The Iveys – In The Dark

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 08, 2012 16 Comments

We have featured The Iveys before to a very good reader reaction. The band members are the cousins of LI reader, photographer (also, here, here) and West Texas correspondent Danelle, who also happens to be one of the first to email me whenever I get a national media reference,...

I know a woman who immediately covers her ears when the topic gets to Obama and what he’s done wrong and what he hasn’t done right. She doesn’t believe any of the things she accidentally overhears and accuses me of making it up. “Where do...

David Cicilline’s Cover Up

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 08, 2012 2 Comments

I posted yesterday about the race between David Cicilline (D RI-01) and Republican Brendan Doherty. Cicilline has managed to pull into a small lead because of an over-the-top Mediscare campaign and faded memories of Cicilline's cover-up of Providence's financial disaster. The Doherty campaign has just launched a...

Preview of VP Debate

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 07, 2012 53 Comments

Paul Ryan is expected to do well in the VP debate, essentially the reverse of what was expected for the presidential debate where Obama was favored going in. The expectations are high, I think too high: Ryan does, however, have a lot of non-debate debating experience dealing...

David Cicilline (D RI-01) back to his Mediscare routine
