Ted Nuggethead Nugent's thoughts on the George Zimmerman ruling

Rock star, gun rights activist, and man voted sexiest person alive only by himself - Ted Nugent - wrote an op-ed on Sunday regarding the George Zimmerman verdict, where he stated the following:

"Trayvon Martin's vicious attack on George Zimmerman and Martin's tragic death have no doubt surely dragged Mr. Zimmerman through 18 months of untold emotional hell, pain, distress, anguish, fatigue, nightmares and financial ruin. Again, following the narrative of the pro-Trayvon media types and other race-baiters, if Trayvon Martin was a minor, then Trayvon Martin's parents may be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering Mr. Zimmerman has been put through for the past 18 months, and surely for the rest of his life."

Just when I thought the man couldn't get any stupider, he goes and says this. Yes, Mr. Zimmerman has endured quite the emotional rollercoaster over the past 18 months, Mr. Nugent. However, let's get one thing straight here - the defendant in this case has the ability to feel such things, whereas Trayvon Martin - the person Zimmerman killed - will never be able to feel such things again. Mr. Zimmerman may very well be an emotional mess for the rest of his life. Then again, he at least has the ability to live life and feel such emotions. The person he killed does not have that capability.

Nugent then decides to one-up himself on Morontron2000 by saying that if Trayvon Martin had been a minor, his parents could be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering of the man who killed their son.

Let's break down Nuggethead's train of thought here:

1) George Zimmerman kills Trayvon Martin

2) George Zimmerman is found not guilty (of a crime, but it's a fact that he killed Mr. Martin)

3) Zimmerman's family will get to experience life with him for days, weeks, months, and years to come

4) Martin's family will never get to spend a second more of life with him

5) If Martin had been a bit younger, his parents should have been held liable for the pain and suffering of George Zimmerman, while their son lays in a graveyard

6) Zimmerman and his family should not at all be liable for the pain and suffering of Martin's family - the family who's one member short of where they were not too terribly long ago because George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin.

That makes a lot of sense. With that kind of logic, perhaps abused altar boys should be held liable for the pain and suffering the Catholic Church has gone through in recent years...

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...
