The stakes have never been higher. We have compiled some last minute talking points for convincing drunk uncle and dopey grandma who still can’t believe Buddy came to the wake that time and he was so nice. ~Cianci has been actively currying favor with Muslim clerics. Can Sharia Law be far behind? In the schools?!!!! …
For most people considering the Providence mayoral race it is not necessary to go back further than 2002 when Judge Earnest Torres sentenced Buddy Cianci to 5 years 4 months in federal prison saying that the outgoing mayor had . . . ”presided over an administration that is rife with corruption at all levels” and …

Intimidating the homeless. (Somebody get Jimmy Carter on the phone . . . now!) According to the Providence Journal, The state police are investigating possible ballot tampering at the state’s largest homeless shelter after two “official-looking men with clipboards” entered Crossroads Rhode Island on Wednesday and asked residents to hand in their mail ballots — …
You may need the police some day. Would you prefer that the officer responding had been hired and promoted on merit? Would honor and integrity be desirable attributes in a law enforcement officer? Then vote for Jorge Elorza. Today’s ProJo cover story “Buddy’s Boys” shows exactly what a police department run by Buddy Cianci would …
(10.15) There may still be tickets available in the overflow area (?) for Wednesday’s mayoral debate at Brown, but the large auditorium of Salomon Center has been sold out. This could be interesting. [Additional Note: Good job, everyone. Read about the debate in ProJo 10.15.14.] In the meantime, go to RI Future and check out …
And the assault during which Buddy Cianci used these weapons (according to his own sworn testimony) lasted three hours not three minutes.

So, how can you tell when Cianci is lying? His lips are moving. Tired, old joke I know, but these gotchas are happening daily at this point.

In a stunning act of shortsighted greed and stupidity, the Providence police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, has voted to support the mayoral candidacy of Buddy Cianci who once spent 4.5 years in federal prison for running a criminal enterprise from Providence City Hall. How does the union think this looks to the world? …
Attention Eastside Marketplace — shouldn’t this be stocked in the twice-convicted felon aisle? Because your decent law-abiding pasta customers don’t think these jars belong on the same planet as Newman’s Own. The Associated Press broke the story last month questioning the claim on the label of Buddy’s pasta sauce that sales are “Benefiting Providence School …
This new movie “Obey the Giant” looks like a pretty polished production. Filming on location around town — and with the blessing of Shepard Fairey himself — RISD senior Julian Marshall has crafted this short narrative film about the early life of Fairey, and the origin story of his OBEY GIANT street art campaign (which …
Yesterday on his radio show whimsical coot Buddy Cianci claimed that mayor David Cicilline misappropriated city funds in order to give two strippers a ride (heh, heh) from Boston. But an investigation proves that really it’s kind of way more complicated than that! Turns out Scott Birchall, who does work for Allens Avenue club Trixx, …
