Oh really, O'Reilly (Bill)?

Fox News commentator and phone sex operator Bill O'Reilly seems to believe that Fox News is still the lone counter to the evil liberal media machine.

Following the White House Correspondents' Dinner, O'Reilly made the following remarks:

"The reason that's happening is that we stand alone here in FNC in bringing skepticism to the president. We tell the folks when he does something right - I do at least - and then when he does something wrong, we say that. But you're not gonna get that on the other networks. There's gotta be critical mass. It's gotta be all over the place for those people to weigh in and you know what I'm talking about."

MSNBC is known for their liberal leanings, however does have a show - Morning Joe - which features former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough as one of its two anchors. It also has a show called The Cycle which features conservative pundit S.E. Cupp as one of the four hosts. Does O'Reilly not think these two conservative Republicans ever criticize President Obama? Oh really, O'Reilly?

CNN is much less biased than MSNBC and with that, features many more conservative guests than one of its rival networks. The following conservatives are political contributors to CNN's programs: Erick Erickson, Marsha Blackburn, William Bennett, Nancy Pfotenhauer, Amy Holmes, Mary Matalin, David Frum, Rich Galen, Margaret Hoover, Susan Molinari, Leslie Sanchez, Alex Castellanos, Dana Loesch, S.E. Cupp, Ari Fleischer, and Kevin Madden. Does Bill-o really think these 16 conservatives don't ever speak negatively about President Obama? Oh really, O'Reilly?

The Sunday morning news shows on CBS, NBC, and ABC all regularly feature conservative as well as liberal guests. Once again, does Mr. Orally believe these conservative guests always speak fondly of President Obama? Oh really, O'Reilly?

Bill O'Reilly is partially right about one thing - the Fox News Network does stand alone on one front. No, it doesn't stand alone in being the only network to ever criticize the president; it stands alone in being the only network to spend all its time bashing the president.

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...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...
