RI: dead state walking

Lost – Once again the best show on television delivers and expands. Fans check out the Easter Egg Shots (no spoilers) to try and keep up. Just incredible.

Robert Pollard has a new LP limited to 500 copies.

Chunklet has reissued a 500 press, limited Harvy Milk LP that is close to sold out and added another press for the Whirlyball Single.

RI Socialism 301: Are there more RI’ers willing to take a 2-3% hit on their taxes to keep (or expand) their social services and gold-plated state worker benefits OR more residents that don't get subsidies from the state and want to limit social services while trying to stop with this expansion of income redistribution?

The Poverty Pimps are out in full force, so anyone who has a job, get ready for a tax hike and more fees to cripple our local economy. But have no fear, here is our state’s first official 'thank you' in the form of a poem from an anonymous crimalien, with a big heads-up to Anchor Rising.

I come for visit, get treated regal,
So I stay, who care I illegal?
I cross border, poor and broke,
Take bus, see employment folk.

Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare man says "no learn English,"
Fills out some forms in Spanish.

Then he say, "You come no more,
We send cash right to your door."
Next whispers in my native tougue,
You also qualify for Food Stamps, did you bring anyone?

Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep you healthy!
By and by, I got plenty money,
Thanks to you, American dummy.

We have hobby--it's called breeding,
Rite-Care pay for baby feeding.
RI'ers crazy! They pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.

We think RI darn good place!
Too darn good for the working white man race.
If you no like us, you can go,
Got lots of room in Mexico!”
