About that Obama and Beyonce rumor...

I usually don't like to post about crazy rumors, but thought I could have a little fun with this one, so I thought I'd make this an exception to the rule.

Yesterday, French paparazzo Pascal Rostain claimed that the Washington Post would post a story today about President Barack Obama having an affair with pop star Beyonce. In a story published by the French newspaper Le Figaro, he said the following:

"You know, at this time, in the United States, there is something big that is happening. It'll go out tomorrow in the Washington Post - we can say that it is not the gutter press - an alleged affair between President Barack Obama and Beyonce."

Rostain then attempted to elaborate upon his belief with this:

"First, there are still or television images of the Obama couple becoming a little distant. It is legitimate to ask questions. We found the same thing, always through images, between [French President] Hollande and [his partner Valerie Trierweiler]. Afterwards, there was the rumor. Same for Obama and Beyonce, for example. Just because it's a rumor doesn't mean that one should not go in the field to check. We should not forget Marilyn [Monroe] or Monica Lewinsky."

A spokesperson for the Washington Post has since sent an email to Poynter.com, saying, "It's definitely not true."

Even if the rumor is false, as the Washington Post alleges, let's pretend for a moment that it's true. I have to imagine the thought processes of the three presidents Mr. Rostain mentioned would go a little something like this (while adding a make-believe affair for George W. Bush as well):

President John F. Kennedy: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Okay, I want you to find me someone who epitomizes the word sexy and bring her to me. I want to do the deed with her if she'll let me. Who am I kidding? Of course she will. I'm J F - frickin' K!"


President Barack Obama: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Alright. What I'm about to ask you isn't anything I'm proud of, but I'm frustrated with Congress right now and want you to find me the most beautiful woman in the world and bring her to me so I can release some of that frustration doggystyle, or any other style she prefers. Thank you."


President Bill Clinton: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Do you see a woman? No? Where the hell are you? The first woman you spot, bring her to me. See one now? She's not my type? They're all my type right now! Little Billy is lonely and needs some company!"


President George W. Bush: ::on the phone with an adviser:: "Uh, I'm with someone right now and she's not my wife. What do I do? Yeah, our clothes are off. I've got some weird rubbery thing in my other hand right now which I'm thinking about making into a balloon animal. I shouldn't do that? Crap! So now what? I put what in where? Are you sure? Alright, if you say so. Before you go, could you bring me any of that Viva Las Vegas stuff? Oh, Viagra? Yeah, that. Cinnamon says I could probably use some. 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...
