Apologies for bringing this up on a Sunday. Then again, perhaps it is appropriate to do so as global warming is now treated by some not so much as a scientific theory which demands (so boring) consistency in data and observations and models but more as a sort of warped religion where questions and empirical…
It has come to my attention that the ProJo’s infamous PolitiFact is currently investigating one of RIILE‘s several objections to in-state tuition for illegal alien students. So how about some sauce for the gander? In fact, a strong case could be made that all politi-fact checking on this matter should be directed to the RI…
On Thursday morning, a member of the Board of Governors for Higher Education, Attorney Eva Mancuso, appeared on WPRO’s John Depetro Show to explain why the BOG was considering extending in-state college tuition to illegal alien students. Unfortunately, her answers fell short in a couple of key areas. Asked by her host why the BOG…
Patrick highlights the recommendation by a Board of Regents panel that the state offer to illegal aliens the ability to attend state colleges at the much lower tuition rate paid by in-state residents. The ProJo 7 to 7 News Blog reports that the Board of Regents Board of Governors for Higher Education is expected to…
Heh. As the 2012 presidential campaign heats up, President Obama’s campaign team has set up a new Web site, AttackWatch.com, to challenge negative statements about the president made by Republican presidential candidates and conservatives.

An amendment numbered 38 printed in House Report 112-88 to require that the rules of engagement allow any military service personnel assigned to duty in a designated hostile fire area to have rules of engagement that fully protects…
That’s what the Obama campaign must be quietly saying after reading the column of the not-exactly-right-leaning Maureen Dowd in the not-exactly-Republican-sympathizing New York Times. (“Languid”? “Flailing”? Yikes!) … If the languid Obama had not done his usual irritating fourth-quarter play, if he had presented a jobs plan a year ago and fought for it, he…
Under Patrick’s post, Max Diesel asks Does anyone know how much this clown’s pension was bumped with and without the disability after coming back as chief? The answer is that, in Rhode Island, a regular pension is taxable. A disability pension is not taxable. And this continues for the life of the retiree. But why…
Congressman Cicilline: I turn to this forum to communicate with you because your Congressional website bars you from receiving e-mail from anyone outside of your district. You voted “No” on the following amendment. An amendment numbered 38 printed in House Report 112-88 to require that the rules of engagement allow any military service personnel assigned…
