Not sure if Ian was chumming the waters with his headline, but I’ll bite: Jerzyk looking to sell Rhode Island’s Future. Heh, some of us would agree (ba dum bum). Ian has more from Matt: For me, I have given 3 years of my life to getting RI Future off the ground and I am…
Brown student Sara Sunshine’s article on the local region of the blogosphere is a worthy offering — much better than I’d feared, having been forewarned of Crowley’s involvement. What better comment on the quirky, intangible power of blogging could there be than Ms. Sunshine’s inclusion of a quotation from the post in which I mentioned…
Give a warm welcome to the Rhode Island Republican Assembly‘s new entry into the local blogosphere, The Ocean State Republican (also accessible through the web address www.theOSR.com). From the OSR’s “About us” page…The OSR is the new politically-focused, conservative activist-oriented blog, primarily sponsored by the Rhode Island Republican Assembly, “The Republican Wing of the Republican…
Thursday’s Warwick Beacon carried its report, written by Russell J. Moore, on former U.S. Senator/former Warwick Mayor Lincoln Chafee’s disaffiliation from the Republican party.

On Saturday, Andrew broke the story that former Senator Chafee had finally left the GOP. So did RI Report’s Tom Shevlin, who has some “original thoughts” on the way it was reported by…

He is one of those people, like most…
An old joke down in Washington (as I’ve heard) is that inhabitants have a peculiar method of reading books: index first. Of course, “Washington” is a metonym for American politics, and the index-first urge is a natural one for anybody who may find his own name (or that of another person or an organization about…
Didja hear about the netroot capo who had to settle with the SEC? Matt Drudge (of course) broke the story that, according to the NY Times, MyDD.com blogger Jerome Armstrong is paying close to $30,000 in fines to the Securities and Exchange Commission because he promoted the stock of a company on his blog and…
Only the “reality-based” community could come up with this: …a loosely formed coalition of left-leaning bloggers are trying to band together to form a labor union they hope will help them receive health insurance, conduct collective bargaining or even set professional standards. … “I think people have just gotten to the point where people outside…
The Providence Journal’s Robert Whitcomb may think that running the editorial page of a daily metropolitan newspaper is already a big-time job. However, today, he really hits the big time — a link from Instapundit, who previews Whitcomb’s new book titled Cape Wind : Money, Celebrity, Class, Politics, and the Battle for Our Energy Future…
