Stoner Jeb's new campaign slogan

Former Florida governor and current Republican candidate Jeb Bush recently received a heap of criticism for his response to the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, as he said, "Stuff happens..." Being one of the few Republican candidates to honestly admit smoking marijuana previously, Jeb decided to take his gaffe, run with it, and become the hippy candidate of the Republican Party. Just watch his new ad as it appears the former Florida governor is smoking a fake joint:

"Life... Every day... Whether you're drinking coffee, taking a shower, driving to work, or getting shot at school, stuff happens, man. Stuff is happening to you; stuff is happening to me; stuff is happening to everybody. Stuff even happens to people after they die, because like, they're dead, but not really, because their spirit lives on or something. So, I mean, if you're ever driving to work and a tire goes out, don't try to fix it or get anyone else to fix it; just shrug your shoulders, say, 'Stuff happens,' and it'll just fix itself. Kind of like gun violence, poverty, homelessness, healthcare, mental illness, terrorism, equality, and all that, stuff happens, so if we don't try to fix anything, it'll fix itself, you know? So, just know, if you elect me for president, good stuff is going to happen, bad stuff, really weird stuff, but at the end of it all, I'm going to look you in the eyes and just say the following two words: 'Stuff happens...' Because yeah, it's like true and stuff. Far out, man."

It should be noted that shortly after this ad initially aired, all former members of the band Grateful Dead, as well as all current and former members of the band Phish, asked Jeb Bush to refrain from playing any of their songs at his rallies. Cheech and Chong also said they'd be unwilling to be guest speakers for Jeb during his campaign.

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...
