Tonight’s the night of our first-ever informal Anchor Rising gathering. Warwick TGI Friday’s bar area. 7:00 p.m. Even if you can do no more than stop in for a beer and a hello, we’d love to see you there. Or if you’d like to spend three hours working through RI’s political corruption or the difficulties…
Just a reminder: tomorrow night at 7:00 at TGI Friday’s is Anchor Rising’s first attempt at an informal gathering of writers and readers. I’ll have Anchor Rising baseball caps for the first five people to ask me for one. Hope to see you there.
Although unsure what to expect, we though it would make for an interesting evening to invite y’all to an informal get-together next Thursday night, September 20, at the bar area of the TGI Friday’s in Warwick (by the Michael’s craft store and across from the expensive-car sales plaza). Although we’re prepared to enjoy yet another…
It occurred to me to suggest that, whenever one of us appears on TV, on the radio, or in print, notes from y’all commending the appropriate producers, hosts, and editors for their good sense certainly couldn’t hurt. You know, if you’ve the time and motivation.

Speaking of opposition to parasitic lawyers, please be sure to see what our newest advertisers have to say. The more y’all click the ads, the more likely sponsors are to renew and the more likely others will be to give us a chance. Believe me that they do pay attention.
Matt Jerzyk and I complete our tour of Rhode Island’s major TV networks this Sunday at 7:30 am with an appearance on WLNE-TV’s (ABC 6) On the Record with Jim Hummel hosted by none other than Jim Hummel.
Yes, that’s my piece about DCYF’s structural problems found on this morning’s Providence Journal editorial page, nestled between the Editor’s thoughts on NY Mayor Bloomberg’s possible presidential run and Froma Harrop’s piece on the house swallow. Of necessity–no surprise–I had to boil down the information I provided in my lengthier posts hereabouts (here and here),…
Upon the first mention of the notion that I’m about to put forward, Mac provided the humorous, self-deflating title of “Anchor Reclining.” The basic idea is that the contributors to Anchor Rising — including commenters — ought to do more than transform pixels into arguments. We ought to meet. Converse. And we should probably do…
