Conservative Politics, Religion, Culture, and Anything Else

Everybody in the Rhode Island area has either heard of or been a client of the Foxy Lady — a place of ilrepute in the midst of a town called Providence, known for all sorts of things including a “Legs and Eggs” special, while being as classy as Southern New England can do a public strip club. [...]

Meaning no disrespect, but when I heard about the passing of former Rhode Island Senator Claiborne Pell yesterday, I had absolutely no idea he was still alive until then. The former six-term Senator served from 1960 to 1996, so he was always old to me, and since moving to NJ seven years ago I just assumed [...]

I couldn’t resist commenting on this latest scheme out of my former home state, the dying State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations!

While perusing the Corner earlier today, I was pleased to see that All American Colleges has published a guide for the top 50 schools for conservatives, old-fashioned liberals, and people of faith. I was even more pleased with the cover. I know many of you will agree.

This one’s for the Rhode Islanders. Like me, many of you have fond memories of Rocky Point, that cheesy amusement park from yesteryear.

Without too much fanfare, Rhode Island’s favorite ex-cokehead Republican, Lincoln Chafee, decided to bolt the party last “June or July.” Saying, “It’s not my party anymore,” begs the question: when was it ever your party? He’s currently unaffiliated, but that isn’t much of a change either. He was the definition of a RINO which is what [...]

An 86-year-old brain surgery patient, whose name is yet to be released, eventually died Saturday of a botched operation. The nurse practitioner didn’t specify which side of the patient’s brain needed to be operated on, but the doctor went ahead anyway, on memory of an old CT scan. Once he realized his mistake he began to work [...]

I don’t really like cats, being much more of a dog fan. I’ve only met a few cats that I genuinely like. To me, they seem very self-interested, using you for food and warmth and tend to get used to you more than truly like you. Dogs are pretty dumb comparatively, but they love attention and show [...]

This just in from Virginia: four sailors hailing from Rhode Island are still lost at sea this evening after possibly being hit by Tropical Depression/Storm Andrea, forming ominously off the Carolina coast this week. Representative Patches and Jack Reed (a short Senator) have been haranguing the Coast Guard to step up efforts to find the Rhode Islanders [...]
