    Out of curiosity, are there any elected Reform Party officials in the US?

    Heck, I still am asking why the whinny, griping Reform Party of Rhode Island has not weighed in on this important matter?

    Heck, I still am asking why Rhode Island is even a state. My city council district is larger than Rhode Island. Maybe we should get two US Senators too.

    “A federal judge has ruled that a law…” … I’m still waiting, what did the judge rule? The sentence just dies after the law is described.
