In the spirit of Hurricane Henri and the fall of Kabul, in this column we will blow hard and piss all over everything, and move ahead with no idea what we’re doing and without any attempts at apology. The very visual coverage of the horrific botched withdrawal of American troops and civilians − along with […]
Oooh, you bitch! The British would call it, with a dismissive sneer and a smile, “handbags at 10 paces.” That about sums up the much-inflated confrontation between Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza and Governor Dan “Who He?” McKee at a recent press conference for the illustrious WaterFire. A lot of heated blather, especially from the diminutive […]
Relax and Enjoy It With COVID restrictions slowly but surely being eased back to a bearable level, and The Donald off Twitter and Facebook and just beginning what appears to be a marathon perp walk through the legal system, blood pressures are noticeably down nationwide. (Forget Trump’s nonexistent and bogus taxes, wouldn’t you like to […]
The late and legendary sports broadcaster Keith Jackson, known for his work on college football games, had a signature call of “Whoa, Nellie!” Phillipe and Jorge are going to co-opt Mr. Jackson by saying, “Go, Nellie!” The Nellie in question is Little Rhody’s Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea, who stole a march on potential opponents by […]
A Bunch of Pricks There is a saying that you can never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in the refusal of many US citizens to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Tales of Monsieur Pompadour A tip of the beret and sombrero to Governor Dan (Who He?)

She’s an inspired choice who we know will be quite competent cutting ribbons and pretending to […]
Big News If the pandemic hasn’t worn you down and depressed you entirely by now — and what did happen to winter? — perhaps looking at what news is attracting attention will be further numbing. As Phillipe and Jorge went to press on February 26, the top news story was Mr. Potatohead succumbing to political correctness of the lamest […]
P&J reckon that eight put of 10 Vo Dilunders could’t tell you the name of our looey guv, while nine out of 10 couldn’t ID him in a police lineup. Not that being mayor of Cumberland for 12 years is small change for Daniel “Who He” McKee; most non-native residents could find it on a map […]
“I’m 18 With a Bullet… …Got my finger on the trigger and I’m gonna pull it.” Those old song lyrics came immediately to mind after the chaos in Washington when rioters stormed the US Capitol last week. No, they weren’t protesters any more than looters are protesters. This was rioting. And not only did Capitol […]
Sins of the Father It appears that the 2020 presidential election has come to a relieving public posturing end — except for Donald Trump’s diseased mind — as even supporters of the barking mad Donald (save for the eternally inebriated Rudy “Nosferatu” Giuliani and his greedy lawyer cohorts) are finally tired of arguing that the reptile has a chance […]
