I live near Schloss Benrath, dear worst-reader. If you haven't worst-read by now, I also live near the Rhine River. I live here because, well, the better-half, the dictator she is, has made it so. And it's not so bad to live here, don't you know. Especially considering it's a great locality to walk Beckett, … Continue reading Things Behind The Pleasure Palace

Wine Tasting Plus Brexit Conclusions
It was supposed to be about the wine last Sunday. But we sat across a couple from Engaland. That is, she was German and he was Cockey. Other than that, nice folks, don't you know. But then, after an agreement on Grauburgunder there was a sudden disagreement on Monarchies. A disagreement on Monarchies, of course, … Continue reading Wine Tasting Plus Brexit Conclusions
Have No Fear, Worst-Writer Is Here, To Explain Article 11 & 13 #Eurowasteland
Update: Article 11 is now 15 and Article 13 is not 17. Please apply as you worst-read. Last Saturday late morning I hopped on my e-bike and trekked to D'dorf's city-centre to pick up a loaf of the world's greatest bread and after that consume-to-survive a pair of fancy-pants new Birkenstock shoes. That's right, dear … Continue reading Have No Fear, Worst-Writer Is Here, To Explain Article 11 & 13 #Eurowasteland
How Bout A Bit Of Cockup In Your Brexit
Disclaimer: This post contains purposefully mispelt adult language. What is Brexit really about (according to worst-writer)? Well, get this, dear worst-reader. Like everything else going on in this day & age of all-things-worst, the thing Brexit is really about is simple--even though the whole debate going on for the last few years has been more … Continue reading How Bout A Bit Of Cockup In Your Brexit
Something Else About Yellow Vests
Robespierre before getting his jaw blown off along with his head. Here's a somewhat limited and underachieving-redneck understanding of the French Revolution1. First. While attempting over the years to read this or that about the Revolution, I learned a while back, to my great disappointment, that Marie Antoinette probably never uttered let them eat cake. … Continue reading Something Else About Yellow Vests
May Yellow Vests Save Us All And How I Knew Q&A Website Would Suck It
(Deep breath:) What's wrong with journalism is not the fakeness or the fake-newz but how it simply gets things wrong on account those practicing it (journalism) aren't really journalist but if they are they are journalists of a new era where journalism isn't the same as it used to be because now those who pay "journalists" … Continue reading May Yellow Vests Save Us All And How I Knew Q&A Website Would Suck It
If Only #Americants Were Willing To Learn How It’s Done
I'm forever admiring the French. They are the owners of the last GREAT revolution in all of human history. I mean, am I wrong? Or did the French brilliantly get rid of the uselessness of monarchy? Yeah, baby. Make more useless heads roll--I say. And if the heads don't roll, the French still know how … Continue reading If Only #Americants Were Willing To Learn How It’s Done
Please: French Revolution V 2.0 But Without The Beheadings (Unless You Must)
I suppose in another life I'd be yelling... burn the fcuking place down. But I'm getting to old for that sort of thing. Or am I? Obviously the world is at a tipping point. I'm glad France is leading the way around that point. Reason? Stupid, ugly, disgusting vomit in the form of rich white-people--who … Continue reading Please: French Revolution V 2.0 But Without The Beheadings (Unless You Must)
Europe: The Ones Who Do Wrong Are Always Stronger Than The Ones Who Do Right. More Poison Please.
How easy is it, dear wort-reader, to go through life doing the easy wrong and thereby avoiding the difficult right? Well, according to #eurowasteland (Europe), it's even easier. In fact, my beloved #americant isn't much different. Indeed, these brothers and sisters, these kissing cousins, these inbred westerners--split by an ocean--of nevermore... rule the world with … Continue reading Europe: The Ones Who Do Wrong Are Always Stronger Than The Ones Who Do Right. More Poison Please.
Excercise(s) In Translation: A Schlampe Is Not A Bitch. Or Is She?
There are moments, dear worst-reader, where I love the German language. There are also moments when I don't love it. But that's not what this worst-post is about. Even though I've given up studying the language--because I reached a point many years ago where I not only would dream in it but I achieved such advanced forsight … Continue reading Excercise(s) In Translation: A Schlampe Is Not A Bitch. Or Is She?
