And then there are those wholly voluntary, real-life incidents more valuable to the opposition than a million dollars in negative ads. If only the congressman had shown one tenth the passion and resistance for the loss of billions of our dollars via Fannie and Freddie that he demonstrated for a single one of his own…

Naturally, being agog for the last week about who did and did not made the ballot, I clicked on an article in today’s ProJo which looked like it might answer the question. Immediately, however, the headline They’re off! Candidates for offices across R.I. file paperwork posed more questions than answers. Candidates had “filed papers” –…
The RIGOP is not wrong to raise this matter. (Press release.) The Rhode Island Republican Party today called on General Treasurer Frank Caprio to account for the value of his time and energy spent campaigning rather than doing the job he was elected to do. Citing a steady stream of campaign events this week, the…
Confirming what a teacher had told me last week, Katherine Gregg reports yesterday on projo.com that the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals has endorsed former Senator Linc Chafee (I) for governor. Right around the same time, Ian Donnis breaks the news that NEARI Exec Dir Bob Walsh, in what is probably a…

With heavy emphasis on scaling back the size and spending (there isn’t a non-cliche adjective that properly describes how out of hand both have…
For the second time in a month, suspicion of cannibis possession has caused Miss Hilton to be detained abroad. Unlike last month in South Africa (ahem, unless the substance and the attendant culpability were quickly and conveniently shifted away from the dilettante … er, debutante as the South African gendarmerie approached), however, this incident turned…
WPRO’s Steve Klamkin report during the 6:30 am news that the AG will be withdrawing from the governor’s race sent me to projo.com which had a confirming article by Katherine Gregg and Tracy Breton on the front page. On Wednesday, a source close to Lynch said, the two-term attorney general was telling people close to…
Well, at least that would be sort of related to space, unlike the goals themselves, which have apparently been … withdrawn. [NASA Administrator Charles] Bolden caused a global stir last week when he said President Obama had asked him to reach out to Muslim leaders on science issues. He made the comments during an interview…
