You really should Google Murphy's Law, because you clearly haven't got a clue what it is.

Got my Fed taxes back in a week, filing electronically. State took about 10 days.

Bet that piece of property went for quite a few bucks.

I never understood the allure of waiting for well over an hour for a run-of-the-mill (at best) family style chicken dinner. Village Haven is a great place to eat though...good menu, good service.

On Round Top Rd, almost at the MA state line.

Even if she did have some cash left, she could easily donate that cash to another candidate, or to the party, if she wasn't going to use it. She could also donate it to charity. She just couldn't convert it to personal use, which she hardly needs anyway. I just can't imagine any scenario where anyone with her gig, salary, and power would give it up to be at the bottom of a 435 person cluster-bleep.

Foulkes saying no thanks should surprise no one. There was no way in hell she was going to give up her high-paying CEO gig for a spot at the bottom of a 435 person organization...especially with the current make up of that body. Governor? Absolutely. Senator? Maybe. Rep? NFW.

It was only a matter of time. You can't build the resume he has and not expect him to take advantage of the opportunities that result. Cooley has more than earned this promotion. Best of luck coach...except for twice a year when you play the Friars.

A dream job is a dream job until someone comes along and offers you a lot more money to do that job somewhere else.

Yeah, he also held a presser during the Knicks pursuit of him and said he was staying at Providence...until a couple of days later when he was gone. Fuck Rick Pitino.

edit: spelling

>These ultra right conservatives need to visit ultra right religious countries like Iran and Afghanistan or maybe Saudi Arabia.

They already know about it. That's what they want here...a Christian Taliban.

You couldn't be more full of shit.

The right wing nutbags couldn't care less what the rules call for. They don't answer subpoenas, they attack our capital (killing police, and call it a "peaceful protest") because they don't like the results of an election, and they stack our court system with like-minded traitors using whatever underhanded means needed. Same with local school boards all over the country. The right follows their own set of rules, and "fuck you if you don't like it, libtard" is their mantra.

The hospital discharged her, saying she was OK, and she died of a stroke shortly after? The cops arrest her and say she's faking? Her family is going to make huge bank on those lawsuits.

You are correct. Maybe that rule only applies to local offices, not federal. I know the US Constitution only requires that you live in the state, not the district, but I believe states have the right to add requirements to their election rules. Interesting.

Not to mention having to listen to the likes of Bobert, Gaetz, and MTG day after dreadful day. I think I'd be looking for an escape hatch too!

Not sure that's accurate. This is from the RI Sec of State's website:

If you want to run for a Rhode Island office, you must be a registered voter in Rhode Island and live within the district for the office you seek.

>Do you pay for access to articles that will take you 30 seconds to read and never look at again?

Nope...but I don't bitch about it either. Reporters deserve to get paid for their work just like anyone else. If it's not worth it to you, don't click the link, and don't expect to read it. The length of the article is irrelevant. Anybody with one iota of common sense knows a Globe article ain't coming for free.

How is "Pay walls are a fuckin plague" debating? It's not. It's bitching...or whining if you prefer.

I'm not the one bitching about having to pay for someone else's work.

Do you work for free?

Speaking of wrong district...I believe De La Cruz and Chippendale would have to move to run, because they live in D2. I think Newberry is a N. Smithfield resident, but if he's in Burrillville, he'd have to move too.

I seriously doubt Folkes would be interested. She's an executive, not a bench player. Why would she give up her current job to go to the shitshow that the House is, not to mention the pay cut. Governor...yeah. Rep...I'll be very surprised.

Makes sense. He also may have taken a look at his workplace over the past month and said NFW, especially with a viable alternative waiting for him.

Damn I hope you're right, but I wouldn't put it past him. The guy just can't take no for an answer.