This Thing I Call French Love
I love the French. Although having grown up in a world that gives rise to to the likes of #Trump, ever since I got somewhat of a grasp of history, I've always had this thing for the French. Obviously it's never bothered me what happened in the WW2, especially when one considers what happened in WW1. … Continue reading This Thing I Call French Love
The Lie Of The #Eurowasteland Mind
When I moved to the Germania tribe of the EU in 1989, just before the Berlin Wall fell, money was all-kinda confused and at border crossings, especially to Holland, guards still checked my baggage for drugs. Was I relieved when the money got simple and I didn't have to worry about them finding a few … Continue reading The Lie Of The #Eurowasteland Mind
Another Do-It-Right Check For #Eurowasteland
Aaron Swartz would be proud? The only problem is, what would make him proud ain't happening where it should be happening. I mean, who cares about #eurowasteland anyways? Nothing comes out of #eurowasteland except new fangled ways of implementing centralised government and nifty ways to tax the sh*t out of people. On the other hand, while … Continue reading Another Do-It-Right Check For #Eurowasteland
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
Madness Says You're Welcome
Two worst-news issues this morn, dear worst-reader: gun control and privacy. What do these two issues have in common? Well, my guess is... Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Or? While reading through the hysteria that is the byproduct of madness on a scale never before seen, I couldn't help but find some irony in these two stories. … Continue reading Madness Says You're Welcome
Und Der Fährt Immer Noch
There is a scene in the satirical movie "Schtonk" where it's said that Adolf Hitler claimed in his diaries that he invented the Käfer. You know, that cute little German car known as the beetle or bug--not the new plastic krapp copy they've got now. And not only did he invent the original bug, but he … Continue reading Und Der Fährt Immer Noch
Notes From Underhuman
Thoughts this morn about Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground. I've been enjoying the taste, feel and smell of this 1972 paperback for the past few weeks. I think I acquired it while visiting London in 1995. Obviously it's not dealing with age and dryness but neither am I. Funny thing is, I've already gone through three … Continue reading Notes From Underhuman
Fire Sale
Still giggling about Greece? Yeah, me too. Yet there is something sobering about the whole (or)deal. Or is there something drunken-ing about it? Nomatter. Alexis Tsipras has recently announced he wants another--ANOTHER--vote. This time, though, he wants a vote not on his policies but on him. Which obviously makes sense since the Greeks can probably forget owning … Continue reading Fire Sale
Channeling Their Sex: Bernie Sanders and Eurowasteland's Greece
https://youtu.be/YF4XJ9gs6Bo Can I join these two, dear worst-reader? Varoufakis and Bernie Sanders? One minute I’m watching the Greek finance minister (vid) slime up his (and his country's) parts, prepping it for penetration, and the next minute I’m reading about a “socialist” politician running for POTUS that might actually get a few votes if it weren’t for what he … Continue reading Channeling Their Sex: Bernie Sanders and Eurowasteland's Greece
Side Of The Trade
Curiosity has hit this Ausländer a wee bit more than usual since Jan 1. The beginning of 2015 has offered up a lot to consider. First, the Swiss unpegged their precious Franc from the Euro. Second, East Germans, most of which were educated under the auspices of Margot Honecker, presented their intellect in the form of … Continue reading Side Of The Trade
Security Data Ukraine
Another contribution to the Interwebnets containing an email exchange with an old friend. At times this friend brings the best out of me but other times s/he does not. Nomatter. The point is to think, express those thoughts, get them down for re-reading and then figure out what drove worst-moi to write/contribute in the first place. … Continue reading Security Data Ukraine
If I Were A Rich Man
Normally I praise the place I live because it is a pretty good example of a country governed by law & order. For the most part that holds true because Germans are still rather obsessed with Ordnung, although this is waning. More importantly, Germans are obsessed with maintaining the machine that provides them so much sustenance: the German nation-state-corporation … Continue reading If I Were A Rich Man
Girl Gurl Haters
Boy do they get this wrong. What's especially wrong is utilizing a picture of the communist best gurl-friend turned capitalist-lover as an example of Eurowasteland equality. Germania is a patriarch society. Period. It is a boy-club and it means nothing that its political polit-büro leader is female. Having lived in anti-feminine Germania for the better … Continue reading Girl Gurl Haters
When Blumen Weep
Seriously. Hate to be a World Cup downer here. But I am worst-writer and not happy-writer. The article linked below starts with a reference (or is it a subtitle?) to 'the bearable lightness of being'. I will worst-assume that the authors of the article for Spiegel International are playing around with the tried and true … Continue reading When Blumen Weep
Wine Mis Advice
Above a label from one of four bottles of "Lisini" 1998 that I have rotting in my kitchen. That's right. They are rotting. Once they were magical bottles of wondrous wine. Then the reality set in. To remind me of what Italian stuck-up wine makers have done to something as simple as wine, these bottles … Continue reading Wine Mis Advice
