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.

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...
