homeland waning. Homeland unwanted visit--but also not a voluntary one. Although this was/is my normal off-season time of travel to the Homeland, I thought it better that I let it go this year and jaunt over the Atlantic early next year instead. Reason for change of travel-mind? Yea, could have something to … Continue reading Priceless Statue Fascist Glory
The Looking Mirror Avoided
"For example (and thanks to Doug Korty for this point), the total deficits of the federal government from 1950 to 2009 were $6.6 trillion. During those years, three Republican presidents (Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush) accounted for the vast majority of those deficits. All the other presidents (Harry Truman, Dwight … Continue reading The Looking Mirror Avoided
The Ugly Truth From The Ugly Mouth That’s Never Been Washed #Soap
“...the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.” -Steven Bannon. The thing about hate is how it can go so well so unseen. I experienced … Continue reading The Ugly Truth From The Ugly Mouth That’s Never Been Washed #Soap
A Faustian Bargain Is Not A Pact
While listening to the news about my beloved and missed #americant, and, of course, news about #Trump, some talking-head started on about a Faustian Bargain. In the wake of Charlottesville, VA, isn't it time to have something new to take your minds of the reality you've given yourself? Of course, I have to stop in … Continue reading A Faustian Bargain Is Not A Pact
