Still having trouble with an old friend and his/her inability to define fascism in the wake of the racist violence in #Charlottesville, VA. On top of that, my old friend is a bit über obsessed with both-siderism, a common problem for Americans these days that are unable grasp why things have turned out the way … Continue reading Doubling Down On Merit As Deception

Email From An Old Friend Or How To Fight The Nuance Of Innate Hate Run Amok While Consuming To Survive
Below is a shocking, nuanced-filled email exchange with an old friend. Unfortunately, even though I wish otherwise, there's not much I can do about what is really going on back in my beloved #americant--that can lead to such an email. I am not only an expat but I'm also no longer a believer. Indeed. I … Continue reading Email From An Old Friend Or How To Fight The Nuance Of Innate Hate Run Amok While Consuming To Survive
Time To Lose Your Holy Ghost
For a man like Cornell West to say that he's never seen this kind of hate in his life says a lot about #americant, the lost American way, about being played. Indeed. If you still support #Trump or anything GOP you have been played to the hilt. Congratulations sucker. "So, in that sense, you know, … Continue reading Time To Lose Your Holy Ghost
The Not-So-Great Re-Read Of Someone’s History Re-Told Or How Greed Has Made Your $hitshow
A pseudo-review of this book is here. I recently felt compelled to re-read it. Reason? Something has stuck in my head for the last few years based on something I read about this book a few years back. I can't remember who wrote it--or maybe it was something I even heard someone say--but it went something … Continue reading The Not-So-Great Re-Read Of Someone’s History Re-Told Or How Greed Has Made Your $hitshow
Corporatism, Mobbing And The Daily Routine Of The Race To The Bottom
Behaviour these days is everything; it is a pillar at the base upon which the global system, in its current iteration, rests and functions. In fact, nothing gets done without behaviourism. If you don't behave then you are an outcast, you are ostracised from the/a system. You may also be accosted or, better yet, mobbed. Whether … Continue reading Corporatism, Mobbing And The Daily Routine Of The Race To The Bottom
Cut Off Nose To Spite Face, #Americant Style
https://youtu.be/drVBVnAfzoY It just keeps gettin better and better. Sitting on this pedestal I've made for myself at thirty thousand feet above normal, I look down at my brethren of yore, my deepest cousins in crime, the land I miss so dearly. And while looking down, what do I see? A shit-show of epic proportions. I … Continue reading Cut Off Nose To Spite Face, #Americant Style
Stuck In The Abomination That Is The Third Grade Through To The Sophomoric. You’re Welcome.
The moment I first heard the term "fake news" I laughed my a$$ off. I mean, come on. I grew up in a suburban hell that can only produce propaganda, greed, and, maybe the rock band Texas Hippie Coalition (even though, in spirit or proximity, I'm from no where near Texas). No. Seriously. I just … Continue reading Stuck In The Abomination That Is The Third Grade Through To The Sophomoric. You’re Welcome.
What Scares More? Who Or How A $140m Was Won In Court?
https://youtu.be/OMcSdi8JzxY When I was kid there were two things that scared me. One was the return of my father who abandoned me when he realised the petty jubilee of war-winner's bounty in the form of young German girls--while fulfilling his commitment to the US military--and how that wasn't quite what he thought it would be. … Continue reading What Scares More? Who Or How A $140m Was Won In Court?
Rare Moment Where Line Of Right And Left Cross In Unceremonious Ceremony Of Misconstrued Cluster Fcuk
https://youtu.be/k6XQOD-7VhA Update: Since posting there has been what the press is calling a leftist terror attack in the US. How convenient for the right, eh. I suppose another left-right line has been crossed because the perpetrator once volunteered for the presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, who is a lefty (I guess). This type of violence … Continue reading Rare Moment Where Line Of Right And Left Cross In Unceremonious Ceremony Of Misconstrued Cluster Fcuk
War On Terror. War On Drugs. War On Boobs. Amerika Fcuk Yea!
There you have it, dear worst-reader. Another law (ordinance?) has been created by the/a state so that you can be served the best quality juicy delight of governmental hard work that (in)humanity has to offer. And would you believe I'm actually from the place where this level of mindlessness happens--whether it's about boobs or not? … Continue reading War On Terror. War On Drugs. War On Boobs. Amerika Fcuk Yea!
