Before I get started today, I’d just like to bid George Tierney Jr. of Greenville, South Carolina a good morning and hope that things are going well with him and his Google problem.
Former Philadelphia Phillie and Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling in recent years became a very public champion of conservative “small-government” politics. How ironic is it that then that when he launched a video game production company that two years ago set up shop in Rhode Island thanks to $75 million in state guaranteed loans. The least Schilling could have done then was thank the government rather bloviate about how government was evil.
Well, two years later, because Schilling sucks as a businesman, his business isn’t going so well, and this month Schilling’s company 38 Studios missed a $1.1 million payment to the state. He’s now asking for more taxpayer help.
Oh, the irony.
