Romney/Ryan - The Comeback Team ("Come back with us to the 1820s!")

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have called themselves "The Comeback Team," which can be seen displayed on billboards, bumper stickers, television ads, the internet, temporary tattoo stickers, autographs signed on women's chests, etc. Initially, I imagine the Republican Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates meant for this slogan to mean that by electing them, they'll bring the country back to where it should be in their minds - both from an economic and "moral" standpoint. America is going to "comeback" under their leadership, I'm sure is what was intended with the phrase. However, in light of a new Pew poll showcasing that President Obama leads Romney by 8 points among likely voters, perhaps the before-mentioned slogan was merely a foreshadowing of that.

Of course, the slogan can be taken rather ambiguously and being the smart aleck that I am, I'd like to have some fun with it. I'll now concoct a few alternative sayings of the Romney/Ryan slogan by attempting to explore what it is they mean exactly by "The Comeback Team."

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to the kitchen where you belong, ladies!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back with us to the 1820s!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to the Bush years! Weren't those great?

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to Earth, which we vacated long ago.

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to reality and please bring us with!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back to us after we say 47% of you don't matter!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back the gays and we'll give you a free haircut!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back animal lovers and we'll provide your dog with a free ride on the roof of our car!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back Jesus and take us away from this God-awful election!

Romney/Ryan: The Comeback Team - Come back Mitt and show your true identity, whichever one that is!

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...
