Who smells BS? Obama does by way of Romney

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, the following was written:

"...executive editor Eric Bates told Obama that he had asked his six-year old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president ... She said: 'Tell him. You can do it.' Obama replied: 'You know, kids have good instincts. They look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bullsh**ter, I can tell.'"

Of course, upon hearing about this, many in the conservative community said things such as the following:

"That's really presidential..."

"What a good way to set an example for the children..."

"I've never heard a president utter such a word in an interview before..."

"It takes one to know one, Mr. President..."

"Just like what you've been giving us for four years?"

That's right. Barack Obama is the first president in the history of our country to use what is coined a swear word. No other president has said the word sh*t, referred to another as a bullsh**ter or even uttered the word bullsh*t.

In the run-up to presidential elections, the candidates are typically asked the following questions at debates:

"What would you do to create jobs?"

"What would you do to help protect this country?"

"Would you raise taxes at all?"

"How can we improve education in this country?"

"Have you ever sworn?"

When certain Romney voters were asked for their main reason for voting against President Obama, here were their top responses:

1) "He's a socialist!"

2) "I hate Obamacare!"

3) "He's anti-business!"

4) "He wants to take away our guns!"

5) "He swore that one time!"

Give me a break... Like people will be more affected by Obama literally uttering the word bullsh**ter than Romney figuratively spewing out bullsh*t every chance he gets (which is quite often).

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
