Another discussion with a Trumper...

It appears I'm a MAGA-magnet this week. I was approached by another Trumper last night. Here was the conversation:

Him: "Are you for Trump?"
Me: No
Him: "Oh, so you're a libturd?"
Me: Sure
Him: "How old are you?"
Me: 43
Him: "Oh, well, you still have years to evolve."
Me: What? To be MAGA? That'd be 'devolve.'
Him: "What's better now than it was 4 years ago? What about the border?"
Me: Actually, our undocumented-immigrant numbers have been incredibly consistent since around 2005, I believe.
Him: "What about now? Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are being flown here every day."
Me: That's not true.
Him: "Well, what's Biden done to help? He has an open-border policy."
Me: No, he doesn't. He fought for a bipartisan border-security bill, which was authored by a conservative Republican. Who killed it? Donald Trump, because he was afraid the passage and signage of it would hurt him politically.
Him: "That's BS."
Me: It's the truth. Feel free to fact-check me on it. I actually encourage you to do so.
Him: "What about violence in cities like Chicago? Shootings happen there all the time. How are we safer under Democrats?"
Me: Actually, and again, I encourage you to fact-check me, violent crime and gun violence increased on Trump's watch and have decreased under Biden. Gun reform works.
Him: "BS"
Me: Fact-check me. Go ahead. I'll wait.
Him: "What about the Obama crisis?"
Me: What Obama crisis?
Him: "His recession in 2008"
Me: He wasn't President in 2008.
Him: "Yes he was."
Me: No. He was elected in 2008. He became President in 2009.
Him: "Semantics"
Me: No, you can't blame a President for something which happened before he was President. That'd be like me blaming Ronald Reagan for the Great Depression.
Him: "Whatever. It was the Democrats - Democratic Presidents who caused the recession."
Me: When the recession hit, a Democrat hadn't been in the White House in 7-8 years.
Him: "Whatever. Are you on welfare?"
Me: Not that it's any of your business, but no.
Him: "What about that crazy abortion sh*t?"
Me: What about it?
Him: "It's just wrong. It's murder and your party supports it, even after birth."
Me: Abortion after murder? Yeah, that's not a thing.
Him: "Yeah, it is!"
Me: No, it's not. How would that work exactly? After a baby is born, how is an abortion possible?
Him: "I don't know; it just is!"
Me: Let me guess; you're not a doctor. Regardless, as men, what business is it of ours to decide what women can and cannot do with their bodies?
Him: "Whatever. Wanna arm wrestle?"
Me: Seriously?
Him: "Yeah, seriously"
His wife: "Please stop"

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...
