Dotard Dershowitz Strikes Again!

Former respected attorney and current Trump ass-kisser, Alan Dershowitz, recently made his thoughts known on Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and his family's $250 million lawsuit against The Washington Post for libel. Speaking on Hill.TV's Rising, Dershowitz said the following:

"I think they have a reasonable case, I mean the world was guilty of libel. These poor kids seemed to be doing exactly the right thing, and then suddenly because they are thought to be white, privileged kids, suddenly everyone's ganging up on them. I'd be interested to see how the case unfolds. I mean they're asking for a lot of money, I don't think that's going to be taken too seriously. But I do think that they have a significant case and it will be interesting to see how the Post defends against their reporting in the case. It's important to air this issue out in the public, and one of the functions that a suit like this has is to lay it all out in the public. The media has to be responsible for their reporting particularly when you have kids who have no ability generally to defend themselves against media reporting."

Due to this statement alone, I think Alan can now accurately be referred to as Dotard Dershowitz. First off, he starts his spiel with, "I think they have a reasonable case," but then later contends that "...they're asking for a lot of money, I don't think that's going to be taken too seriously." So, in essence, Dershowitz is saying, "The Sandmann's have a reasonable case that probably shouldn't be taken too seriously, therefore making it unreasonable." Okay then...

Then, after a single comma, Dershowitz goes on to suggest, "I mean the world was guilty of libel." So, according to him, every single person in the entire world was guilty of libel against Nick Sandmann and the rest of the Covington Catholic High School students whom were part of the well-documented confrontation. This then means Alan Dershowitz himself is guilty of libel. How idiotic is that? He's admitting to a crime. Oh, but as he'll utter in defense, "I didn't mean that literally." No, of course not, but how can you claim everyone was guilty of libel, not really mean it, and then go on to declare, of all the guilty parties, The Washington Post should be singled out? It'll be interesting to see Dershowitz's opinions on this subject moving forward to see if they "evolve" or stay consistent. If he stays true to his word, regardless of whom Sandmann and company try to sue, he'll respond to the lawsuit with, "I think they have a reasonable case, I mean the world was guilty of libel." It'll be even more interesting if a lawsuit is brought against him. "Mr. Dershowitz, you did say everyone was guilty of libel. Are you not someone?" Well, in my opinion he's not, so perhaps he'll have an argument, but I digress...

What bugged me the most about his commentary was the next line: "These poor kids seemed to be doing exactly the right thing, and then suddenly because they are thought to be white, privileged kids, suddenly everyone's ganging up on them." Seriously, in Black History Month of all months, Dershowitz wants to play the reverse-racism card and ask that we all pity "white, privileged kids"? Give me a frickin' break... Not only that, but where does he get the idea that these kids were "doing exactly the right thing"? Kids mocking Native Americans, at least one of whom happens to be a veteran, after attending a rally which supported stripping women of rights over their own bodies? To me, that sentiment reads, "These poor sexist, racist kids seemed to be doing exactly the right thing..."

As usual anymore, Dotard Dershowitz said exactly the wrong thing.

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...
