At about minute forty-four of the podcast of Dan Yorke’s interview with RISC Chairman Harry Staley, Dan poses the “magic wand” question that I’d answered in a union-busting way, and Harry answers as follows: More than anything else, I would like to effect a change in the citizens of Rhode Island from the terrible apathy…
With the return of producer Maverick from vacation, Friday night’s Violent Roundtable is now up on Matt Allen’s PodCast page. Somebody commented, after the show, that it was interesting to hear me respond to news from the Democrat representative from Cranston, Peter Palumbo, of a possible “Traditional Values Caucus” in the State House with the…
As a production of serious musicianship, Kathleen Stewart‘s lyrics are heavy-handed and the music programmed and canned, but for a few moments of light entertainment, she does evoke some chuckles. I particularly liked “Dumbing Down Our Youth“: Preparing kids for failure on the job. Preparing kids to join the clueless mob. They’ll yield to the…
Alright, there wasn’t really a fire, but since we’re talking radio, I like to imagine that there was one. Dan Yorke and I had that sort of conversation, yesterday, on 630AM/99.7FM WPRO. Those who missed it or who would like to revisit something (for kind or scurrilous reasons) can stream the whole segment (about an…

The Lenin-era cliché that Capitalists would sell Communists the rope with which to hang them comes to mind, only in this case, it involves voters allowing their representatives to get to the point of not even reading the legislation by which they’re taking our freedoms away. Such was the conversation last night, on the Matt…
On last night’s Matt Allen Show, Monique and Matt covered the travesty that is healthcare “reform,” the travesty that is underage exotic dancers in Rhode Island, and the travesty that is the Caruolo lawsuit in Woonsocket. (If I may interject: perhaps there’s a solution to be found, among these three issues, if the government requires…
Bill Rappleye brought a camera man down to the suspicious spa in Middletown that I mentioned on Monday. Rappleye’s very careful not to make the prostitution accusation, which the spa owner denies, but something odd emerges from the video. If you were a small business owner and a TV news reporter came to your place…
It shows how far behind I am on catching up that I’ve just managed to watch the episode of Newsmakers featuring OSPRI’s Bill Felkner and Pat Crowley of the NEA, RIFuture, and various other special interest groups. Bill did admirably, but the viewer can observe something that I’ve found to typical of such head-to-heads. Crowley…
Andrew and Matt spoke of “speech in debate” and political corruption in Rhode Island Matt Allen Show, as well as Andrew’s posts (1 and 2) on town taxation. Stream by clicking here, or download it.
