Rhode Island is finally number one in something... even if it's meaningless.

I've been wondering if a beauty queen and a quirky dancing traffic cop offset a holiday-tree governor and a head-on-a-stick professor.

(Let's leave the important stuff, like economy and education out of it for this discussion.)

Dan,Justin-she's harmless and cute.Why get sour about something so lightweight?

Isn't this "lookism"? (she is quite hot)

The Andromeda Galaxy has hired Al Gore's lawyers for a recount.

"I've been wondering if a beauty queen and a quirky dancing traffic cop offset a holiday-tree governor and a head-on-a-stick professor."

I say yes.

Joe,

I'm not being sour. Just quipping about the things that have brought RI attention, recently.

I'd say there's clearly a reason RI does so disproportionately well in placing reality TV characters.

Congratulations to Olivia. It's nice to see someone from Rhode Island succeed in a big way as a result of their labors. She seems like a nice kid.

Now back to our regular programming...

The tweets and re-tweets of the "head-on -the stick" professor really doesn't offset the joy.

He also re-tweeted from another person that the first 'fu*cker who said that teachers should be armed should be beaten to death.'

There is no parity between the success of a sweet beauty queen and agreement with that statement,so I guess I'm just a pickle,eh?

The head-on-the stick public employee is a high ranking member of our state educational system. He is entrusted with educating young college students.

As such,his attitude and remarks are an important part of any conversation about our educational system.

And I made a stupid error in the first sentence of my last post in thread.

I was looking at the picture of this beautiful,graceful,sweet young woman and thinking how happy I was that she won the title.
