The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

I received the following comments on my VP-debate satire:  - "F’ing brilliant" - "Very good Craig 👍 👏👏 - but you do need to get out more 😂" - "lol, this was the best debate ever🤣🤣🤣🤣" - "Excellent" - "Craig gets it right." - "This is great! 😂" - "😂😂😂" The writing can be read at this link. -  https://thekind-heartedsmartaleck.blogspot.com/2024/09/walz-vs-weird-vice-presidential-debate.html

I received the following comments on a presidential-debate satire I wrote: - "This is hysterical…and at the same time, completely believable." - "Hilarious! Don't mute the mics! This is what you'd hear if they didn't, or close. Less coherent from Trump. I thoroughly enjoyed that" - "This is fantastic.  You hit the nail on the proverbial orange head😂😂😂" - "I needed a laugh. This delivered. #HarrisWalzBringHope" - "Bravo!" - "Too close to truth to be funny" - "Both hysterical and so close to reality it’s scary." - "Heh." - "You damned near made me laugh up a lung and pee my pants at the same time." - "Bravo" - "Read all the way to the end. 😂😂😂😂😂" - "😂🤣 cute" - "Did you post this in the morning so we’d laugh snort coffee out of our noses?!? Guess it was better than vodka! Thank you thank you! I needed this!" - "OMG... SNL couldn't...

Here's a lovely back-and-forth I've had with MAGA cultists over the past day. Me: I've now designed 11 patriotically hilarious anti-MAGA shirts. They can all be found and purchased here. - https://when-shirts-hit-the-fan.printify.me/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJRJMFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHUgO5oyCYpRybUu5UxGcIQa7ivX6qRqdTbDaz41p5_tVpq9CQYkW-VBk1Q_aem_t6MFTOP9_tuKpU4mW53dWg MAGA #1: "Can I get a Kamala Harris’s a moron and an unintelligent liar shirt too?" MAGA #2: "yeah I want one of those!" Me: You'll need to look elsewhere for that. I'd recommend checking out either MAGAProjection dot com, TrumpLied30573TimesInHisFirstTerm dot org, or InRussiaWeTrust dot gov. MAGA #1: "I’ll try. Funny how the democrats and Kamala lied about joes cognitive dysfunction? You are a party of terrorists burning tesla dealerships. Your party is pathetic and BTW you aren’t funny just poor." Me: Lots of projection in that response. Which demographic commits the most terrorist ac...

As I did with the presidential debate between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump, I thought I'd preview the upcoming Vice Presidential debate between Democratic running mate Tim Walz and Republican running mate JD Vance in a similar, satirical, perhaps even prescient manner. "Welcome to tonight's Vice Presidential debate. Alongside chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan, I'm Norah O'Donnell. Tonight, Ms. Brennan and I will ask Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance a series of questions, to give the American people a better idea of what they'll be voting for come November. Regardless of what the YouTube channel ImHighAFRightNowAndCanSeeThingsYouCant will later contend, neither individual on stage has been provided these questions beforehand, but please keep in mind, odds are quite high they have a general idea of what's to come. It's not like I'm going to be asking what the #1 single was on February 4t...

Whether it's just a strategy to temper expectations or goes beyond that, I've repeatedly witnessed Democrats, progressives, and liberals say, "Tuesday night's debate is going to be a disaster. Trump gets away with everything. Harris will get destroyed. We have no chance. It's over." I can understand the Harris team playing games with the media, in order to temper expectations, but please, stop being so doom and gloom. Things are going to be okay after Tuesday night. Know how I know this? Because... 1) No Tempers on the Temper: Donald Trump's fuse is shorter than the reported mini-mushroom in his pants. Optically there's a stark difference between a 78-year-old white-trying-to-be-an-orange man behaving like an a$$hole to a fellow older white man, and said 78-year-old being an a$$hole to a 59-year-old black woman. 2) Low-Bar Joe: I love President Biden, but the main reason why he dropped out of the race was his poor debate performance. Biden-leaners, T...

Reporter: "From your vantage point, what is the biggest divider between the two parties? What truly sets you apart from one another?" GOP: "Easy, we're the party of law and order and they're not. They don't care about crime and we do, bigly." Reporter: "Just for the record, their nominee used to be a what?" GOP: "Prosecutor" Reporter: "...and your nominee is?" GOP: "A felon" Reporter: "Fascinating..." #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #VoteBlueAsifYourLivesDependonit

What would you say to the American people or do if you messed up? Walz: "I'd say, 'Hey, we can't get them every time! If we fail on 1st, even second down, we'll get them on 3rd and 4th down!'" Vance: "I'd probably tell the good, decent, brilliant citizens of this great country, 'I'm sorry you feel I messed up, but that's on you. It's not me; it's you. You're stupid, no offense." Trump: "I've never messed up. I'm the second coming of Jesus. Maybe even the first coming; that's what some people are saying. The first coming of Jesus, can you believe that?" Harris: "I'd own it. I'd own it like Putin owns Trump. I'd own it and learn from it, so it doesn't happen again." #VoteKamalaHarrisAndTimWalz2024ToSaveAmerica #Snark

Here's how I viewed Thursday night's debate...    Tapper: "President Biden, you're old." Biden: "Is that your question?" Tapper: "Thank you, Mr. President. President Trump, your response?" Trump: "He's so old he's dead. The man standing right next to me is literally dead, bigly." Tapper: "Thank you, Mr. President." Bash: "President Trump, what is 2+2?" Trump: "7. Period." Bash: "Thank you, Mr. President. President Biden, your response?" Biden: "That's a load of malarkey. 2+2 is 4. Duh. Also, I'm not dead. I'm here. I'm talking, aren't I?" Bash: "Thank you, Mr. President. Staying with you, who is your favorite WNBA player?" Biden: "Say what? I don't have time to watch sports. I have a job to do. I'm President of the United States of America." Bash: "Thank you, Mr. President. President Trump, who is your favorite WNBA player?...

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...

When debating the electoral college vote, Missouri Senator and man voted most likely to sell his children for a tiny handful of votes - Josh Hawley - uttered the "word" "irregardless." After poking fun at him for it on Twitter, I received one passionate dissenting voice. She even went so far as to claim I had the vocabulary of a grade-school kid, because I didn't consider "irregardless" to be a legitimate term. Yes, most dictionaries state that "irregardless" is a "nonstandard" word and tend to add something along the lines of, "It's not the recommended form of the term, especially in written papers. Also, whenever it is written or spoken by a person, he or she will immediately be viewed as an idiot." So, yes, a person has every right to use this word/non-word. At the same time, however, I have every right to tease said individual for expressing this word/non-word. Let's think about this for a second here... Regard...

Podcast: "I Feel Snitty" Episode 70: A Tale of Two Conventions Premiere Date: 9/2/20 Length: 11:15 (1,703 words) Link: https://ifeelsnitty.podbean.com/e/a-tale-of-two-conventions/ Transcript:  Welcome to I Feel Snitty , episode 70, entitled, “A Tale of Two Conventions.” I’m your host, Craig Rozniecki.   As I do every four years, I watched both the Democratic and Republican conventions. In case you missed them, for whatever reason – perhaps you wanted to social distance yourself from bullshit, I thought I’d satirize the series of events for you, courtesy of a debate. The debate will be between the Democratic Party, voiced by my rendition of Joe Biden, and the Republican Party, voiced by my impression of Donald Trump. The debate moderator will be my version of Steve Harvey, because why not? Here we go…   Harvey: “…and the winner is Miss South Africa, I mean, Miss North Korea. I kid, I kid, but seriously, folks, welcome to the first annual Joint Convention Debate. ...
