When traders equal traitors

Turncoats on Wall Street. Plus, ecori, celebrating Susan, and Rock ’n’ Roll
It is about time someone pointed out that the vile crooks of Wall Street aren’t just greedy, thieving bastards. They are, in fact, traitors to this country and its citizens.

Never mind the Chinese hackers with their economic espionage or those Al Qaeda operatives bringing down the Twin Towers. They can’t hold a candle to what our fellow Americans in the investment business have done to we, the people. Line ’em up against the wall, and hold the blindfolds, it appears to be the only language they will understand.

Sleep tight, Benedict Arnold.

GREENING UP
Given Phillipe and Jorge’s pro-environment nature, we are pleased to see a new Web site making a mark very quickly in Little Rhody. It’s called ecoRI, and is headed by Frank Carini, former news editor at the Newport Daily News, who is making a go of it on his own.

Carini has enlisted the help of some very sharp freelancers who have hit the deck running, and they have been putting out a very nice product from what these jaded old eyes have seen.

P+J urge you to take a look, and also open up the purse strings a bit for ecoRI if you can, as like everyone else trying to get by, P+J included, we all need a bit of lolly to keep the music playing.

P+J’s cultural tip for the week is the “Nature+/-Nurture” opening for artists Nancy Whitcomb and Angel Dean at the Providence Art Club’s Maxwell Mays Gallery at 11 Thomas Street in Our Little Towne on Sunday, May 2 from 2 to 4 pm.
