South Carolina state Senator Lee Bright's last name is quite misleading

Approximately 3 weeks after white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-Americans at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, South Carolina lawmakers finally debated whether or not to remove the Confederate flag from the state Capitol today.

How did the festivities begin? With Republican state Senator Lee Bright going on a crazy rant which could very well land him in the loony bin for at least 24 hours, of course. It went a little something like this:

"I watch the White House be lit up in the abomination colors! It is time for the church to rise up... Romans chapter 1 is clear, the Bible is clear. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and they are under assault by men in black robes who were not elected by you. ... Our governor called us in to deal with the flag that sits out front, let's deal with the national sin that we face today! We talk about abortion but this gay marriage thing, I believe will be one nation gone under like President Reagan said. If we're not one nation under God, we'll be one nation gone under. And to sanctify deviant behavior from five judges, it's time for us to make our stand, church! It's time to make our stand and we're not doing it. We can rally together and talk about a flag all we want but the devil is taking control of this land and we're not stopping him! Now, I believe that the Christ teaches us to love the homosexual, but he also teaches us to stand in the gap against sin. And we need to make our stand. I know how people of all colors feel about this. Let's find some way to deal with marriage. If we're not going to find some way to deal with marriage like our forefathers did or push back against a tyrannical government like the founders of this nation did, let's at least not put these citizens in South Carolina in a position where they've got to choose between their faith and their jobs."

Yes, when debating about whether or not to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state Capitol, Lee Bright ranted about homosexuality, the legalization of gay marriage in particular. Like I said, his last name is quite misleading. Lee Loony, Lee Douche, Lee Insanity, or Lee Nutty would have been much more fitting. Well, given this crazy rant, I imagine Lee (not so) Bright would make these statements when asked to debate the following topics:

Subject: The designated hitter rule in baseball

Bright: "When I hear the word designated hitter, seven words immediately come to mind: Global warming hoax! I could say more, but I don't think any more needs to be said!"


Subject: Twitter

Bright: "No, I don't do Tweeter, just like I don't do abortions! Planned Parenthood tweets about abortions all the time and that just ain't right! I don't like Planned Parenthood, don't like abortions, and don't like Tweeter!"


Subject: Rap music

Bright: "The only people that speak as fast as rappers are those illegal immigrant Mexican people - you know, them and their Spanglish! They're stealing jobs away from good hard-working people like you and me! Fact!"


Subject: Porn

Bright: "Yeah, I went to high school porn. That was one of the best days of my life! Sometimes I wish I could travel back in time and go do the porn thing every day!"


Subject: Christianity

Bright: "I'll put this as simply as I can: Providing equal marriage rights for gay couples is tyranny, but forcing the Christian religion down the throats everyone in this country is equality!"


No, Lee Bright he is not...

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...
