The headlines of doom are coming! Above a Brian Amaral report in the Boston Globe readers will find this:”R.I. health care system ‘is currently collapsing,’ emergency doctors warn“: The crisis has led to long wait times and inconsistent standards of care: “rationing resources, unable to provide privacy, and certainly unable to provide any COVID-19 isolation…
The musical innovations must have been compelling at the time, but the arrangements are so narrative, I feel like I’m listening to a Bugs Bunny soundtrack or something.
The United Kingdom gives a good example of the problem with this constant reporting of COVID numbers as if they should be scary, especially when the metric is people with COVID, not people who have been assessed to have been harmed by it. Here’s the underlying data, which shows that the United Kingdom has had…
What can one say? John’s questions are exactly on point, but nobody is surprised about what’s going on: Why is an unelected official making all the Covid decisions? Governor Dan McKee seems content to allow Dr. Nicole Alexander Scott to make all Covid decisions including decisions that are different than Massachusetts. Why is testing so…
This is exactly the sort of environment the education system in Rhode Island and other places around the country are inviting as they seek to impose ideological radicalism as guiding lights and institutionalize a system of lying to parents.

We also knew that the US had abandoned tens of thousands of…
Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Louie Gohmert visited the men being held in prison for involvement in January 6 and released a report of their findings.

Memory is hazy, and I missed early punk by about a half-generation, and I couldn’t quickly find the clip, but I remember seeing a punk rocker being interviewed on a mainstream television show, looking very much the emaciated junky and saying, essentially, we have control over your children. Even not being a parent at the…
Sometimes I have to wonder whether I’m one of only a few people in the state who read about the policy doings of legislators and the governor and see the wall-to-wall violations of good government… and propriety. The waves of borrowed cash that the federal government has injected into the veins of our incompetent and…
