Miss Management The British have a phrase about general ineptitude, that “they couldn’t organize a piss-up in a brewery.” It appears the Raimondo administration is falling into that category. We have been treated to “Cooler and Warmer” and the UHIP debacle. Now it is revealed that because of missed deadlines for responding to legal demands, […]
You Bet Your Life With the door opened now for legal sports betting, The Urinal did an excellent piece on why illegal betting with bookies will not end. The reason is that bookies will allow you to run up a tab, with exceptional interest, or “the vig,” whereas legal betting will require cash in hand […]
Lowering the Bar Phillipe and Jorge were delighted to have some chinwag with our old friends US Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse at the Wild and Scenic Rivers media event last week. Both looked mahvelous, but that’s where the good news ends. Jack and Sheldon gave virtually the same sense of despondency over what […]
Giant Steps Phillipe and Jorge’s movie of the week has to be Andre the Giant, now running on HBO stations. Andre Roussimoff was the famously huge French wrestler who became a cult figure and huge draw in the wrestling world (and The Princess Bride) in the 1980s, but who eventually fell victim to the gigantism that saw […]
JARheads Phillipe and Jorge are a bit late to the party concerning the Sinclair Broadcasting/Channel 10 debacle over shilling for President Pussy Grabber, but we’ve never been averse to putting the boot in once a man is down. To be brief, Sinclair, which is owner of WJAR-Channel 10 and nearly 200 other local stations in the […]
Cruisin’ for a Love Phillipe and Jorge rarely see eye-to-eye with Pope Frankie of the Vatican, except to acknowledge that he is indeed a member of the Catholic faith and that bears do continue to defecate with regularity in the woods. Despite Frankie’s continuing the tradition of swanning around the globe in red slippers and […]
The Good News A few articles in the Friday, March 9, New York Times gave Phillipe & Jorge reason to believe that the patriarchal culture in a number of countries may be crumbling. International Women’s Day (March 8) gave rise to feminist groups in Spain urging women to spend no money on that day and and also […]
A Fine Kettle of Fish It’s probably a good thing that Nicholas Kettle, the 27-year-old Republican state senator, has resigned from the RI Senate and the whole sordid mess he’s embroiled in will be heard in court. Accusations of twice extorting sex from a teenaged state house page and sharing nude photographs of his ex-girlfriend […]
Sieg Heil! Phillipe and Jorge are absolutely physically exhausted this week despite the daily attention of our masseurs, Romeo and Julian. The cause of this distress is training for our roles in President Pussy-grabber’s military parade, which we find a bit ludicrous since The Donald’s father paid off a doctor to say that his chickenshit […]
2017 Perhaps only Phillipe and Jorge know how difficult keeping the Cool, Cool World going for over 38 years has been, but this past year has been especially challenging in a world seemingly gone mad. As Jorge’s brilliant friend the Sun Queen recently put it, “Just a bunch of creators and destroyers, wandering around earth […]
