Once upon a time, someone with "Buddy's" record would have done everything possible to fade into obscurity - motivated both by personal shame and regret, and to avoid the stigma and ostracism that surely would await him in the community at large.

Meanwhile the local media is treating his PRISON RELEASE as if it was the Second Coming.

What better proof could we have that Rhode Island not only has, but embraces, a degenerate civic culture?

The same could be said of Bubba Clinton. I will enjoy any talk show he
moderates.
