Even if it’s Amazing, It’s not fair, so I hate everything

By Marc Comtois | October 10, 2011 |

Trying to figure out this Occupy thing? Right now, this seems to explain it the best (h/t):Remember this bit by Louis CK (thanks for reminding me, Will)? Protest song! …a sultan and student both have iPhone 4s…it’s not fair Overall, much of the logic seems to go something like this (h/t): ADDENDUM: I put this…

By Monique Chartier | August 28, 2011 |

As you may have heard, US Fish and Wildlife have been cracking down on those fiends at Gibson Guitar. (H/T Glenn Beck.) Federal Agents of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service raided factories and offices of Gibson Guitar in Memphis and Nashville on Wednesday, seizing wood pallets, electronic files and guitars.

Cicilline on the Hunt Trail: A Photo Caption Contest

By Monique Chartier | August 23, 2011 |

Is it possible that pro-Democrat bias is creeping back into the ProJo’s coverage of the race for the First Congressional District? Photographs of the three declared candidates for RI-1 adorned the front page of today’s Providence Journal. In one of them, the candidate is frowning into the sun as he speaks. In the second, the…

Who Owns “Olympics”?

By Marc Comtois | August 10, 2011 |

I was 10 minutes away from the Redneck Olympics over the weekend (couldn’t make it, though). Sounds like about what you’d expect: In the Tire Beer Trot, contestants ran through two rows of tires with a cup of beer in each hand. Some tripped over the tires. Some made it to the end, where a…

Iowahawk’s Twitter Imponderables for the President

By Monique Chartier | July 14, 2011 |

Last week, President Obama held (I’m appalled to type the phrase) a Twitter Town Hall. Below is a sampling of the questions posed to the President by Iowahawk. (Regrettably, the President offered answers to none of them.) Would you get tougher with Iran if you knew they were working with Scott Walker? If we reneg…

My Kinda Starlet

By Marc Comtois | July 13, 2011 |

I know Mila Kunis from watching a few episodes of That 70’s Show and Family Guy (both funny, but I’m not a “fanboy”). In general, she’s always struck me as a cute, funny actress with a genuine one-of-the-guys/little sister vibe (hey, I’m over 40 now!). I haven’t seen it, but she also gained some critical…

Despite it all…

…one of the reasons we love this crazy, mixed up state is days like this. So enjoy it!

Looking for One Time Fixes: Any Indian Temples in RI?

By Marc Comtois | July 5, 2011 |

Just dreaming: In Southern India a story that sounds like the plot line of a Hollywood adventure film is unfolding. Over the past week, on orders from the country’s Supreme Court, a panel has found a treasure estimated to be worth $22 billion in the underground vaults of a Hindu temple in Trivandrum, India. Anyone…

Social Hosting Tip: Chief Esserman Might Well Have Benefited If the Sarah Palin E-Mails Had Only Been Released A Couple of Days Earlier

By Monique Chartier | June 12, 2011 |

Certain members of the msm, demonstrating an interest and a level of energy that they never remotely approached when it came to candidate and then President Barack Obama, have recruited a volunteer army of readers and are currently snuffling through Sarah Palin’s gubernatorial e-mails looking for material with which to embarass and/or ridicule her. The…
