Both the lack of posts and any sporadic performance on the main page are (probably) explained by the same thing: I’ve been trial-and-error-ing my way through some new coding possibilities. Not resolved yet, but hopefully soon.
Healthcare remained the key topic ’round here over the weekend, beginning with my opinion that the urgency to pass a bill within weeks is faux (and reckless). I subsequently honed in on one reason government operatives might be so keen on universal healthcare: It opens the door to control of people’s behavior and, therefore, the…
Weatherwise, it appears that spring has finally arrived, which is good, considering that we’re already a couple of weeks into summer. For those of you whom blue skies or other draws kept away from the Internet, here’s what went up on Anchor Rising. The RI Tea Party and the Bristol parade was still a topic…
It being a holiday weekend — and only two days, at that — we took it somewhat easier than usual. (There’s certainly an allegory for my schedule in the fact that a fireworks show of approximately 30 minutes ate up a little over two hours of my Saturday evening, but I’ll leave it alone for…
For some reason, one of our spam filters became overly broad within the last sixteen hours — blocking for example, comments including the URL “anchorrising.com,” as well as the various IP addresses of regular readers.

What the topics will be only Matt knows — which is why I’ll be reading my newspaper a…
While I’m thinking of it: Andrew and I will be on Matt Allen’s Violent Roundtable tomorrow night from 8:00-9:00 p.m. That’s on 630AM/99.7FM… as if you didn’t know.
This will be the final post of our week of rattling the cup. Thank you to all who have donated and subscribed online, as well as to those whose snailmail donations have not yet arrived. Unless a substantial surprise awaits us, we’re still a long way from the goal of funding a full-time job, but…
I’ve had reason to be optimistic, over the past few days, that the various isolated (and sometimes schismatic) groups that have thus far constituted the Rhode Island right (or center-right) are beginning to come together. The factors that bind us are of increasing importance, compared with those that tend to push us apart. No doubt,…
