What do you call it, dear worst-reader? After attempting a google search here and a wiki peak there, I'm as confused as ever. Is it... Mud Bogging Mud Pit Racing Mud Run Peanut Butter Mud Race (seriously, I found this in a search and the name comes from the colour of the mud) Deep Pit? … Continue reading Stupid Are Us. Or.

Disagreeing With The Greatest Disagreeer. Or. How Your World Of Worst Is Finally Catching Up To You.
News link that motivated this post: "Noam Chomsky: People Who Didn’t Vote For Clinton To Block Trump Made A ‘Bad Mistake’" | HuffPost Noam Chomsky thinks that those who sat out or protest-voted this election have made a mistake. Is the ageing über intellectual right? Don't get me wrong. I was for Clinton. Well, I was for Clinton … Continue reading Disagreeing With The Greatest Disagreeer. Or.

Adieu Democrats Or How I Know I'm Smarter Than #Hillary
Well, dear worst-reader, obviously I'm not smarter than Hillary Rodham Clinton. But does that matter at this point? It most certainly does not. I suppose there is no better subject to tackle after a two-month hiatus of worst-writing and an incredible 18 month long batshit election. And so... I tried. I've really tried. I have … Continue reading Adieu Democrats Or How I Know I'm Smarter Than #Hillary
Saga Puke Of #Americant Dumbed Voices Continues, But I'll See The Film Anyway Eventually
Sometimes I (worst)wonder about the voice(s) that raised me. Obviously I didn't listen much to them, yet they somehow were able to embed in the depths of the 90% brain that's used so little. Have the 20+ yrs in #Eurowasteland brought about those distant voices? Has the trauma of expatriate-ism dis-embedded those voices? Not sure. … Continue reading Saga Puke Of #Americant Dumbed Voices Continues, But I'll See The Film Anyway Eventually
Rich vs Rich
https://youtu.be/C6GyphHLAmc Some say there's a difference between wealthy and rich. It has something to do with how you came to your money. In the end the words don't matter. What does matter, though, is the result of the world's greatest experiment in democracy playing the I can be rich and powerful and all-knowing and the centre … Continue reading Rich vs Rich
Afeared Or Confused? Don't Worry You're F*cked
https://youtu.be/uhuv5ojFnSo Let's run it down, shall we. This guy (video) appears at the republican (nut job) convention to announce that he's gay and ... wait for it ... and he's also a republican--that supports #Trump. And the freak show doesn't stop there. He even has the gall to ask the question "who cares where someone goes … Continue reading Afeared Or Confused? Don't Worry You're F*cked
Waking Up With Chinaski, Wanda And The Lie Of Persuasion
https://youtu.be/h4JkuQq-kFM Read any Bukowski lately? Me either. Yet I woke up this morn with two things in my head. The movie Barfly and the art of persuasion. A strange mix indeed. Let's begin with Henry Chanski and Wanda Wilcox waxing misanthropy. Wanda: I can't stand people, I hate them. Henry: Oh yeah? Wanda: Do you hate them? Henry: … Continue reading Waking Up With Chinaski, Wanda And The Lie Of Persuasion
Apple Pie, Pumpkin Sky, Bern It To The F'n Ground Already
https://youtu.be/m9AwjZWboIk Repeating myself goes like this: I wanted Hillary in 2008. Not repeating myself goes like this: I wanted Hillary in 2008 but... That may bring you, dear worst-reader, to ask the following question: Why the "but" and why now? Well. I suppose most of the/my reasoning for wanting Hillary can be traced to a … Continue reading Apple Pie, Pumpkin Sky, Bern It To The F'n Ground Already
The Things They Can Do You Don't Want To Know About Because You Think Your Vote Matters
The #Brazil way or the #Americant way? Raise awareness of what conservatives are capable of. In Brazil they are blatant about it whereas in #americant they just take advantage of an entire moronic voting and non-voting public that is too stupid to figure things out on its own. I don't know about you but even as … Continue reading The Things They Can Do You Don't Want To Know About Because You Think Your Vote Matters

13 May, 2016 Dear Tom: Speaking of politics... This is old but it got under my skin: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-05-03/ted-cruz-explodes-epic-anti-trump-rant-he-utterly-amoral-narcissist-serial-philander But I can say, Ted Cruz is the most depressing little dwebe that has ever run for president...

