Comets, Computers and Comey May we now put the sensationalized testimony of former FBI director James Comey before Congress into the mausoleum already containing such equally overhyped events as the extravagantly promoted (non) appearance of Comet Kohoutek in late 1973 and the Y2K “Millenium Bug” that was going to crash every computer in the world […]
An Eye on I-195 Phillipe and Jorge were astounded last week by a call for political transparency by none other than Senate President Rubbers Ruggerio. Based on his past behavior at Halitosis Hall, we figured Rubbers would need the equivalent of an ethics NarCan shot if he ever stumbled across good government practices. The senate […]
Complaint Bureau Through our 38 years of writing the Cool, Cool World, people have chided Phillipe and Jorge for having the easiest job in the world, given the constant fodder being presented to us by the gaggle of imbeciles and well-dressed crooks at the General Assembly, the Crimetown-worthy operations of local city and town councils, […]
, Crimetown, The Sequel? The very good and highly recommended podcast series, “Crimetown,” about Rogue Island’s “Mobsters and Lobsters” past, may want to unpack their microphones and head down to the Providence City Council meetings. There are more than enough hacks and thugs in action to fill at least a couple broadcasts. The city council […]
Huge Blunder at Urinal? Phillipe and Jorge fear that GateHouse Media, absentee owners of the Biggest Little’s organ of record, The Urinal, may have made a colossal mistake – not the first since the carpetbaggers have taken over from their kindred much-removed spirit, the A.H. Belo Corp. of nearby Texas. We note that Alan Rosenberg […]
Pretty Faces Perception is reality, as the old political saying goes. So what do you think people from elsewhere perceive when they look at the face of government in Little Rhody now that “Rubbers” Ruggerio has been chosen Senate president by his peers at Halitosis Hall? No, not necessarily a police line-up, but don’t discard […]
Paging Inspector Clouseau If you are like Phillipe and Jorge — or most residents of the Biggest Little — you consider the star of the 38 Studios debacle, Curt Schilling, to be a flatulent, bloviating, self-absorbed moron with the business acumen of a chimpanzee. (Our apologies to chimps everywhere.) But the fat fraud got it […]
Trump’s International Recognition From the UK’s Private Eye magazine: How Soon They Forget Are Phillipe and Jorge missing something, or is the fact that the fat groper and purported billionaire now turning the White House into a man cave still refusing to release his taxes not an issue of importance anymore? As P&J are slogging […]
Habla Loco? The Hispanic community in Little Rhody had every right to be proud of District Court Judge Rafael Ovalles when he became the first Latino to be elevated to the bench by Governor Donald Carcieri in 2005. He was an especially good role model for his nephew, young Angel Taveras (P&J simply adore him), […]
The Three Stooges Phillipe and Jorge recently had a chat with a nationally acclaimed author who happens to be a Brown graduate and now lives in Washington, DC. One of the first questions out of his mouth was, “Does Rhode Island still have all those sleazy politics in government?” Our response was, “How does three […]
