Over at RI future, Pat Crowley argues that General Treasurer Frank Caprio’s beliefs must lie outside of the Rhode Island’s Democrat party mainstream, because the Treasurer appeared this weekend at an event sponsored by the Rhode Island Statewide Coalition… It seems strange to me that Caprio, an elected Democrat, would spend any time with an…
I have a question. Once the dust settles on the big grandchildren’s money drop heading the states’ way, how is our failed public finance system going to maintain all of this on top of the infrastructure and assets that it currently struggles to keep in one piece? To Providence Mayor David N. Cicilline, new federal…
Thomas Schmeling and Pat Crowley have been engaged in an interesting conversation that began when a commenter told Crowley the following: I’m a democrat and I think the state employees unions are one of the biggest problems with the state at the moment. Public employees paid by tax dollars should not be union (emergency workers…
This is shocking: DeHayes would not provide the exact contents of the messages, which he said were found on a computer in the Memorial Union, the student life building, and at Swan Hall.

Given the temple like setting of tonight’s address by The One, I’m tempted to allude to Acolytes worshiping in hopes of witnessing the Ascension….. But maybe we should switch metaphors…. More about the movie, “The Ghost Breakers,” here (yes, that last line was actually spoken). (h/t)
Local NEA agitator Patrick Crowley recently had a piece in the ProJo in which he piggybacks a call for a popular uprising within a book review (The Uprising by David Sirota). I haven’t read the book, but I’m familiar with Sirota’s progressive populist leanings and take them for what they are (ie; I don’t dig…
According to John Mulligan at the ProJo, it looks like Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse will follow the lead of fellow Democrats Jim Langevin, Barack Obama and Jack Reed and vote to approve the FISA bill (Andrew had more details and analysis of the bill here and here). As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen.…
Apparently Congressman Langevin has voted in favor of FISA. Local progressives are apoplectic, throwing around the DINO label (what kind of Democrat is pro-life!). It also seems that the fact that Congressman Langevin is Chair of the Homeland Security Subcommittee (Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats) is not so much indicative of his familiarity with the issue…
