Maine Governor thinks President Obama hates white people

Witnesses at a meet-and-greet fundraiser in Maine last week just recently reported that Republican Governor Paul LePage said the following:

"He (Obama) could have been the best president ever if he highlighted his biracial heritage, but the president hasn't done that because he hates white people."

Yes, a president who was elected twice, hates 63% of the people in this country solely based on their skin color - some of whom voted for him to become their president.

So, Mr. LePage, could you provide me with a few reasons why you feel that President Obama hates white people?

::waits::

I haven't got all day...

::waits some more::

Okay then, I'll just assume he was speaking out his arse.

This claim reminds me of Mitt Romney's 47% speech, only worse. Romney insinuated that nearly half of the people in this country are nothing more than worthless, unemployed moochers, whom can't do anything for themselves. Just imagine if President Obama had been caught in a similar moment - one which would make Governor LePage say, "See? I told you so!" I imagine it would go something like this:

"There are 63 percent of the people who will vote for Mitt Romney no matter what. All right, there are 63 percent who are with him, who are as pale as a drunken zombie, who believe they are superior to black people like me, who believe they can take care of themselves without any help from the government, who believe they can dance. Yet whether they want to admit it or not, they get help from the government. It's my job to convince them that they don't need help while giving them that necessary aid and patting them on the heads in the process. After they roll over, I'll give them a treat in the form of a check. Now, these people, they'll vote for Romney no matter what. I mean, just look at them. My job is not to worry about these people. I'll never convince them to take dancing lessons or to accept government aid without complaining about it. Dam* white people..."

Yeah, that would have gone over well. As you were saying, Mr. LePage...

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...
