The GOP candidates make their debate demands

Enraged that the CNBC moderators from a recent debate inquired about mistakes, criticisms, and inconsistencies they've made in their pasts, the 14 Republican presidential hopefuls teamed up with the party's top lawyer, Ben Ginsberg, to provide several demands the moderators must abide in all subsequent debates. Each of the 14 candidates provided one demand a piece. Here is the official list of those very demands:

George Pataki: "I demand to never again be asked gotcha questions about what my favorite smartphone app is."

Bobby Jindal: "I demand we start each debate with a prayer to God that we can repeal the totalitarian life-saving Obamacare!"

Rick Santorum: "I demand being allowed to sing hymns if we're ever approached with a question about gay stuff."

Lindsey Graham: "I do demand that the male moderators not be too demanding, because it kind of turns me on."

John Kasich: "I demand the moderators to keep asking tough questions to help show how crazy the rest of these unmedicated loony-bin breakouts are!"

Rand Paul: "I demand enough time during commercial breaks to fix my Chia-Pet hair."

Mike Huckabee: "I demand that it be permitted for Kim Davis to give me a back, neck, shoulders, and head massage throughout the proceedings."

Chris Christie: "I demand for it to be alright for my, um, bodyguards, to be at my side during the debate. This includes: Tony, Tommy, Johnny, Donny, Timmy, Jimmy, and Gus."

Carly Fiorina: "I demand no follow-up questions, fact-checking, nor any questions that involve specifics, especially numbers."

Jeb Bush: "I demand, whenever you call on me to answer one of your questions, you refer to me as, 'Jeb! Mr. Fix It Guy.'"

Ted Cruz: "I demand being allowed to read Dr. Seuss books if a question ever makes me angry."

Marco Rubio: "I demand an unlimited supply of water bottles, towels, and softball questions."

Ben Carson: "I demand not to be woken up if I fall asleep."

Donald Trump: "I demand not to be booed if I say things like, 'Gays are kind of queer,' "Women are bitches,' or 'Mexicans are Taco Bell rapist janitors,' especially if I end one of those facts with the words, 'No offense.'"

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...
