Donald Trump apparently knows not what he says...

Even with all the crazy things he's said in the past, 2016 Republican front-runner Donald Trump still continues to amaze me with the words which emanate from his mouth.

In a recent Rolling Stone article regarding Trump, when the businessman saw fellow GOP candidate Carly Fiorina on television, he remarked, "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president. I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

After receiving the inevitable backlash following the article's publication, Trump responded by saying the following to CNN's Chris Cuomo on New Day:

"I'm not talking about her looks. I'm talking about her persona."

That's right. Let's look at that again, shall we?

Trump's initial comment: "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president. I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

Trump's follow-up comment: "I'm not talking about her looks. I'm talking about her persona."

So, I guess Trump temporarily mistook the words face and persona for one another, eh? When Ms. Fiorina appeared on the television, what Trump really meant to say was, "Look at that persona! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the persona of our next president. I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"

Riiight...

Given that explanation, expect Donald Trump to make these comments and follow-up statements in the coming weeks and months:


Initial comment: "That Mexican looks creepy, but what else is new?"

Follow-up comment: "Come on, do you really think I meant it like that? Are you really that stupid? What I was really saying was I know this Mexican dude who has the last name Creepy and it just reminded me of him. That's it; that's all. Got it? Understand? Capisce-o?"


Initial comment: "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. Wait, I take that back, all Muslims are terrorists."

Follow-up comment: "My quote was taken completely out of context. One of my best friends is Muslim. His name is something like Mohammed Abdul Allah Jaboo Daboo Doodah. I don't know; I'll have to ask him again. Great guy, great guy, and no, not a terrorist. So, I mean, there's at least one that's not."


Initial comment: "Holy sh*t; she's fat!"

Follow-up comment: "Look, you losers, I wasn't talking about her weight, her figure, her whatever; I was talking about the size of her heart and brain and sh*t."

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...
