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

Now That's A Protest
The inevitable is at your front door. Perhaps not unlike the grim reaper. Remember the reaper? He came along just after you had the canned salmon. Nomatter. As I've stated here & there, TTP and TTIP are inevitable. Obviously protests like the one in Berlin will have some sort of effect on it but I don't think … Continue reading Now That's A Protest
A World Of Stupid
TPP is on its way to becoming law--and no one knows exactly what it's about. VW admitted to lying about exhaust emissions of its wildly popular TDI cars. Air France execs get their shirts ripped off because, well, they are in the process of ripping off their workers. Yeah, baby. Another day, another small fry … Continue reading A World Of Stupid
Treaty Or Trade Agreement?
This post is NSFW due to some language issues I'm having. The art of the deal. Rule #1. Lie. Rule #2. Lie. Rule #3. You guessed it, dear worst-reader: make it so that the truth is what you say it is. Rule #4. Let there only be one side that sets the rules and that … Continue reading Treaty Or Trade Agreement?
TPP Stands For: It's Payback Time (Or Something Like That)
When asked if I like Barry Obama I rudely respond with a question. "Are you republican?" If they say, "No, I'm a Democrat," then I respond thus: He's ok, but I'm very disappointed. If they respond, "Yes, I'm a Republican," I respond thus: I love him. With that in mind, dear worst-reader, I'm disappointed in Barry-O because: He's from … Continue reading TPP Stands For: It's Payback Time (Or Something Like That)
The TPP Miracle
No. Seriously. If you thought you were screwed before, you know, screwed by the lie of the open market, the economy or corporations wait till the near future lays its greedy paws in your starving lap. Anyone remember NAFTA? Well, if you feel as though you never could get that job or career that you were hoping for (yours … Continue reading The TPP Miracle
Like Not Like
So. Like. I'm sitting on a bus last summer. I'm traveling from Salisbury, MD, to Wilmington, DE. In Wilmington a train takes me to NYC where I enjoy an afternoon and an overnight in one of my favourite places on the planet. To worst-writer there is nothing more tranquil than walking around NYC until I feel like … Continue reading Like Not Like
Just Living The Dream, Dude
Seriously. Don't know what everyone is so giddy about. But then again I reckon waking up is hard to do when you live both in the intoxication and the hangover. Indeed. Such is life. And so. Whether one is facing the demise of her/his dreams or the reality of seeds (obviously everyone has) sown, what … Continue reading Just Living The Dream, Dude
Getting Blurred
http://www.democracynow.org/embed/story/2013/11/14/tpp_exposed_wikileaks_publishes_secret_trade Interesting debate between/among workers-for-the-man. But what is such a trade agreement really? On the one hand, this particular trade agreement has to do w/copyrights and all that that old chestnut entails. On the other hand, the environment is mentioned in it as well. All worstWriter can say about that is, why now?, why in … Continue reading Getting Blurred
