Fox News' new game Three Degrees of Benghazi

Heard of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, where people try to connect an actor with Kevin Bacon in six or fewer steps? It appears as if Fox News has been playing a condensed version of that game with regard to President Obama and Benghazi. I call it the Three Degrees of Benghazi. Here are just a few examples:

Starting point: "Syria may have used chemical weapons against its own people."

Fox News' next move: "Obama is looking very weak as a leader during this whole thing."

Fox News' closer: "He's obviously doing this so people forget about his weak leadership during Benghazi!"


Starting point: "A shooting rampage occurred in Washington, D.C. earlier today."

Fox News' next move: "At last check, 12 people were killed."

Fox News' closer: "That is only eight more than were killed in the most brutal attack on American non-American soil - Benghazi!"


Starting point: "It's another record-breaking day heat wise across the nation today."

Fox News' next move: "Obama's talking about global warming again."

Fox News' closer: "If he thinks global warming is hot, that's nowhere near as hot as the seat he'll be on when reporters are asking him about Benghazi!"


Starting point: "Obamacare is about to be fully implemented."

Fox News' next move: "You know what that means? Free safe sex for everyone!"

Fox News' closer: "Speaking of penetration - Benghazi - and the way that attack penetrated our hearts."


Starting point: "There's President Obama greeting the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens yesterday."

Fox News' next move: "They all look so happy, but chances are there are some Ravens who aren't very happy with the president right now."

Fox News' closer: "That's right, and do you know why? The Ravens are from Baltimore. The first letter of Baltimore is 'B,' just like Benghazi."

...and so it goes... I swear, if people played the Benghazi drinking game while watching Fox News, where every time a person on Fox uttered the word Benghazi, he or she had to do a shot, everyone would be passed out within 5 minutes.

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...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...
