Ben Carson unveils radical domestic Middle East strategy

After receiving heated criticism due to his foreign policy adviser, Duane Clarridge, claiming the former neurosurgeon knew less about the Middle East than a puppy knows about calculus, Ben Carson outlined a new strategy in an attempt to quiet his detractors.

When I caught up with the GOP candidate and asked for him to elaborate on the matter, this is what he said:

"The Middle East is a very dangerous part of this country and we need to do everything in our power to remove its belt buckle, stab it several times, and make sure it does no further harm on our people. In order to do this and bring peace within the region, we need to go after two main groups: the radical Quakers and the Amish extremists. These terrorists reside all throughout the Middle East portion of the United States, from Pennsylvania to somewhere south of there, like maybe Maine or Hawaii. Once we root out the masterminds of these two terrorist groups, you know, the head Quakers and Amishites, we can again feel safe in this great nation. That's all I have for now. I just felt the need to prove my adviser and critics wrong once again. Now I must be going to do my daily eye-opening exercises. I reached an all-time high of five yesterday. Hopefully I can make that six today."

When I asked an Amish couple in a horse & buggy about Mr. Carson's statements, they simply suggested I lay off the drugs.

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
