St. Ernie If you don’t know the name Ernie DiGregorio, you are definitely not a true Vo Dilunder. Just voted into the College Basketball Hall of Fame, Ernie D. should have been selected before he ever left Providence College and headed to the NBA, where he was voted Rookie of the Year. He was the […]
Blameless or Shameless? Phillipe and Jorge can barely make space for commenting on the cascading affronts to decency, honesty and intelligence offered up by our conman/cheat/racist president and his toadies. And the level of outright corruption in Washington, DC, must make disgraced authoritarians like Venezuela’s President Maduro whinny in delight that our own presidency is […]
Schools of Scandal Phillipe and Jorge are appalled by the recent exposure of bribes, cheating on tests and falsified admission applications by parents in order to get their numbnuts sons and daughters into prestigious schools. (We must say we take exception to The University of Texas and San Diego University as being included in that […]
Mind Games Phillipe and Jorge always try our best to keep our faithful readers amused. To that end, here is a mind game we enjoy playing at home. Whenever we see an absolutely idiotic national ad on TV (we exclude brainless local spots, which are legion), we ask ourselves: How did this piece of rubbish ever get […]
Wall of Lies Our morally and ethically bankrupt Cheeto-colored president recently declared a totally contrived national emergency at our southern border. There was a tip-off two days before that his plans were going to be outrageous, if not totally illegal, when he talked about his new gigantic wall, which he claimed would be harder to climb […]
Gigi Does New York Phillipe and Jorge will be presumptuous enough to assume that most of you missed the feature cum profile of our own head honcho, Gigi Raimondo, in the January 27 edition of The New York Times in its excellent “Sunday Review” section. It was by columnist Frank Bruni, who owns the coveted page three space […]
Bullish Trump One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. […]
No Hope Point Tower It was a bit embarrassing – not to mention absurd – to see the Providence City Council roll over like trained circus dogs to override Mayor Jorge Elorza’s veto of the changed zoning ordinance for the hideous Hope Point Tower on part of the old I-195 land parcel. The council went […]
Mass Murderers, Inc. Way back in our childhoods, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, P&J trusted our country to be moving forward evolutionary-wise. Not so much these days, with a racist, misogynist pig who, through some ungodly mistake, we made president. Always nice to know our commander-in-chief gets all his information from the despicable Fox News and […]
Benjamin Button at the State House Now that we have gotten over the joy of seeing the Dems take over the US House -- with the exception being the incredibly off-putting and clapped-out speaker, Nancy Pelosi, still in charge — we are dismayed that our local Democrats have re-established “Thick Nick” Mattiello as our own House leader.
