Obamacare asks for a restraining order against Ted Cruz

There comes a time in most all our lives where we have to take a deep breath and walk away with our tails between our legs after failing in our pursuance of a major crush. If we don't, then a court order may follow, and we soon won't be allowed within a certain distance of that person. What can I say? Love (and/or infatuation) causes many people to lose their minds once in a while.

That brings me to Texas Senator and man voted most likely to fondle himself while listening to his own recorded speeches - Ted Cruz, whom seems to possess such an intense obsession over Obamacare, the healthcare bill is rumored to be seeking a restraining order against the Senator.

Not only has Cruz uttered such extreme rhetoric where he claims that Obamacare is the end of freedom as we know it and was chiefly responsible for the government shutdown in the name of repealing the healthcare law, he's now appeared to compare everything that he deems to be wrong in the world with the Affordable Care Act.

After President Obama recently urged the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to "implement the strongest possible rules" when it comes to net neutrality (protecting a free and open Internet), Senator Cruz didn't waste a moment to respond on his Twitter account, where he posted the following tweet:

"'Net Neutrality' is Obamacare for the Internet; the Internet should not operate at the speed of government."

This is funny on two fronts: 1) Really? Everything that he doesn't agree with, he's going to compare to Obamacare? and 2) Wasn't it Mr. Cruz himself who was the main force behind the government shutdown? Due to his actions, if the Internet ran at the speed of government, it wouldn't run at all...

So, how far will Mr. Cruz take this Obamacare obsession of his? If he continues at the pace he's going, expect the Texas Senator to utter the following lines at some point:

- "California is the Obamacare to this country!"

- "Homosexuality is the Obamacare of the Bible!"

- "President Obama is the Obamacare of presidents!"

- "The Oakland Raiders are the Obamacare of football!"

- "I am the Obamacare of Congress!"

Okay, so perhaps he won't utter that last line...

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...
