Jeff Sessions cannot recall what he had for breakfast 5 minutes ago

Right after Attorney General Jeff Sessions exited the Oval Office following a breakfast date with President Donald Trump, I caught up with the AG and engaged in the following back and forth with him:

Excuse me, excuse me, sir! Would you mind answering a couple questions?

Sessions: "Oh golly, gee whiz, oh my. Yeah, I guess. Shucks."

So, what did you and the president discuss over breakfast this morning?

Sessions: "You know, a lil bit of this, a lil bit of that, a lil bit of the other. You know how it goes."

No, not really, which is why I asked the question. Specifically, what did the two of you discuss this morning?

Sessions: "Big, important things, I mean, like really big and really important."

Okay, one more question....

Sessions: "You said it was going to be two questions..."

Well, you didn't really answer either of my first two, so I think it's only fair to answer a third.

Sessions: "Fine. Alright then. Go ahead."

What did you and the president eat for breakfast this morning?

Sessions: "You know what? I cannot recall what we ate. I'd have to rack my brain to remember."

You just ate, what, five minutes ago?

Sessions: "Somethin' like that"

So what did you eat? Do you really expect me to believe you can't remember what you ate five minutes ago?

Sessions: "Look, the president and I ate in private and I don't feel it's appropriate to share what it is we ate."

Are you citing executive privilege here, with regard to what you ate for breakfast with the president?

Sessions: "No, of course not! Only the president can do that! But I think it's only fair to let him know about the question and ask if he wants to do the executive privilege thing before I answer."

So you're refusing to answer the question, not because of executive privilege, but the possibility of executive privilege? Wouldn't that then mean you could stay silent for the rest of Trump's tenure due to the possibility he could cite executive privilege?

Sessions: "Could you say that again? I'm not sure I understand the question. Sorry."

Did you eat eggs?

Sessions: "I cannot recall."

How about pancakes? Did you have pancakes?

Sessions: "I cannot recall."

Bacon? French toast? Lucky Charms cereal?

Sessions: "I cannot recall."

Do you like any of the foods I just listed?

Sessions: "Perhaps, maybe, gee, I don't know. I guess, maybe, sometimes, possibly."

Can you give me a straight answer about anything?

Sessions: "I might have to get back to you on that."

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...
