Louie Gohmert proposes nun-space-colony bill

In an attempt to prove that homosexuals are worthless components to a functioning society, Texas Representative Louie Gohmert proposed what he termed "The Nun Space Colony" bill earlier this week, elaborating on the matter by saying this on the House floor:

"You know that Matt Damon movie, The Bourne Martian Identity Theory? That was possibly based on a future true story. So what if that future true story becomes, you know, true? Are we gonna send a bunch of the gays to a space colony to save mankind? If that happened, we'd all go extinct, am I right or am I right? So, what I'm going to do today, so we never get ourselves in that kind of situation, is propose a bill which will prevent the gays from trying to save mankind because they can't save mankind. With this bill, if that Good Martian Hunting movie comes to life, what we're going to do is send 40 nuns to a space colony to save everyone. Sure, these nuns may not be able to reproduce or whatever, but unlike the gays, God will be on their side, so we'll have nothing to worry about. Come on, people! Vote for my 'Nun Space Colony' bill, so that, in case of that Martian Supremacy movie becoming a reality, we wind up with Saving Private Martian and not Martian Under Fire!"

In response, Matt Damon has started the send-Louie-Gohmert-to-space petition, which has already received 250 million signatures in its first 24 hours. Yes, his wife Kathy and their three daughters Sarah, Katy, and Caroline are among the 250 million.

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
