Drunken Rick Perry

It's unofficially official (according to me), Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry sounded a tad drunk or high in his recent New Hampshire speech. I'll give you all a chance to view this for yourselves: http://www.fitsnews.com/2011/11/01/nh-speech-was-rick-perry-drunk/

Pretty funny stuff, eh? I really hate to stereotype, but what is it with these Texas Governors? It's well documented that George W. Bush, at one time, had a drinking problem. He didn't seem to shy away from the coke or choking on pretzels either. Whenever the guy spoke, I had to think to myself, "Can he really be that dumb or is he just drunk?" Unfortunately for him (and us), I don't think he was drunk. Rick Perry comes across as Bush's non-identical twin. The way they talk (eloquent, of course...), they way they gesture, the way they have difficulty forming complete grammatically-correct sentences and the way they appear as if they're drunk or high half the time they speak. As I'm sure many people have either seen the picture of which I speak or just heard the phrase - "Do you miss me yet?" - in reference to former president, George W. Bush, if you do miss Dubya, Rick Perry is your guy! My answer to that? No. Eight years with one Republican Texas Governor was more than enough for me. I don't need another four to eight. Fortunately, as Rick Perry appears to be battling Herman Cain for craziest GOP candidate running for president, and with Perry's approval numbers sliding, it's very doubtful he will win the nomination. At the same time, however, Cain is neck-and-neck with Mitt Romney for first in the race to become the GOP nominee.

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...
