GOP questions Obama's birth certificate, claims Israel's Netanyahu is their real president

In an odd move made by the Republican Party, following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress on Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner made the following announcement:

"This speech, this day will go down in the history books, because on this day we finally discovered who our real president is, and that's my friend, Bibi Netanyahu!"

The announcement came a little over six years after President Barack Obama was sworn into the Oval Office and a little over three minutes after a Republican had last said, "We all know you're from Kenya, Obama! Show us your birth certificate again! The real one this time and not all those fake other ones!"

Nationwide, Republicans applauded the big announcement, with some of the better known ones saying this: 

- "Bibi is a type of gun and I like guns, so I like Bibi Netanyahu." - musician Ted Nugent

- "I've said it before and I'll say it again, Barack Obama doesn't love America. You know who does? Benjamin Netanyahu. Bibi loves this country just about as much as I love my cousins!" - former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani

- "Something always seemed foreign about Obama, but that's certainly not the case with the dude from Israel!" - Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson

The Republican National Committee joined the celebration, as they released this statement: 

"For as much as we stand by the fact we're the party of freedom and democracy, and for as much as we believe racism is over in this country, we'd much rather have an American-looking foreigner than a foreign-looking American as president of this country - the United States of America - the greatest country in the history of the world!"

In response to all of this, President Obama said his next order of business is to convince Congress to strengthen educational standards in the subject of geography all across the country. At last check, Congressional Republicans were looking up the word "geography" in the dictionary.

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...
