Wendy Davis receives a death threat

The Texas Governor's race is starting to get interesting, as reports have recently showed that Democrat candidate Wendy Davis outraised Republican candidate Greg Abbott last month. This prompted one Johnny Bones to make the following comments on a thread on Greg Abbott's Facebook page:

"you libtards are wasting your time . you should pack it in and save your cash for a bus back to san fran. davis will never win in this state the numbers simply DO NOT EXIST. and even if they did some folks have a .50 cal head ache waiting for her. b*tch has (now pay attention to this) ZERO CHANCE. so GO YOUR COLLECTIVE AS*ES Back TO CALI."

After someone called him out on the death threat, Mr. Bones responded with this:

"I don't threaten b*tch"

First off, I find it kind of funny that Mr. Bonehead refers to liberals as "libtards," considering the fact he made 30 grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors in a single paragraph.

Secondly, how in the world can Mr. Boner's statement not be seen as a death threat?

He said, "...and even if they did some folks have a .50 cal head ache waiting for her..."

Care to clear that up, Mr. Bones?

"I don't threaten b*tch"

Very nice... Mr. Bony is right. He didn't threaten Wendy Davis. He was simply reporting the fact that if Wendy Davis won, someone would shoot and kill her. That doesn't mean it would be him. It would be like the following scenario:

Setting: At a bar named Drunken Fight Club

Bruno Macho: "If you ever talk that way to me again, you're dead! Do you hear me?"

Screech Scrawny: "Excuse me? Are you threatening me? Did everyone hear that? Nevermind, I have it recorded. Now I think it's time to call the police with that death threat."

Bruno: "Oh, no! That's not going to work! I didn't threaten you! Did anyone hear me say, 'If you ever talk that way to me again, I'll kill you!?!' No! I simply said, 'If you ever talk that way to me again, you're dead!' There's a huge difference!"

Screech: "Okay, I'll play along. So who would kill me then?"

Bruno: "I don't know - someone."

Screech: "You'd be the one wanting me dead, correct?"

Bruno: "Yeah, I guess..."

Screech: "So, let's piece two and two together here. You're the one that said I would be dead and are the one who wants me dead. So how can claiming I'll be dead if I ever talk to you a certain way again not be seen as a death threat?"

Bruno: "I don't know. I just..."

Screech: "Wanna go to jail?"

Bruno: "What kind of question is that? No, of course not!"

Screech: "Well, then - you just remember that the next time you think about following through with your threat. I'm told there's nothing quite like shower-time in prison, and judging by how you dropped that drink earlier, there may be nobody in there having a better time than you."

Bruno: "Dude, I'm gonna..."

Screech: "You're gonna what?"

Bruno: "Nothing..."

Screech: "That's what I thought, but wrong again. You're going to pay my tab. Thanks."

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...
