Introducing the new Republican talking Barbie doll

In recent years, the Republican Party has been heavily criticized for waging a war against women, often times even being labeled as sexist for their views. Many in the party have spoken out against: equal pay for women, their reproductive rights, and contraception coverage in their employer-based healthcare plans, among other things. Having not won the women's vote since 1988 and with the 2016 election looming, the GOP recently unveiled a surprise to help them better appeal to potential women voters - the Republican talking Barbie doll.

The doll has: long blonde hair, blue eyes, teeth so white they appear to have never come into contact with food or drinks, an impossibly thin waistline, and breasts twice the size of her waist. She's wearing a short skirt which sports the Confederate flag; red, white, and blue heels; all the while holding an AK-47 in her right hand and a Bible in her left hand.

When a string is pulled from between her legs, the Republican talking barbie doll will utter one of these lines: 

- "Are you tired from your exhausting off-day, honey? Want me to make you a sandwich?"

- "Citizens United was the right thing to do! Corporations are people! You know how I know? Guess who my biggest crush is right now? No, not George Clooney. No, not even Ryan Gosling. It's Exxon Mobil! He's so hot!"

- "Go ahead and watch the game while I clean the house...8-months pregnant. Like you said last week, I need some exercise anyway."

- "I love guns, especially the small ones. I love any hard thing I can wrap one of my hands around that will go off quickly!"

- "Ask me anything and I'll say yes, even if it's that weird deal you told me about a while back, which included: Hot Tamales, a rubber band, maracas, and Sarah Palin."

When learning about this new item, the following conservatives made their voices heard about the matter:

- "Wow, is it hot in here or is it just her? If I were the Republican Ken doll, I'd be all over that!" - Mike Huckabee

- "From this day forward, you can't spell patriotism without Barbie." - Rick Perry

- "It's really too bad Carly Fiorina's face doesn't look like that, I mean, her persona." - Donald Trump

The Republican National Committee also released this statement on the matter: "We hope this proves once and for all that the Republican Party isn't out to attack women; we love and respect every sexy curve of women's bodies. We also hope it proves we're not sexist against women; we appreciate all the hard work they do inside the house with cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the kids - you know, what God made them for in the first place."

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...
