Dan Yorke, who is inclined to be a fan of Governor Carcieri, is offering withering criticism of a post-election interview given by the governor to WPRO this morning.

Yorke calls the governor's explanation of GOP losses "complete unadulterated bull-blank."

"The governor is full of blank," Yorke says.

Today's first post of the day concerns -- what else? -- immigration.

A Latina activist who appeared on The John DePetro Show this morning maintained that residents of Central and South America should be identified as "Americans" just as much as denizens of the United States. We're familiar with the argument that we all live in the Americas.

Major General Robert T. Bray, Rhode Island's adjutant general, declined comment when the ProJo's Amanda Milkovits wrote a story in May that raised questions about his frequent trips out of state. Yesterday, during a broadcast of WJAR-TV's 10 News Conference, Jim Taricani and Bill Rappleye pressed Bray on some of the related topics.
