Had about enough with #MAGA again again today. That means I spent a few hours reading the newz of my beloved & missed #Americant. I'm not sure if my interest in newz has peaked on account of #Trump or if I'm just having one of those feel-sorry for myself evenings on account I can't find …
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 …

Blut Und Boden Or If You’re A Good Boy You Can Have All The Pu$$y You Want
Well, dear worst-reader. I got five years. It's been a long time since my expat host country offered me five. For the past ten or twelve years (about half my total stay so far), it's always been a two year visa. "Two years and let's see how things go," some automaton sitting behind an ugly …

The Great Reconciliation Undo Or How Bubbha Missed The Blue Dress On His Second Go Round
Disclaimer 1: This post NSFW (for slight reference to certain sex stuff). Disclaimer 2: "Bubbha" is nickname given Bill Clinton. There was a moment while listening to Bill Clinton bat an eye when the interviewer asked (out of the blue) about his grand past where I didn't know whether to LMAO or LOL. But then, …
Doing What’s Do-Able In Times Of #Trump And Too Much Freedom To Be Stupid
Believing in the power of knowledge has been a worst-mantra of mine for years. That's probably why it's so difficult for me to deal with the anti-intellectualism that has overcome my beloved & missed #Americant. I mean, what else could get a man like #Trump so far in this life? Or do you actually believe …

Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
I tried to become a watch-nut once. Not a real watch-nut, mind you. Of course not. A real watch-nut spends lots of money on watches. Heck, I don't even like money. Anywho. A watch-nut knows what a complication is. In fact, that's the only thing that made watches interesting to me. The simpler the complications, …

Bowing Faithfully To The Makers And Players Of “Just Say No”
I use to think the saddest part about being poor was the food. That must sound strange considering how much of the planet is desperate for food. Yet considering what some of the richest countries collectively ingest, perhaps it's not too far fetched to make a comparison between what we eat and what eats us. …

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 …
