How ironic is it that the final presidential debate is in Boca Raton, Florida?

I haven't heard many in the media mention this bit of irony, but upon hearing that the third and final presidential debate will be held in Boca Raton, Florida on Monday, I busted out laughing.

Why did I find this bit of news so funny? That's because in the third and final debate, about two weeks prior to the election, will be held in Boca Raton, where Mitt Romney provided his donors and via a leaked audio tape, millions of Americans, his 47% comments. That's right - "47%" took place in Boca Raton, Florida. 

How perfect is that? This sounds too good to be true. While the debate will largely focus on foreign policy, it'd be a crime if the "47%" comments weren't mentioned at least once. Obama has been handed a golden opportunity. If and when Romney attacks him for his bowling skills or whatever is on his mind at the moment, the president can simply respond with, "That reminds me. I love Boca Raton. I think you do too, don't you, Governor Romney? As a matter of fact, he loves this place so much, that he held a private meeting here with some donors back in May, where he said that it wasn't his job to worry about the 47% of Americans whom don't pay federal income taxes - going on to say they're irresponsible and will vote for me no matter what he said or did. That, of course, isn't true. The fact of the matter is, I love Boca Raton, Florida, and no matter who anyone votes for or how much money they make, I will represent them as President of the United States of American - not 53% of you, like Governor Romney, but 100% of you." 

Ah, it's like poetry.

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...
