The States: Maybe A National Divorce Is A Good Idea After All

Jeebus. When I lived in KS, I met a guy who hunted feral hogs in TX with dogs. Nasty business. They trained the dogs for different specialties: detecting, tracking, fighting, etc. The prize dogs were the "catch" dogs who would leap and lock their jaws on the throat of the hog. Once the dogs had done all the work and the hog was exhausted and bleeding out, the mighty hunter would then approach and kill the hog with a knife. So manly. So virile.

But at least there were no helicopters involved.
 
Hey, if he wouldn’t have been able to bring the backpack, he would have never had a gun at school!!
 
While I was typing in the link, the text of that article changed from "This is the third time this school year Grand Rapids Public Schools has had a young student bring a gun in a school building" to "This is the fourth time this school year...."
 
Rhode Island is like every stereotype about Massachusetts, combined with the wealthy parts of the North Shore of Long Island, all distilled into 3 square miles.

Maybe it is because they are tired of always hearing this whenever they say they are from Rhode Island:

Fun civics fact: Rhode Island did not have separation of powers for 215 years.

The Rhode Island judiciary was not elevated to coequal status with the Rhode Island general assembly until 2004, a result achieved via the passage of an amendment to the Rhode Island Constitution abolishing legislative supremacy in the state. Although Rhode Island's political architecture had no direct influence on Article III of the U.S. Constitution, the Ocean State judiciary's long and curious journey to independence reveals why independent courts are essential to the preservation of liberty, something the framers of the federal Constitution appreciated more than 200 years before the political leaders of Rhode Island.

This used to be a great bar bet. The only one left is who has the only unicameral state leg.

Mock if you will, but when Providence held the 2000(?) hockey final four, Buddy declared it legal to drink outside within I think, like a 3 block radius from the Dunk Center. So you could walk around from bar to bar, or just hang out on the streets with your buds drinking beers.

One of my greatest final four experiences. And the first where I met a bunch of the idiots who hang out on this board, some still here I guess, but many long gone. The Michigan folks were awesome.

Then again, I don't hang out on the D1 board much anymore.

Oh hell yeah. Providence rules. One of my favorite clubs to play is there (Dusk) and the biggest crowd I've ever played for was there (Fete, place was packed).

Incredible. I'd love to see that. Probably never going to happen again.
