New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan knows how to be a "real man!"

Alright, what is it with this "real man" talk the past couple of days? It was reported yesterday that a group in Tucson, Arizona was spreading around flyers about an openly gay board member at a school in the area, saying they wanted a "real man" at the position. Then today, the "real man" talk continued - this time courtesy of Republican New Jersey Senate candidate Steve Lonegan.

When talking about his opponent - Democrat Cory Booker - Lonegan said the following to Newsmax's Steve Malzberg:

"As a guy, I personally like being a guy. I don't know if you saw the stories last year, they've been out quite a bit, about how he likes to go out at three-o'clock in the morning for a manicure and a pedicure. Maybe that helps him get the gay vote, by acting ambiguous. Although I don't like going out in the middle of the night, or any time of day, for manicures and pedicures. It was described as his peculiar fetish, is how it was described. I have a more peculiar fetish: I like a good Scotch and a cigar, that's my fetish. But we'll just compare the two."

Yes, I'm sure Mr. Lonegan has many "peculiar fetishes" that only "real men" would only be able to understand, such as the following:

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is going to the police station, taking off my shirt, and flexing my muscles while Slayer plays on my boombox!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is riding my motorcycle 100 mph, off a cliff, without a helmet!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is doing six chicks at once, without Viagra!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't getting manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is watching football with a burger in my right hand, a beer in my left hand, and a woman sucking my d**k!"

- "My peculiar fetish isn't manicures and pedicures. My peculiar fetish is trying to act overly-manly to compensate for my very small penis!"

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...
