The Southern White House (Shudder) As Jorge recuperated at home at Casa Diablo, Phillipe was off to Palm Beach to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Trump family at McMansion-a-Lago (“Home of the Lepers,” in Spanish), The Donald’s hideous tribute to excess in the land of the very, very rich and very, very reprehensible. Put simply, it’s […]
Wickford is one of the prettiest villages in Rhode Island, in part because it’s on the water. Because of that proximity, virtually everyone agrees the village needs sewers in a town where the vast majority of property owners still rely on septic systems. But how to pay for sewers has been a challenge as town […]
When the Reign Comes In the era of faux reality shows ruling the universe, Phillipe and Jorge’s Cool, Cool World became very surreal on November 9. The reign of The Donald Duck Dynasty begins. It is fairly incredible that Americans have elected an insane person with a narcissistic psychiatric disorder as their president. But don’t […]
Music can be considered one of the best ways for an artist to express emotions and mood. It can also be used as a tool to motivate people, and I believe there is a genre of music out there for everyone. Artists are springing up all over the place, some start in their parents’ basement, […]
One by one they all heard their names called. Some answered that call in a wheelchair. Others carrying a cane. And many of the rest ran through the inflatable Patriot helmet onto the field at Gillette Stadium the first Saturday in November, greeted with a sustained round of applause. Close to 30 military veterans gathered […]
That Donald Trump won the US Presidency should be old news to you now. What is a surprise is how few saw this coming. It seems like even those who voted for Trump were surprised at the outcome.

Unlike “cool,” the undefeated champion of slang words, “nerd” means many things to many people. It was once an insult hurled by jocks at smart kids who ate paste and never got laid. Now it’s shorthand for obsession. Whether you’re a comic book nerd, a political nerd, a vinyl nerd or any other variety of […]
Bleed for This, the story of RI boxing legend Vinny “Paz” Pazienza is a film that many on the filmmaking side figuratively bled for as well. Producer Chad Verdi, of Verdi Productions and founder of Woodhaven Films, was driven to enter the industry by his interest in this film. Now the result is receiving Oscar […]
Today, a friend of mine was told that he has diabetes. It’s a story that is becoming all too familiar. For perspective on this creeping plague, I went browsing in the Diabetes Atlas. It was a real eye opener. I had no idea diabetes was such a global killer. In 2015, AIDS-related illnesses killed 1.2 […]
