Todd Akin is a sly "dog"

How Missouri Republican Senatorial candidate Todd Akin will be able to win the vote of a single woman on election day, including any he's related or married to, is beyond me at this point.

A couple months ago, Akin let the world know of a scientific breakthrough - that when women are raped, their vaginas possess magical powers to ward off any sperm which could potentially impregnate them. Due to this, abortion in the cases of rape would not be necessary.

Following a debate with his opponent - Claire McCaskill - he said she wasn't very "ladylike" at the debate. Apparently, she wasn't dressed in the proper "Little-House-on-the-Prairie" attire, didn't speak to Akin like a king or place on more make-up than Gene Simmons.

Mr. Akin continued his smooth-talking ways this weekend, when at a fundraiser, he said the following about his opponent - Senator Claire McCaskill:

"She goes to Washington D.C., it's a little bit like one of those dogs, you know 'fetch.' She goes to Washington, D.C., and get all of these taxes and red tape and bureaucracy and executive orders and agencies and she brings all of this stuff and dumps it on us in Missouri. It seem to me that she's got it just backwards. What we should be doing is taking the common sense that we see in Missouri and taking that to Washington, D.C., blessing them with some solutions instead of more problems."

That's right. In the past couple months, Todd Akin has talked about "legitimate rape" as he called it, claimed his opponent wasn't very "ladylike" and then compared her to a dog.

I think it's now safe to say that when he first approached his wife, Todd Akin said the following - "You know, I couldn't help but notice you sitting over here by yourself. There's something very nice, very familiar about you and I felt the need to come over. You know, you really remind me of somebody. Ah, I know, my bulldog, Buddy. So, can I buy you a drink or get you a water bowl?"

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...
