Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks out against "moocher 'Muricans" while on permanent vacation

Sipping on his fourth mojito and having his feet rubbed by Sean Hannity, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell took a short break from his busy morning in Cancun to speak with reporters. Given his inebriated status, the Kentucky senator was only able to take one question.

Jorge Ramos: "What do you say to the taxpayers who claim you and your Congressional brethren aren't truly earning your $174,000 salaries? That you do so little for so much, are taking advantage of hard-working Americans, are moochers in a sense, and would be fired if you put so little effort into any other job?"

McConnell: "F**k you! That's what I say! Just kidding... Hey, Jose, or whatever your name is, can you get me another one of these? Make it strong this time! Where was I? Could you repeat the question, Jose?"

Ramos: "That's Jorge..."

McConnell: "That's what I said, Jose."

Ramos: "Jorge... Nevermind... The question was, 'What do you say to the taxpayers who claim you and your Congressional brethren aren't truly earning your $174,000 salaries? That you do so little for so much, are taking advantage of hard-working Americans, are moochers in a sense, and would be fired if you put so little effort into any other job?''

McConnell: "Oh yeah. Thanks, Jose."

Ramos: "Jorge"

McConnell: "I was talking to my server."

Server: "The name's Ricardo."

McConnell: "Close enough. Thanks, amigo. Okay, so back to you, Jose. I think you're shifting focus away from the real issue - welfare recipients, the real moochers! Sure, most of them might already have a job, but just find a better one and work harder, you know? ...and let's be real here; their lives can't be too bad if they're able to spend their food stamps on Trump Steaks or whatever! As I've always said starting right now, 'Once you eat a Trump Steak, you've got it made.' I mean, look at me. This is the greatest job in the world and I'm working harder today than I ever have in Congress! Hey Sean, I need more lotion! 'Rub the lotion on my skin or you'll get the hose again, buddy!' Anyway, back to what I was saying. What was I even saying? This fifth mosquito is really getting to me. Nice going, Jorge! But look Jose, I'll close with this... Lots of welfare recipients might be working hard for next to nothing while I'm making a good living for doing what you see right now. It'd be like if Michael Jordan made less than his teammate benchwarmers back in the day, and that makes a lot of sense when you don't think about it, because America..." :: passes out ::

After awaking several hours later, Senator McConnell began pounding down margaritas while collecting donations from hardworking Americans for the coming election. While doing so, he grabbed the mic from an elderly man proposing to his longtime girlfriend and announced that his new campaign slogan would be, "Work Hard For Me, I'll Bulls*it Harder," before dropping the mic and passing out face first into a bowl of turtle soup.

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
