Welcome to I Feel Snitty, episode 122, entitled, “Choppers Without Filters.” I’m your host, Craig Rozniecki.

 

In the past week, the Republican-led Arizona House passed a bill to provide business owners the right to deny any city or state regulations on mask-wearing at their establishments. Joseph Chaplik, the bill’s sponsor, had this to say about it:

 

“HIV was going to wipe our global destruction of human bodies with AIDS. We heard about that in the ‘80s, yet no masks were required.”

 

This may very well be the stupidest anti-mask argument I’ve heard yet. AIDS isn’t transferred via air or water, but through bodily fluids. You’ll never hear the following back-and-forth:

 

“Here, I’ll blow you a kiss.”

 

“No thanks. I don’t want AIDS.”

 

Given this rationale, I thought we could play a game. Let’s look at several different situations and conditions and apply Douche Chaplik’s if-masks-don’t-work-for-everything-they-work-for-nothing card.

 

Pregnancy (a conversation between a boyfriend and girlfriend)

Girlfriend: “I have something I need to tell you.”

 

Boyfriend: “Oh, oh. What’s up?”

 

Girlfriend: “I’m pregnant.”

 

Boyfriend: “What the hell? How could that happen?”

 

Girlfriend: “I don’t know. I just don’t know.”

 

Boyfriend: “Are you sure it’s mine?”

 

Girlfriend: “Of course it is! How dare you!”

 

Boyfriend: “Hey, hey, calm down. I just don’t know how it happened. I’ve always used protection with you.”

 

Girlfriend: “Yes, yes, I know.”

 

Boyfriend: “Magnums, every single time!”

 

Girlfriend: “That’s what you said.”

 

Boyfriend: “Oh, stop it! That shit covered up my entire face! There’s no way I could’ve gotten you pregnant!”

 

 

Gunshot to the head (a conversation from a couple of cops)

Cop #1: “Okay, so catch me up. What happened?”

 

Cop #2: “The victim walked out of this convenience store over here. Someone apparently yelled, ‘Stop or my mom will shoot!’ The victim didn’t stop. He kept inching closer and closer to the voice, until the firearm was literally touching his forehead. The shooter then fired, and that was it. Game over.”

 

Cop #1: “Did he have a seatbelt on or anything?”

 

Cop #2: “No, as you can see, sir, this happened outside of his vehicle. Face-to-face, just outside of this convenience store.”

 

Cop #1: “Well, shit, man. You know, it’s a shame.”

 

Cop #2: “What’s a shame, sir?”

 

Cop #1: “He wasn’t wearing a mask.”

 

 

Border wall (spoken by Trump)

“We’re gonna build a big, beautiful mask along our Southern border and make the cloth people pay for it. This will be the most powerful cloth known to man – with a thread-count that’s a number you don’t even know, believe me.”

 

 

Breast cancer (spoken by a modern-day Republican)

“Look, bras are basically masks for the boobs, right? So, if women wear bras, why do they still get breast cancer? Makes you think, doesn’t it?”

 

 

Joseph Chaplik

If we placed a mask over the Arizona Representative’s mouth, he’d still manage to sound stupid over social media.

 

 

So, there we have it – proof that since masks don’t work for everything, they work for nothing. Perhaps we can tell Chaplik and his ilk the same thing with regard to their manhoods and pass legislation to suggest this: If your penises don’t work for everything, they work for nothing. Yeah, I have a feeling they’d provide a starkly different reaction, and ironically enough, feel the need to protect their mini-mes with steel masks.

 

 

That’s it for today’s episode. I’ll see you again next week. Until then, you can check me out on Podbean, Twitter, Amazon, and Blogger. This has been I Feel Snitty, with Craig Rozniecki. Take care.

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...
