Pastor Kevin Swanson apparently likes talking crazy

With regard to a new Nabisco Honey Maid commercial, which showcases a same-sex couple, anti-LGBT rights Pastor Kevin Swanson of Colorado was at it again, as he made the following statements in a Generations Radio broadcast:

- "When you come down to things like axe murder or homosexuality and you say, 'We're really going to promote it and we're going to encourage everybody in America to engage in this or at least support this thing,' there will be people on the other side who will take an adamantly opposed position to your support of axe murdering or homosexuality. They will be intolerant -- they will be very intolerant of that which is evil, like axe murdering."

- "Maybe they had another family where a dog is the wife with a human husband. Homosexuals love their friends and cannibals love their victims - they taste good."

These quotes are so out of whack, I seriously have to wonder if Mr. Swanson was high or drunk at the time of uttering them.

With regard to the first quote, the first thing that came to mind was a '90s Mike Myers film, entitled, So I Married an Axe Murderer. If the two "evils" were so comparable, then the screenwriters could have named the film, So I Married a Homosexual, and it would have been virtually identical, right?

Also, I remember seeing the following question and answers on a make-believe episode of Family Feud:

Question: "What's the scariest thing in the world?"

5. Gunshots

4. Tornadoes/hurricanes

3. Axe murderers

2. Death

1. Homosexuals


Then, with regard to Mr. Swanson's second quote, he compares homosexuals "loving" their friends to cannibals loving their victims, because they taste good. Okay... If he's going to make that comparison, couldn't he also say, "Heterosexuals love their "friends" (partners) and cannibals love their victims - they taste good"? In other words, the comparison doesn't make a "lick" of sense. Yeah, like I said earlier, I really wonder if before this show's broadcast, Swanson mumbled to himself, "Mm... I love the taste of my friends Johnny Walker, Jose Cuervo, and Mary Jane."

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
