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

The Event Horizon Of Stupid
Event Horizon - noun, Astronomy, a theoretical boundary around a black hole beyond which no light or other radiation can escape; a point of no return: we're nearing the event horizon of the presidential election. Hat totting rural-ites taking over useless government buildings claiming the land which that building sits on is unlawfully owned by government. These same people also maintain … Continue reading The Event Horizon Of Stupid
Review Refurbished MBA New Toy
Not For Sale Although it may sound like it, I'm not selling anything. It's just another boring morning of rain and grey weather and contemplation about tech. Also. The only form of sunshine this time of year (in Germania) is when a new toy arrives. And. What for a toy! With that in mind, this … Continue reading Review Refurbished MBA New Toy
Time To Make A Documentary About What's Outside The Mirror Not About What's In It
The best part of this documentary is at the end when Michael Moore says that he can't keep doing this. Of course, he then appeals to his audience directly making a request to those in the theatre to help him out--because he can't keep doing this. I assume he's referring to help with democracy and … Continue reading Time To Make A Documentary About What's Outside The Mirror Not About What's In It
Green Magic Markers, Paying, The Donald In London
Some dialogue while paying for breakfast this morn. Waiter: Sign here please. (Tommi takes the pen the waiter gives him but notices it's defect.) Tommi: Sorry mate, you got another pen? (Waiter grunts with a cockney accent and goes to get another pen; he returns with 2nd pen.) Waiter: Here. Tommi: Thank you. (Tommi takes … Continue reading Green Magic Markers, Paying, The Donald In London
Article About The Big Short Is Short
The good thing is, I read the book. The bad thing is, I'm still waiting for someone to address the unspoken reality of where the world is today regarding banking and finance and, of course, the (unending) great recession. The thing that gets me is that every time I read something about The Big Short (movie) … Continue reading Article About The Big Short Is Short
Intercourse Anew Or How I See Mechanics Old
A pic I took recently. Notice how the machine is perfectly aligned. (Short pause. Blink.) Except for the camera that reflects my mind. (No pause.) There are gears that intertwine. Perfectly they glide, common yet far and wide. If I had to I'd say, admit, where this pic comes from... This is the image that a … Continue reading Intercourse Anew Or How I See Mechanics Old
Biggest Tell From #SOTU: #TPP
Holy krapp, dear worst-reader. I just listened to Barry-O's last #SOTU address. As usual, I cringed and wiggled while listening to it. Why is it that these speeches give me the creeps? Is it the fact that I know people like Barry-O either know what they are saying and so they say it anyway or … Continue reading Biggest Tell From #SOTU: #TPP
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
Maine Subtext Drugs Promiscuity And Nice Shirts
The traffickers—these aren't people who take drugs. These are guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty. These type of guys that come from Connecticut and New York. They come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave. Which is … Continue reading Maine Subtext Drugs Promiscuity And Nice Shirts
Boardroom Gender Quotas vs Cologne On New Year's Eve vs The Meaning Of Freiwild
What a grand opportunity Germania has right now. Will it act on this opportunity? Of course not. And why not? Well, the answer is simple. There's no money or taxes to be had in acting on a human failing that, up to now, cannot be made financially exploitable for the centralised state. Misogyny and (mafia) patriarchy are … Continue reading Boardroom Gender Quotas vs Cologne On New Year's Eve vs The Meaning Of Freiwild
Pale Shades Of Gemütlichkeit, Gleichgültigkeit And Happy Kites
Had a brief call with an old girlfriend the other day. Before I could even get around to the "how's the weather" or "how's your love-life" (up there in Berlin) there was something boiling in her voice about who/where/what she is. While she spewed out all her frustrations from being fired from her job because … Continue reading Pale Shades Of Gemütlichkeit, Gleichgültigkeit And Happy Kites
Find The Question In The Answer Of The Message
The task of American TV binge-watching is not a small one, especially when competing with one's better-half who is usually at least two shows ahead of me. The reality is, I'm losing the challenge of who can get through the shows the quickest. Lost big-time, in fact, with recent binge-watching of The King of Queens. It took … Continue reading Find The Question In The Answer Of The Message
Who Eats Who And What Is On Third
"We Kennedys eat Rockefellers for breakfast." Imagine Robert Kennedy saying that. Imagine the vehemence that could fill the air once those words were published. Imagine the Kennedy and Rockefeller families with a slight twist: they are the Hatfields and the McCoys. Or just just forget all that and go back to third grade (or maybe fifth … Continue reading Who Eats Who And What Is On Third
How To Print Your Own Money
When I was a kid I remember being confused about light bulbs. Beyond the fact that few of them would go off in my head, I couldn't wrap that same head around issues of wires, connectors and periphery that made lightbulbs an essential part of every night life. Plus. Why is it that there are … Continue reading How To Print Your Own Money
