#GOPTaxBillScam

I had some fun with the trending hashtag #GOPTaxBillScam on Twitter yesterday. Here are my posts, ordered from the most popular to the least popular (all my tweets can be seen here - https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):

1) So what did you accomplish this year?
GOP: "We passed a bill which only 33% of people support, that aids the 1% who don't need help, strips healthcare from those who need it most, and raises the deficit, bigly. If that's not winning, we don't know what is!"

2) GOP: "This Christmas, we ask the middle- and lower-classes to wait under the kitchen table at dinner. Don't worry. Whether or not we give you warm food or sufficient amounts, we'll feed you eventually. We're bound to drop something here or there, right? Merry Christmas!"

3) GOP: "Trickle-down economics helped increase the pay gap to the widest its been since the Great Depression, which led to the Great Recession. So yeah, let's do that again. It's common sense!"

4) The media needs to cut it out with labeling the tax bill as a win for Trump, as a win for 1% is a loss for 99%, and unless you majored in mathematics at Trump University, 99 > 1.

5) Trump: "Signing something that nobody likes is my biggest achievement, folks. You people might not like me now and might not like this bill, but because of this bill you don't like, you'll like me more, because, you know, logic."

6) Trickle-down economics: To attempt to make hand-me-down clothes appealing, promise them around December 25th of every year, and deliver coal instead.

7) GOP: "We may already own more cars than you and really only need one, but we're going to give ourselves a couple more. This isn't about us; it's about you. We'll let you take the things out every now and again, even though we'll always be driving them."

8) GOP meeting: "Let's give the people a few extra bucks next year to try and prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress in the midterms. Then years down the line, when people have forgotten who passed the bill, it'll hurt many families big league."

9) Trump: "Even the dossier says trickle-down works! I'm not admitting nothin'; I'm just sayin' ...and yes, it's true, like big league!"

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...
