The $78,000 Babysitting Job

There are 74 high school teachers in Central Falls, Rhode Island who might get the axe…and not due to the economy. The graduation rate in the city’s high school is at 48 percent.

AssHat Award: Miley Cyrus and her pole dancing

My daughter will be nine years old next month. She likes Miley Cyrus. Correction, she likes the show Hannah Montana. That when she gets a chance to watch it. Most of the time she’s playing outside, digging up worms, riding her bike, swimming or snuggling up with me at night with a good book. She... »

Emergency AssHat Award: Minors in Rhode Island can be Strippers

I would like to wake up one day and see something in the local paper that doesn’t tick me off. What I read today made me wonder wonder if someone in this state of disprepair (otherwise known as Rhode Island) might want to take a look-see at the law that permits minors to work... »
