Pat Robertson said what?

There can be no mistaking it - televangelist Pat Robertson is crazier than Tom Cruise hopped up on speed while on the Oprah Winfrey Show. He's let loose more facepalm-inducing quotes than drunken Richard Pryor-impersonating sailors have let the F-bomb slip.

Robertson's latest such statement he made during a recent episode of The 700 Club, where he said this:

"You know what they do in San Francisco? Some in the gay community there, they want to get people. So if they got the stuff (AIDS) they'll have a ring, you shake hands and the ring's got a little thing where you cut your finger. Really. It's that kind of vicious stuff, which would be the equivalent of murder."

Yeah, that kind of thing REALLY happens, Pat. Here's how such an event would transpire:

Lance Lancestopherson (the most flamboyant gay man in the world): ::ponders to himself:: "Who should I infect today with my magical AIDS ring? It's about time I get with the program and break this bad boy in like all the others in this city!"

Jack Mehoff: ::whistles "The Star-Spangled Banner"::

Lancestopherson: ::spots Jack:: "Ooh, he'll be the lucky one!"

Mehoff: ::continues whistling - getting to the part about bombs in the air::

Lancetopherson: ::appraoches Mehoff and lightly bumps into him:: "Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. I got so distracted by that beautiful song you were whistling. I'm sorry. By the way, I'm Pat, Pat Robertson." ::goes to shake Jack's hand::

Mehoff: "Hi, Pat. Oh, that's alright. These kinds of things happen. I'm Jack, Jack Mehoff." ::reaches to shake Lance's hand::

::the two shake hands::

Mehoff: "Ow! What the hell was that? Why am I bleeding? What did you do?"

Lancetopherson: "Ha! Take that! You've got AIDS! Oh my God! What did you do to my ring? There's blood all over it! My beautiful ring!" ::slaps Jack across the face a few times:: "You b**ch!"


Yeah, apparently there's homophobia, homoringophobia, and flipping nuts. If you answered D) - that Pat Robertson is all of those things - you would be correct!

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...