Random Moments Of Consumption Galore Or How To Get Your Kicks While On Route To 666
Moments I recall that are all--must be?--part of today's #americant opioid problem galore (see links below). The funny thing about this little list of recollections is that all the parties involved had something to do with Vegas. ...I think. Moment #1 While drinking a beer and waiting for an international flight at PHL a few … Continue reading Random Moments Of Consumption Galore Or How To Get Your Kicks While On Route To 666
It’s A Good Thing I’m Not Draining The Swamp Because I’d Start With Those T-Shirts that Say: FBI – Female Body Investigator
No. Seriously. I bet if you did some kind of whacked-out empirical study--you know the stuff college grads can't do anymore--because if they could they wouldn't have gotten the world into the neo-liberal krapp-shoot it's become--then you would know for sure what purpose a government organisation like the FBI really serves. It's funny too how … Continue reading It’s A Good Thing I’m Not Draining The Swamp Because I’d Start With Those T-Shirts that Say: FBI – Female Body Investigator
Her “Deplorables” Are Alive And Well Or You’re A Fascist And Don’t Know It Yet
Update: Always remember, dear worst-reader, when all else fails in your quest to fail-upwards, violence always wins. And so. Let's give those deplorables a hand. They win. Again. Again. Again. (Thank you Bill & Hillary Clinton!) Hi-Larry-Us, dear worst-reader. The first thought that came into my worst-mind upon hearing the news that another batsh*t republican … Continue reading Her “Deplorables” Are Alive And Well Or You’re A Fascist And Don’t Know It Yet
Odd Sources, Truth Be Told (Somehow) And The Death Of #SethRich
Update: see below. Granted. I don't watch faux newz. Can't stomach the stuff. For conservative "media" I follow a few conservative pundit twitter accounts, have a look at Breitbart once-a-once and CNN, and then follow liberal blogs that make a point of ripping these nutbags new a$$holes here and there. (Before you think the worst … Continue reading Odd Sources, Truth Be Told (Somehow) And The Death Of #SethRich
Time To Celebrate Europe With French Vote? Not. Time For Some Lily Livered Lefties.
What has #eurowasteland done for you lately, dear worst-reader? Well, the answer is simple. Nothing. Or. Put another way. At least it hasn't given us another fcuking world war. It behooves me to say something about recent farcical election in France--that so many are comparing to the recent farcical election of my beloved #americant but because … Continue reading Time To Celebrate Europe With French Vote? Not. Time For Some Lily Livered Lefties.
Since You’ve Already Forgotten Everything You Never Knew…
I'm seriously trying not to pay attention to all the BS that's going on with #Trump right now. But it's hard, you know what I'm worst-saying, dear worst-reader? It's hard because my best guess tells me that #Trump is a frickin genius. Forget all the firings, the crazy tweets, the whacky press briefings by that … Continue reading Since You’ve Already Forgotten Everything You Never Knew…
Vulgarity And Your Mainstream
It is beyond astonishing the effort put into negative politicking in my beloved United Mistakes. Add to that a few dick jokes from a washed up former Congressman... #americant, baby. Long but worthwhile article about how #Hillary was slaughtered--among other things: Really, really long article detailing the intricacies of political power, war and greed mongering | Alternet … Continue reading Vulgarity And Your Mainstream
That Woman Syndrome
One last thought before heading back to the old country where rational thought (still) prevails in the confines of political discourse. I spent a lot of time joining my mother this visit to her various church gatherings. Whether it's mass on Sunday morning or happy-hour at a local lodge, I'm there watching her, witnessing, taking in … Continue reading That Woman Syndrome
Pathology 101: #Americant Greed Galore Times Three
Fascinating but winded article. I suppose that's why writers for The New Yorker get paid the big bucks. With that in mind, the article linked to below is a doozy. Just when I thought Citizens United had created an ideological political Autobahn to hell paid for by the über-rich that would lead my beloved #ameircant … Continue reading Pathology 101: #Americant Greed Galore Times Three
Who Hates Who Most Or How To Compare Hairdos Between #Merkel, #Trump and #Putin
It was a good press conference, I'm sure Trump would say. But then again, what else can he say? I mean, come on, dear worst-reader. Have you actually listened to him talk? He talks like... a butthole from a rejected William Burroughs novel Cousin ITT from The Munsters (after he finally got a hair cut) … Continue reading Who Hates Who Most Or How To Compare Hairdos Between #Merkel, #Trump and #Putin
Stuff I Never Knew Existed Or Why Not Politics In A Redneck Pub
I know you're not supposed to talk politics while consuming beverages at your local redneck pub. This is doubly so when beveragizing during happy-hour. Yet. Being the politically accute person I am, there are times when I can't help myself and I do that which I shouldn't. (Does that contradict being acute?) Scene: extremely windy … Continue reading Stuff I Never Knew Existed Or Why Not Politics In A Redneck Pub
May “Deplorables” Haunt Her Forever
"College educated elites carried out the neoliberal assault on the working poor and now they are being made to pay. Their duplicity embodied in politicians like The Clintons and Barrack Obama succeeded for decades. These elites, many from east coast ivy league schools, spoke the language of value, civility, inclusivity, a condemnation of overt racism … Continue reading May “Deplorables” Haunt Her Forever
That Thing About Germaphobe Presidents And Denial Press Conferences
Well, dear worst-reader, did you think it couldn't get any worst? Surprise! You thought just because He won your hearts, your TV screens and your presidency that the batsh*t show of electoral politics was (all) over? You thought it was time to sit back, like you always do, visit the mall and consume things you … Continue reading That Thing About Germaphobe Presidents And Denial Press Conferences
Favourite Bullets About The Demise Of All
Little to say, much to read. Been putting off reading Michael Hudson's Book: Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy. But I'll get to it soon enough. Till then here's a link to a great article written by another of my fav world-ending writers, Chris Hedges, who quotes a … Continue reading Favourite Bullets About The Demise Of All
Politburo PLUTOcracy Behaviourism
https://youtu.be/FN7v544Fd4k In all of this worst-talk about elections, The Donald, the feminine losing, how it all came to pass, one very important thing has been forgotten. What is it that makes this freak show happen? If there was ever an essence to something, there is certainly an essence here. Or are we dealing with quintessence? Indeed. … Continue reading Politburo PLUTOcracy Behaviourism
