Contrary to what Comey said, Donald Trump does not have "above-average" intelligence

One of the most surprising quotes from James Comey's interview on ABC last night was when he contended that Donald Trump has "above-average intelligence." After making some quips about the remark on Twitter, a fellow progressive defended Comey, saying, "Trump would have to be smart to dupe so many people!"

Okay, let's just get this out of the way - Donald Trump is not smart. A rich man does not make a smart man. The Donald was born into money, was always surrounded by people who knew money, and as a result, guess what? The guy has money. Also, it doesn't take a genius to use bullsh*t to persuade another to also believe bullsh*t. It has been scientifically proven that the earth is round. Even so, there are people who deny this fact and believe it to be flat. So if one flat-earther convinces another to be a flat-earther, can other be constituted as smart? I don't think so. It's just one idiot persuading another to hop on the idiot train.

Let's review the president's unprecedented intellect:

- He doesn't like to read. Some have even questioned if he's fully literate.

- I have not once heard him admit to being wrong.

- The guy has the intellectual curiosity of a dead sloth.

- He has a 4th-grade vocabulary.

- The man lies approximately 70% of the time and only tells the truth about 15% of the time (15% are graded as half-true/half-false).

- He consistently uses words such as: Covfefe, unpresidented, bigly, tapp phones, W.H. council, to great, attacker, Denmakr, hearby/here by, our deepest apologizes, Secretary of Educatuon, Honered to serve, etc.

Need I continue? Donald Trump is uneducated, unwilling to learn, rarely tells or even knows the truth, and may not even pass a 4th-grade vocabulary test. These are not signs of a man who has above-average intelligence, let alone signs of a man who is "smart." Donald Trump may be a lot of things, but being intelligent isn't one of them.

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...
