Hank Williams Jr. Hates Intelligence

Country singer Hank Williams Jr. was known for a long time as the guy who asked the nation, "Are you ready for some football?" preceding Monday night football games. However, in the past year or so, he's become more well known for his anti-Obama rants. The reason ESPN pulled his song off the air for the Monday night games was because of a comparison he made between Obama and Hitler on Fox and Friends.

Not long ago in Iowa, Williams went off on the president toward the end of his set. Well, Hank Williams Jr. is at it again. At the Stockyard Music Festival Sunday in Dallas, Texas, Williams said the following:

"We've got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him!"

Let's run down the list of claims:

Muslim? No, Obama is not a Muslim. This has been debunked several times. (0 for 1)

Hates cowboys? I'm not sure where Mr. Williams got this, but never has the president said he disliked cowboys through words or actions. (0 for 2)

Hates cowgirls? This is getting more and more ridiculous. (0 for 3)

Hates fishing? I have never heard of the president talk about his love for fishing, but have never heard him say he hates it either. (0 for 4)

Hates farming? Once again, I've never heard or seen him act in such a manner. It'd be politically stupid to speak or show hatred for farming. (0 for 5)

Loves gays? He has come around to fully support gays rights, but I'm not sure that can be construed as "loving" them. (0.5 for 6)

There we have it! I will give Hank Williams Jr. a half a point out of a possible six, which brings him in at an 8.3%. Hank Williams Jr. may hate Obama, but there's another thing he hates just as much, if not more - intelligence!

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...
