30% of Republicans want to bomb a fictional place

Public Policy Polling (PPP) released an interesting finding today. It's funny; just yesterday I wrote about how sick and tired I was with the right's paranoid let's-bomb-them-all-before-they-bomb-us mentality. Well, according to PPP's latest finding, it does appear a decent percentage of Republicans would be in favor of bombing just about anything.

According to this poll, it found that 30% of Republicans would be in favor of bombing Agrabah - a fictional city in Disney's Aladdin. Here's how the complete poll numbers to that question break down by party:

Q: "Would you be in favor of bombing Agrabah?"

Republicans: 30% approve/13% disapprove (net +17%)

Democrats: 19% approve/36% disapprove (net -17%)

No, I'm not making up those numbers... Due to the results of this poll, expect to see the following poll results at some point in the future:

- 78% of Republicans don't feel the Hunchback of Notre Dame's healthcare plan should include chiropractics

- 99% believe Beauty and the Beast is bestiality porn and should be banned worldwide

- 94% don't feel at all sorry for The Little Mermaid due to water contaminants

- 64% of Republicans believe that while Lady should be free to do as she pleases, Tramp should be arrested

- 51% believe Mickey Mouse is a homosexual mob boss ready to come after them at any moment and in more ways than one

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...