How/Why Your Vote Doesn't Matter: Money Is (Above) The Law.
Read some legislation this morn. I guess I woke up feeling patriotic. But that soon waned. Indeed. Get a load of this krapp. A couple of Senators--you know, those guys in government that are the dirty hands and unwashed feet of the corporate and military industrial complex--have drafted yet another useless bill that is supposed to … Continue reading How/Why Your Vote Doesn't Matter: Money Is (Above) The Law.
Tommi's News Dump: How To Avoid Reality? Make It Up As You Go Along.
Wanting to avoid the Panama Paper's bullshit ain't gonna be easy. So maybe I should just get it out of my system. First. Who are the players other than the mass of rich greedy people that will come to light from all this? Second. So far we're dealing with a hacker, a lawyer/accounting company in … Continue reading Tommi's News Dump: How To Avoid Reality? Make It Up As You Go Along.
Know Who You're Competing With For Life, Liberty & The Pursuit Of Spendable Income
Competition is the opposite of cooperation and is perfect for sport, games and getting laid. What else has it proven to be good for? Not sure if I got the right article. But I'm gonna go with it. See below. §Gave a listen to comrade Wolff this morning. See other link below. As usual, and unfortunately, Comrade … Continue reading Know Who You're Competing With For Life, Liberty & The Pursuit Of Spendable Income
Designed In Ain't Made In #Americant
Upon his death (or joining Elvis) Steve Jobs left behind one of the most successful companies the world has ever known. Almost five years later Apple Inc. is still a behemoth of cash and profits. Which begs worst-moi to ask the following: is it me or does it feel like Apple is riding on laurels? Every … Continue reading Designed In Ain't Made In #Americant
Do Your Job Sounds The Same As Get A Job
https://youtu.be/ePsNcoMNNXc Who knew that rational thought existed in the united mistake's Senate? Why aren't there more Senators like this one? Oh yeah, #americant prefers batsh*t. Now, if only I could get through a #trump2016 speech. Wait. Let me swallow some mustard water first. There. Now I can watch a Trump speech. Rant on. -Tommi
Phallic Symbolism Of Colour Bias And Other Taunts
Moments that tell all? Or points in the time-space continuum that hide from view but are always there? One thing stands out from all the 2016 GOP debates. There is something seriously wrong with the mindset that has produced the current iteration of the republican party in the united mistakes of #americant. Double seriously. I … Continue reading Phallic Symbolism Of Colour Bias And Other Taunts
The World Should Be Thanking The(ir) Heavens For #thedonald–Or Maybe Not
First. Can The Donald really win a general election? If you think he's worth comparing to whether or not Berry Obama could win when he announced back 2007, think again. There is no comparison. And even if The Donald were to win, would it be so bad? Now don't get me wrong. I don't want … Continue reading The World Should Be Thanking The(ir) Heavens For #thedonald–Or Maybe Not
This Article Is So Good I'm Willing To Give Up Oreos For Breakfast To Read It Again
Just kidding. I actually got more oreos and made another cup of earl grey to go along with second read of Matt Taibbi's brilliant article. Things in this article that tickled me most: Hunks of recent political history that #americants should know. (But then again, if we knew them we wouldn't be #americant.) Taibbi rips … Continue reading This Article Is So Good I'm Willing To Give Up Oreos For Breakfast To Read It Again
Useless Eater From 30k Feet First Class Adoring The View Of #Trump2016 Rampage On…
As I've worst-said before, #americant doesn't deserve #Trump2016 but it has earned it/him. With that in mind, dear worst-reader, I really enjoyed reading the news this morn about the Bush family dropping out of the 2016 race. For that I'm forever grateful to The Donald. And here's my (ir)rational as to why I'm grateful. As … Continue reading Useless Eater From 30k Feet First Class Adoring The View Of #Trump2016 Rampage On…
This vs That And Something Above The Snowball(den) Effect
https://youtu.be/SGCSy2Ogoa4 As usual, dear worst-reader, worst-writer is shocked. (But I'm not surprised.) I'm shocked that #americants once again just don't get it. I mean, come on. Do you really believe that Blackberry died such a tragic death because the Canadians are so bad at managing a corporation? Or could the whole demise of Blackberry have something … Continue reading This vs That And Something Above The Snowball(den) Effect
The Tidyman, Casseroles And Early Dessert
Remember how, if given the choice, children always reach for dessert before dinner? Remember how, when playing in the sandbox, there's always a kid who will destroy your sandcastle just because he can? Remember when you got so made at the government for taking out so many taxes and giving you nothing back for it … Continue reading The Tidyman, Casseroles And Early Dessert
Do As The Romans Do In Flint Michigan
Yesterday morning I was catching up on the situation in Flint, MI. A few hours later, while preparing dinner--as part of my dinner-making ritual--I streamed a TV series. Somehow bingeing on TV shows is my newest thing, no thanks to the convenience of digital streaming. Newest binge? I started watching the new-fangled Cosmos series, a continuation of the … Continue reading Do As The Romans Do In Flint Michigan
The Authoritarians
After (proudly) watching (left-wing biased) highlights on the youtubes from the latest freak-show aka the republican party debate, a new thought popped into my head this morn. Well, actually, two thoughts popped in. The first: Winners. Not winners in the sense of winning but winners in the sense of everyone wants to be winners when there is … Continue reading The Authoritarians
Hammer Sickle Podcast
Listening to comrade Wolff again. Luv this nutty professor. And that says a lot. Of all the teachers I've had in this (my) useless-eater life, few (if any) teachers have left an impression on me. And that's an odd thing to admit if you consider the fact that by the time I was finished with … Continue reading Hammer Sickle Podcast
May Um Save The Planet Um
Seriously. I just dented my refrigerator. I hit it. Right out of the blue I hit my fridge as though it were taunting me, as though it were asking for it. Yes. That's exactly what happened. It (my fridge) was taunting me like a sheep-lamb in hell that recites Milton's Paradise lost and Redd Foxx's last … Continue reading May Um Save The Planet Um
