No one has the flair for the dramatic irony like our very own Welfare Queen, Curt Schilling:

Rhode Island scrambles to save Curt Schilling’s game company
5/15/2012 6:06pm


"......State officials became alarmed about the financial health of 38 Studios “when a loan-guarantee payment payment of about $1.125 million was not made, which put the company into some default,” Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon D. Fox told the Providence Journal. In 2010, Rhode Island offered $75 million in loan guarantees to Schilling’s company, which moved from Maynard to Providence and promised to create hundreds of jobs.

......Michael Pachter, a video game industry analyst for Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles, said that 38 Studios would probably get about half the revenue generated by sales of the game, or about $30 million – enough to enable 38 Studios to make its loan payments. “I cannot believe that they are borderline insolvent,” said Pachter. “That makes no sense to me at all......”

Do I sense a rather deep disdain for Von Schilling shmessy?

Yes.

And a deep disdain for political hypocrites, in particular.

Schilling represents the very heights of the class.

well it is rather odd that a self professed strong minded republican got in bed with the very liberal RI democrats. Not odd really - Schill sold his soul to the devil and now the devil has become Schill. Rhode Island ... my state ... biggest little idiot state in the union should be the song. We suck because we make one bad decision after the other over here.

Awesome video of Schillings threat to Massachusetts in 2010:

Schilling: Mass. will lose video game business without tax credits, startup support

What a piece of work.

Huh, neat angle there.

I'm glad that "arch conservative Republican" Deval Patrick knew better than to enable poor ol' Curt.

BTW....What party did Governor Carcieri belong to?

It's hilarious.

He evidently loves hypocritical Welfare Queens.

Yes, it is everyone ELSE'S fault for not loving Curt Shilling for preaching against taxes and stimulus while grabbing the donuts with both arms.

PT Barnum said it right. There is one born every minute.
