What if Trump were a child?

Die-hard Trump supporters befuddle me to no end. Let's think about this for a moment here. Most of these individuals identify as "Christian," are big into "family values," and claim to vote Republican for their children's well-being and futures. It's also common to hear them berate celebrities for not being good role models to their kids. Yet here they are steadfast in their support for Donald Trump, a man who:

- Has been married three times

- Has cheated on all three of his wives

- Has a history of making lewd comments toward women

- Has allegedly sexually harassed/assaulted 20+ women

- According to Pulitzer Prize-winning site Politifact, lies approximately 69% of the time, while telling the truth just 17% of the time

- Has a history of making discriminatory remarks against minorities of all stripes

- Has a tendency to get angry

- Has trouble taking responsibility for his own actions, often casting blame elsewhere

- Seems to believe that money can buy anything, even the law

- Seems to collect lawsuits like unprotected nympho prostitutes collect herpes

So, let me get this straight, these die-hard Trump supporters, who want adults to be good role models for their kids, who support family values, and who call themselves Christian, love this man and want him to be the leader, to be the face of this country? What if their children acted like he did? What would their reaction be if their kids made discriminatory remarks towards minorities? What would their reaction be their sons viewed and talked about women like they were sexual objects? How would they react if they caught their children lying almost 3 out of 4 times they opened their mouths? What would they do if their kids often got angry or always blamed others for their mistakes? If their kids thought they could get away with anything, how would they handle that? My guess is they wouldn't support such behavior; they'd punish their kids to teach them a lesson; they may even go so far as to get their kids help either through medication or counseling. So, why on earth do these same individuals feel, while it's wrong for a young person to act like an angry spoiled hateful child, it's perfectly alright for an adult act in this manner? While, with help, many such kids can grow up to be fine young adults, there's less chance of a 70-year-old man similarly evolving as there is for Danny DeVito to wake up tomorrow as Arnold Schwarzenegger. Just a word of advice for such die-hard Trumpsters, if you want your children to grow up to be mature, respectful adults, don't elect an angry spoiled hateful child as president.

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...
