We already knew that, and now Rolling Stone Magazine has informed the rest of the world. It’s just possible that the Downtown Boys are about to blow up.

Other than this vaguely phallic pylon, there is really nothing terribly sexy in a post about net metering and decentralized renewable energy production, but they are very important. See, this is why Rhode Island will miss having David Segal in the general assembly — he could actually concentrate on stuff like …
CONGRATULATIONS to Chris Blazejewski and Angel Taveras!!! Mr. Fernandez and our own David Segal made very strong showings and should be commended for their effort.
