No offense, Glenn Beck, but you're a tool...

Glenn Beck is at it again - spreading stupidity, I mean, conspiracies (there's often times a thin line between the two).

It appears as if Beck believes the government might be lying about Secretary of State John Kerry's wife (Teresa Heinz Kerry) being recently hospitalized. Beck has criticized Kerry for allegedly being on his boat in Nantucket while the chaos in Egypt unfolded last week.

The State Department responded to the photographs showing Kerry on his boat by saying the following:

"While he (Kerry) was briefly on his boat on Wednesday, Secretary Kerry worked around the clock all day including participating in the President's meeting with his national security council."

Beck then responded to both this and the news about Kerry's wife in this manner:

"Instead of telling you the truth, [the government] says [Kerry] is definitely not on his boat. Until the pictures actually show up and then, 'Okay, he was on his boat.' And you expect me to believe that Mrs. Ketchup is in critical condition? I mean no offense, maybe she is."

Oh, no offense taken. A woman's life was in jeopardy, Beck insinuates her health situation was fabricated, yet then immediately says that he doesn't mean offense.

Segueing from that, I have to imagine Beck will utter the following lines at some point in his life (if he hasn't already):

- "You expect me to believe their 20-year old dog died? I mean, no offense or anything, but still..."

- "You expect me to believe a straight dude got AIDS from having lots of unprotected sex with lots of women? No offense, but give me a break!"

- "You expect me to believe that people actually listen to and believe what I say? No offense, but are people really that stupid?"

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
