Katrina Pierson gives slavery two thumbs up!

I was beginning to wonder where former Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson had gone. Shortly after she began speaking to Fox News's Ainsley Earhardt and Wendy Osefo on Fox & Friends this morning, I remembered why she was likely replaced in the first place. Here's part of their back-and-forth:

Pierson: "It (slavery) absolutely deserves a place, because bad history is still good history for this country --"

Osefo: "Slavery is good history?"

Pierson: "--considering where we are today, where we are today. Absolutely."

Osefo: "Slavery is good history? Absolutely. Oh, wow."

Pierson: "During those times, during those times -- think about this for a second. Where would we be today if not for that Civil War? How would our children even know --"

Osefo: "Where would we be without slavery? Are you serious? Do you hear what you're saying?"

Pierson: "How would our children even know how special and how wonderful this country is that we can even be having this discussion today?"

Osefo: "How special slavery is? You know how many people died?"

...and on they went...

Given her rationale for slavery, expect Ms. Pierson to utter the following lines at some point in the future (if she hasn't already):

You know what? I can't even satirize this. Katrina Pierson's despicable comments speak for themselves. Where would we be without slavery? I don't know, just ask the slaves. If Katrina Pierson sees slavery as a good part of American history, I can only imagine what she views as bad history in this country...

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...
