In his post about America’s conception of liberty and the civic structure that supports it to broad issues of the day Justin points to State legislators who apparently have no concept of the effects of the legislation that they pass at the behest of self-interested and ideological constituencies Indeed, they do not. Perhaps the biggest…
We all remember what gov candidate Frank Caprio said to John Depetro Monday morning on WPRO. Tuesday, he defiantly told Meredith Vieira and a national television audience watching the Today Show I stand by my comment. Now, however, NECN is reporting that the Dem candidate issued the following statement yesterday. I have had a lot…

The following letter, dated yesterday, was in my in-box this morning. I have some questions. The City Auditor had to file a Freedom of Information request with Mayor Cicilline in order to obtain basic information about the city’s finances??

[O/T preamble: though I made a petty point of changing my computer’s home page to Bing following upon Google’s dalliance with the Chinese government – no evil there – I have to admit that, maddeningly, Google still has the best search engine.] A July analysis in US News and World Report indicates that, of all…

This is undoubtedly why, on more than one occasion during the last couple of years, either voluntarily or at someone’s quiet request, he appears to have gone missing. But to…
If you visit Rescuing Providence even on a semi-regular basis, you witness, through Michael’s eyes, more than what happens inside an advanced life support vehicle in Providence, RI including, though not limited to, a great many examples of what happens when you cross human nature with a public service that is “free”.

Presumably operating on the belief that he cannot get a political promotion without resorting to slander, the mayor of Providence has stood in front of numerous senior gatherings in the last month and solemnly stated that if his opponent, John Loughlin, is elected, he would privatize (read: take away) social security for current recipients. This,…
With apologies for merely transferring something whole cloth (especially in sight of Andrew’s extensive work), an interesting press release yesterday from the RIGOP highlights the contrast between Frank Caprio on the campaign trail and Frank Caprio in action at the General Assembly. During last night’s televised gubernatorial debate, Democrat Frank Caprio struggled while trying to…
