Jeb's ever-changing campaign slogan

The Jeb Bush presidential campaign has been anything but a smooth one. It started off with the former Florida governor showing a great deal of enthusiasm, which was even displayed in his name via bumper stickers: "Jeb!" As his poll numbers started dropping, however, so too did the exclamation point from his first name. Unfortunately for him, the downward trend continued, so he and his campaign team attempted to change the tide by coming up with a new slogan: "Jeb Can Fix It!" Since the slogan never caught on and resulted in more sarcastic memes than enthusiastic thumbs up, Jeb, in a last ditch effort, decided to share yet another campaign slogan change in the following ad: 

"Hi, I'm Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, younger brother of George W., and hopefully your next president. We've gone through a lot throughout this campaign. I went from Jeb! to Jeb, and now, my fellow Americans, I want to be 100% honest with you and tell you that I'm changing my slogan from 'Jeb Can Fix It!' to 'Jeb Might Be Able to Fix Something, Possibly, Maybe, But Probably Not...' Might I be able to fix things? I don't know, maybe. But, I mean, can I fix other things? Definitely not. There are things I can probably fix, others which are nearly impossible to fix, and things which don't really need fixing at all. I can fix unfinished frozen meals, dusty furniture, and unfolded clothes sometimes, but I probably won't be able to fix the economy, war, gun violence, or anything else of great importance to the country at large. One thing I know that needs fixing, though, is my poll numbers, and that's when all of you come in. Please, help me, Jeb Bush, try to fix things I already know I won't be able to fix for you as your next president. Thank you. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America."

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...
