Birther Sean Hannity claims birther Donald Trump is getting birther-ized

Apparently Sean Hannity knows similes like Motley Crue groupies know abstinence, for he recently said this:

"Democrats, members of the destroy-Trump media will not stop pushing this phony Russia-Trump collusion narrative despite no evidence. This has now become, like, Russia-Trump conspiracy, birther conspiracies, you know? Sort of truthers." 

No, they're not alike at all actually. It's not even an apples-and-oranges argument. It's more like an apples-and-Old-Country-Buffet argument. Sean Hannity, Donald Trump and other birthers felt that then President Barack Obama's birth certificate was forged. That claim was debunked time and time again, yet they still had doubts about its authenticity. There was never any FBI investigation on whether or not Obama was a legalized citizen of this country. There were never any hearings held by the Senate Intelligence Committee, where Obama Cabinet appointees were inquired about whether or not they had heard anything regarding the debunked claim that the former president had been born in Kenya. A special counsel was never appointed to delve deeper into the mystery that was Barack Obama's birth certificate. There was never serious chatter about possibly impeaching Obama due to the debunked theory that he was not born in this country. President Obama showcased his birth certificate; it was proven to not have been a forgery; and Hawaii even further proved this point by displaying the president's birth in a state newspaper. Like Keyser Soze would say, "...and like that, it (the conspiracy theory) was gone..."

That's not the case with Russiagate. It'd be a more accurate statement to say Russiagate is the antithesis of birtherism than to say the two are in any way similar. The FBI has gotten involved. The Senate Intelligence Committee has held hearings. A special counsel has been appointed. Trump and the rest of his inner-circle have hired lawyers. Donald Trump's personal lawyer has even hired an attorney. From the sounds of it, the investigation is just starting. So no, Mr. Hannity, Russiagate isn't like birther conspiracies. If anything, Russiagate is similar to Watergate, whereas birtherism is similar to me claiming Sean Hannity used to be a woman who went by the name Madea Spamalot. Like I said at the outset, Sean Hannity knows similes like Charlie Sheen knows sobriety.

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...
