Steve King says Benghazi = Watergate + Iran-Contra x 10. My response? Steve King = an idiot

Iowa Republican Representative Steve King had quite the words with regard to Benghazi yesterday, when he said:

"I believe that it's (Benghazi) a lot bigger than Watergate, and if you link Watergate and Iran-Contra together and multiply it times maybe 10 or so, you're going to get in the zone where Benghazi is. I don't think the public has any idea, and I tell you, I don't either, of the chronology of the events - what took place, and who was where doing what and why. And all the way down through - we still haven't seen an autopsy report on the ambassador yet. Simple questions that you would ask in the first 24 hours have not been asked yet."

That's right, ladies and gentleman. Benghazi is "a lot bigger than Watergate, and if you link Watergate and Iran-Contra together and multiply it times maybe 10 or so, you're going to get in the zone where Benghazi is," says a guy who has this to say regarding his knowledge of the event - "...I don't think the public has any idea, and I tell you, I don't either, of the chronology of the events - what took place, and who was where doing what and why..."

Steve King doesn't know what happened in Benghazi, who was where doing what and why, but he knows that it was worse than Watergate and Iran-Contra combined! He'd make for a great witness at a trial, wouldn't he?

Prosecutor: "Mr. King, describe for the jury the actions of the defendant, Joshua Shwing..."

King: "They were the most horrible, cruel, evil acts in the history of man! Take Hitler and Stalin's actions, multiply those by 492.7 and you might come close to where the defendant's actions are..."

Prosecutor: "No further questions, your honor..."

Defense: "Mr. King, did you personally ever see my client commit these awful crimes you just described?"

King: "No"

Defense: "Do you know of anyone who did?"

King: "No"

Defense: "Have you ever met my client before?"

King: "No"

Defense: "Before this very moment, had you ever seen my client before?"

King: "No"

Defense: "So, you expect the jury to believe that someone such as yourself who had never met or even seen my client before you entered court today can give an accurate testimony on the criminal actions he's being accused of?"

King: "Yes, of course."

Defense: "Mr. King - are you an idiot?"

King: "Huh?"

Defense: "No further questions, your honor..."

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...
