Except for the taxpayers of Rhode Island, that is.
They got what they deserved when they voted a shitbird like Chafee into office. Chafee wasn't the one who extended the loan to Schilling. That was the guy before him. This. Chafee actually won in part based on his criticism of his predecessor's handling of this fiasco, which was essentially taxpayer money gifted to gladhanding shitheels like Schilling.

Voted on the promise of bringing jobs and economic development, not gladhanded back room deals and a $75 million bill. I mean, I guess you could say that's pretty much the GOP brand these days, but it's not what they are advertising.
"Vote Republican! You get what you deserve, fuckers!"

Yes, that was a good article, highlighting all the arrogant overconfidence that saw a whole heap of public money disappear.

I split everything that was after the above post (i.e. most of the stuff related to Curt being a wingnut) and put it into the Redstaters thread: http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=13110.0Try to keep this one to 38 Studios related stuff.

Where is the fun in that? I am totally going to send Elizabeth Warren some money. And maybe a hanky so she can wipe the tears of laughter out of her eyes watching this chimp try to run for office.

ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS HAPPENING
I actually kind of liked Kingdoms of Amalur but, yes, he is a jackass. kingdom of amalur was mostly big huge games, most of what 38 studios did was having it share the lore that r.a. salvatore created for project copernicus.

He was just on Chris Matthews' MSNBC show. Spent over half the interview arguing with Matthews that Matthews had just said "Hillary brings the truth" and Crooked Hillary never brings the truth.
Matthews had said Hillary brings the TROOPS to any contest, while Trump is looking more and more like a one-man show.

Curt Schilling Joins Breitbart With it is looking increasingly unlikely Donald Trump will be heading to the White House, the prospect that he will partner with his campaign CEO, Breitbart Executive Chairman Steve Bannon, to launch a Trump TV network seems more and more probable. In the meantime, the right-wing website is staffing up with potential on-air talent.
On Monday, Breitbart plans to announce former Red Sox pitcher and Trump supporter Curt Schilling will begin hosting a daily online radio show featuring political commentary and calls from listeners. The broadcast will eventually include a video livestream. The show marks Schilling’s return to media six months after ESPN fired him for sharing an anti-transgender Facebook post with a message that read: “A man is a man no matter what they call themselves. I don’t care what they are, who they sleep with, men’s room was designed for the penis, women’s not so much. Now you need laws telling us differently? Pathetic.”
“He got kicked off ESPN for his conservative views. He’s a really talented broadcaster,” Breitbart editor in chief Alex Marlow said.

I'll move this whole goddamn thread to politics if needed. I just feel like Curt's such a special snowflake I want this shit attached to the game.

I'm not even willing to call anything Curt Schilling does "politics." He's just your crazy drunk uncle that married into your family and everyone wants him to die an accidental, early death from like choking on a chicken bone or something.

I have just come to the enormous revelation that the GoP just wanted a reality TV show all along.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I'm changing my position - Rhode Island made a fantastic choice when they invested in 38 Studios. It kept Schilling busy for years.
Now he's at a loose end and look what he's achieving.
