good news, bad news
An incredible turn of events as Britney has dumped KFed. He was just rapping about how good their marriage had worked out and suddenly this happens. Just as stunning, I had FHill all the way and can’t believe the way she acted after not wining at the CMA. But it’s not all bad. At least we have the last episode of Lost before a 6 month hiatus and Dancing With The Stars is bringing it home with the final three of Joey Lawrence, Emmitt Smith and Mario Lopez. But seriously…
RI’ers stood up for what was right and soundly defeated the Harrah’s Casino and provided some sort of balance as Gov. Carcieri held on by the slimmest of margins. Although disappointed about the Chaffee loss (20/20 hindsight he should have changed to Independent like Liberman) the Dems have full control but no direction.
Crossing my fingers the moderate Dems that were elected won’t stand for the Pelosi extreme left wing agenda. Did Liberalism win or Conservatism lose? Great move by Reps to get Rumsfeld out with the country’s desire for a change of direction. Still possible: Imagine a 50-50 Senate where Don Cheney is the tie-breaker.
After the Casino, I was shocked to see our voters agree to raise taxes for every Amendment that was up for approval. Transportaion Bonds and the Zoo were easy to approve. But voting rights for criminals, raising taxes 1.5% for a taxpayer savings account and 50M for housing just amazed me.
By the numbers: 397K voters in RI. Bristol: 8500 voters, Barrington: 8200 and lastly Warren with 4000.
