More information on my book, "A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title"

While I have time, I wanted to provide a bit more information on my latest book, A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title, which can be purchased for $12.50 on paperback at the following link - http://www.lulu.com/author/content_revise.php?fCID=21783548.

Here's the write-up on the back cover of the book:

While in nonsensical actuality Donald Trump's campaign slogan was "Make America great again!," it probably should have been either "Make facts fake again!" or "Make bigly stinky BS smell good again!" It's appeared to be the president's goal to transform the U.S. into bizarro world, where up is down, black is white, right is wrong, left is right, and a bouquet of herpes is a popular item at supermarkets every February 14th. Cite a fact? That's fake news. Cite fake news? That's a fact. So what do we do when the leader of our country tries turning reality on its head? Resort to 24-hour all-you-can-eat buffets, binge-drinking, and laughter, not necessarily in that order. That's where author Craig Rozniecki's fifteenth book, A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title, will come in handy! Not only is Rozniecki's latest work more nutritious than most fast-food, it goes with alcohol like April showers with May sponge baths, and has stimulated more laughter than watching grandma rap after inhaling medical marijuana and nitrous oxide! So join Rozniecki in attempting to cope with Trump's bizarro world, as he satirizes political events, religion, race, all the light topics you're advised to talk about on a first date, in his latest book, A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title.

Introduction - The Reality of “Fake News”
Ever since Donald Trump began running for president, the term fake news has been hotter than an oven-baked Heidi Klum when she was a 10. Anything from mainstream news articles to obvious propaganda to satire to old embarrassing unphotoshopped wedding photos have been referred to as fake news. So what is fake news? What it all comes down to is intent and follow-through. With mainstream news articles, the intent is to educate the public, and most of the time they’re successful in doing so. Just because one doesn’t want to believe the article doesn’t make it fake. If a New York Times article is titled, “Wife Uses KFC Spork to Chop Off Cheating Husband’s Penis While Listening to Bryan Adams’s ‘Cuts Like a Knife,” and there’s evidence to prove its accuracy, whether we’re that man or not, it’s true. When it comes to propaganda, the intent is to mislead readers into believing a lie to help enforce a political agenda. Again, whether or not we want to believe what the article suggests, it’s false. If a WorldNetDaily article seriously suggests that Barack Obama is both an illegal alien and an alien from a planet by the name of Kenya Kantcha, this is false. The intent of satire is to stimulate laughter while making a point, which may be exaggerated, but based of real life events. If George Carlin were to write the Bible, it’d likely be classified as satire, for he’d provide parables to teach the world some valuable lessons, yet integrate humor into the mix. So to sum up, mainstream news means real news, satire means exaggerated news in the form of comedy to make a larger point, and propaganda means bat-shit crazy fake news. That brings us to Craig Rozniecki’s fifteenth book, A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title. In this book, Rozniecki shares 100 satirical short stories which tackle serious subjects from Donald Trump to police brutality, from anti-vaxxers to Fifty Shades of Grey, from global warming to Marilyn Manson gospel albums, and beyond. In it, he’ll consistently provide you the truth through comedy, exaggeration, and a level of ridiculousness so over-the-top, it makes a Michael Bay film look like The Sound of Music. So enjoy A Collection of Satirical Short Stories: A Bigly Clever Title, which uses real news to poke fun of fake news.

Once again, the book can be ordered on paperback for $12.50 at the following link. Enjoy! - http://www.lulu.com/author/content_revise.php?fCID=21783548

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i

The verdict is in. To no one's surprise, Jonathan Hoenig has been found guilty of being an idiot.

Just recently, when discussing the Michael Brown shooting and whether or not race had anything to do with it, Fox News contributor Jonathan Hoenig said, "You know who talks about race? Racists." One moment while I provide Mr. Hoenig with the well deserved slow-clap. :: slow-claps for two seconds :: So, that was quite the line by Mr. Hoenig, wasn't it? "You know who talks about race? Racists." Well, wasn't he just talking about race? So, by his own words, I guess that makes him a racist. Also, if he wants to be consistent, does this mean that people whom talk about gender are sexists and people whom talk about sexual orientation are homophobes? With that line of thinking, Hoenig would engage in the following back-and-forths: Hoenig: "So, who are you voting for?" A woman: "The Democratic candidate, because he's been adamant about his support for equal rights for women." Hoenig: "You sexist feminist nazi!"
