Idiocy in the armpit of New England

First, this master arsonist bent on raw destruction threw a Molotov cocktail through the window of an East Providence fire house. Good work, sparky.

Second, RI legislators are undertaking eliminate fractional pricing at gas stations, requiring owners to charge only whole-cent prices when selling retail fuel. Sure, the economy is in rough shape and gas prices are high, but do legislators really think that their constituents are stupid enough to be fooled by gas station owners' fractional pricing system? Maybe firehouse fire-bomber guy is. Even if they are that stupid, gas station owners are only gypping them out of what, 30 or 40 cents each month. Do really stupid people budget their money so tightly that this makes any difference to their lives?

I thank God that I do not pay taxes to that dysfunctional government.
