Romney may actually be a robot

In an article recently released by Boston Spirit, one David Wilson shed some light on Mitt Romney's thoughts, feelings and interactions with the gay community.

As Massachusetts Governor in 2004, Romney spoke out in favor of banning same-sex marriage in the state, going so far as endorsing a constitutional amendment which would do just that.

In interacting with then Governor Romney and attempting to plead his case against the amendment, Wilson reflected on the experience, saying, "It was like talking to a robot. No expression, no feeling. People were sharing touching stories, stories where you'd expect recognition in the other person's face that they at least hear what you're saying -- that there's empathy. He didn't even shake his head. He was completely blank."

According to Wilson, Romney did utter a few words, as he said, "I didn't know you had families."

The lead plaintiff in the case - Julie Goodridge - was concerned about what she'd tell her adopted daughter if she and her partner's marriage were overturned.

According to Goodridge, Romney responded with, "I don't really care what you tell your adopted daughter. Why don't you just tell her what you've been telling her for the last eight years?"

I have a feeling these alleged quotes could make for great bumper stickers:

"You have families?" - Mitt Romney. Vote Romney - he listens...or something...

"I don't care what you tell your daughter!" - Mitt Romney. Vote Romney - he cares...about stuff...

I can even hear Romney doing the following ad:

"Do you have a family? Think I care? I don't care about your stinking family! Have a daughter? A son? Two dogs, a chicken and an emu named Elmer? Think I give a s**t (bleep)? No. What the f**k (bleep) do I care? Have a family? Good for you. Want a cookie? No - you're probably just a dependent liberal and want me to give you a car, right? That's what I thought! So, yeah - have a family? I really couldn't give two s**ts (bleep). Hell, I couldn't even give one s**t (bleep). I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message."

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...
