Bill O'Reilly to release a new book, entitled, "Killing Journalism"

For his fifth installment in the Killing... series, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly will follow up Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, and Killing Patton with an autobiography entitled, Killing Journalism.

When asked to comment about his soon-to-be-released book, O'Reilly said, "Look, if anybody's going to be fair and balanced about all the lies they've told the American public while being trusted as an on-air news personality and journalist or whatever, that person's going to be me. You gotta problem with that?"

Fortunately, we were afforded a sneak peak of Killing Journalism. Here is a list of our favorite quotes from the inevitable best-seller (whether they're actually true or not is anyone's guess):

- "Witnesses?!? Why do I need any fricking witnesses?!? I saw what happened and that's all that matters, so shut up already, son!"

- "Sources?!? You want sources?!? Here, I've got a source for you. Do you see that? Yeah, I'm grabbing my dick! There's my source! How do you like that?!?"

- "No, I didn't do that. Why on earth would I fact-check a guy in a loony bin about how he saw Obama smoke weed with Elvis a few weeks ago?"

- "Photoshopped? What the hell does that mean? You really want me to believe this isn't Obama's actual face and actual dragon body? I always said he breathes fire and this is proof!"

- "The hardest thing I've done in my entire career wasn't writing about my lies in this book; it was trying to remember all the lies I told. What was that thing George Bush said one time? That 'fool me once...' quote? Well, if it were me saying that, I would say, 'Fool you once, fool you who knows how many thousands of f**king times, shame on you!'"

In response to the upcoming book, Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch said, "Nothing makes for a great journalist like one that's lied to the public for a couple of decades and then has the decency to admit it all in this 975-page book. It'll only be a matter of time before a few other hosts from our network release similar books."

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...
