How Tariff Trump goes about his day...

Trump's day, in a nutshell...

5:30 am: "I'm gonna tariff the sh*t outta everybody and their moms."

6:30 am: "Okay, maybe not the moms, because some of them might be 10s, and then there might be a couple of 4s, which makes a 10."

7:30 am: "Wait, but tariffs are the best things ever created, so moms would love it, so yeah, I'm gonna tariff them too."

8:30 am: "Elon wants to be the head of DOTE (Department of Tariff Efficiency). Whatever, it'll keep the weirdo busy."

9:30 am: "Tariffs are gonna save people so much money. This is going to be brilliant. The more zeroes, the more savings. I'm gonna tariff all 3 countries in the world 1,000,000,000,000,000%. We're all gonna be rich!"

10:30 am: "Okay, I'm being told tariffs might actually cost people money, so I'm gonna lower the increase to just 1,000,000%."

11:30 am: "Psych! No tariffs! That one country offered me a 12-foot life-size poster of me. Greatest deal ever!"

12:30 pm: "Some people are saying the poster isn't actually life-size. Should I put tariffs back on the table? To tariff or not to tariff? That is the answer."

1:30 pm: "Closing my eyes; reaching into ushanka #1. Russia? I'm not doing that. Let's try this again. Nipple. Nipple? That's a country? Nepal, Nipple, I don't know. Okay, reaching into ushanka #2. 95%. Lastly, reaching into ushanka #3. Nipple clamps. Okay, so I'm going to tariff the country of Nipple 95% on nipple clamps."

2:30 pm: "I wonder what language the people of Nipple speak. Nipplish? Nipplese? Nipian? Hey, Siri, what language do Nipples speak?"

3:30 pm: "Elon's jumping around, repeatedly shouting, 'Tariffs rule!' Must be 3:30."

4:30 pm: "I'm gonna tariff water. Nobody uses the stuff anyway. I know I don't. Never drank the stuff; I haven't swum since the incident with the bluegill; and the last time I showered was in 'Nam."

5:30 pm: "Too soon for the water tariffs, I'm told. I guess the tariffs have to be filtered first, or something."

6:30 pm: "Someone just tweeted the water is now going to retaliate with a tariff against me. Can they even do that? Must be true. The person has a blue check next to their name, which is UnRealParodyAccountGotYouSuckas."

7:30 pm: "A coffee-boy I once paid to cover up millions more felonies just told me to look up the word 'tariff' in the dictionary. Where did I put that thing? Do I have one? What even is it?"

8:30 pm: "Okay, the 'coffee-boy' gave it to me. How do you even spell the stupid word? 'Tear-if,' right? It has to be! This dictionary is stupid!"

9:30 pm: "What if I tariff one country 100% and another country 1,000%? That would mean I tariff both countries 100,000%! I love math!"

10:30 pm: "F*ck it! No tariffs! I hate tariffs! Tariffs suck harder than Pete (Hegseth) doing breathalyzers!"

11:30 pm: "No, check that, I love tariffs! They're the greatest thing since Dr. (Ben) Carson's motivational speeches!"

12:30: "Such a productive day - probably the most productive day in recorded history. Now it's time to go to bed. Counting tariffs always seems to help."

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...
