WTF kind of a speech was that?!?

While I refused to watch it live on television, I did watch Donald Trump's Oval Office address later in the evening online, as well as the Democratic response. My first thought was, "WTF was that!?!?"

The man was more monotone than a sleep-talking Ben Stein giving an impression of a robot. He spoke more slowly than a sloth nicknamed Ben Carson. Trump snorted more than a coke-addict, nicknamed Sniffles, with a sinus infection. Also, it's not like he said anything new. He repeated the same old talking points (lies) he's been uttering since he was 12: "We need to build a wall;" "It's about national security;" "Lots of drugs coming in;" "The shutdown is the Democrats' fault;" etc. If I wanted to watch reruns, I'd tune into TBS.

I'm not a fan of hyperbole, but this isn't hyperbole; it's the truth. Last night's Oval Office address was the worst, most boring, least persuasive speech I've ever seen. President Deal-Maker is obviously a con-man, for he's worse at making deals than Brett Kavanaugh is of saying no to boofing.

  1. I'm seriously thinking that if we locked Snortle-Dee and Snortle-Dum in the same room, they could literally sniffle all the oxygen out of said room. We'll be sure to mark this occasion down in that special calendar, somewhere between beer and boofing...
    Great post, and yay :)

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...
