*sigh* yeah, we RIers get that alot. Some people half jokingly ask, "Why doesn't MA or CT just annex RI?" and my response usually is, "Because neither state could handle us. Think those states can handle the RI penchant for hiring convicted felons to public office? Yeah, didn't think so. The Stepford wives in each state would swallow their cultured pearls whole."

Think Bay Staters don't elect convicted felons to public office? Three words for ya, sweetcheeks: James Michael Curley.
