A Crazy Santorum Obamacare Conspiracy Theory

Like many others of his party, Rick Santorum has decided to join the crazed Obamacare conspiracy circle, where the members join hands, drink spiked Kool-Aid, and sing the new song "Kumbaya Against Gays" in unison.

At a Young Americans for Freedom event last Friday, Santorum said the following during a speech he made:

"It's actually a pretty clever system (Obamacare). Take care of the people who can vote and people who can't vote, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them care so they can't vote against you."

I could tear this conspiracy theory apart a number of different ways, but will decide to go the logic route this time.

What Rick Santorum is implying is that Obamacare will take care of those whom can vote, but will kill those whom can't vote as quickly as possible, so that these very people can't vote against you.

Let's think about this for a minute, which is approximately sixty seconds longer than Santorum obviously thought about matters before speaking. The legal voting age is 18, so according to Rick Santorum, it's President Obama's goal to kill those under 18 and perhaps minorities, women, and elders in certain states, due to them having problems voting because of voter suppression laws passed by the Republican Party. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense...

So, mixing Rick Santorum's conspiracy theory with facts, here's our basic breakdown:

1) Obamacare will take care of people whom can vote and do away with people whom can't vote.

2) The Republican Party passes voter suppression laws to make it more difficult for typical Democratic voters, such as women and minorities, to cast their votes.

3) Due to all this, it's apparent that President Obama's ultimate goal with Obamacare is for it to kill many Democratic voters which would help to keep it as law.

Does that all sound about right, Mr. Santorum? In your own demented mind anyway?

It would have made a lot more sense if Santourm had altered his statement slightly so that it centered around the GOP's voter suppression efforts, and he said this:

"It's actually a pretty clever system (voter suppression). Take care of the people who will vote for you and people who won't vote for you, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them the opportunity so they can't vote against you."

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...
