Another rugged individualist - I hate government conservative is going down the drain.

1. Isn't it illegal to pass a check

you know is going to bounce?

That guy is such a fucking dirtball.

15. Yes, it's called uttering a worthless instrument.

Sounds like an incompetent horn player. Why can't they just call it "intentional check fraud" or something?

2. he could always put a little red paint on his socks for some sympathy...

it worked in the world series.

3. Curt Schilling: rugged conservative individualist sucking on the government tit.

[Ian David]

4. Really, shouldn't the free market decide whether or not Curt Schilling's check clears?

I mean, just because he doesn't HAVE the money, doesn't mean the invisible hand of the free market can't decide to let his check clear anyway.

5. Curt received $75 million in loan promises from the state of Rhode Island.

Mr. "Small Government"?

10. Circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works!

I'm fascinated, in a macabre way, those who willingly participate in the Orwellian experience of Republicanism.

18. Same here. For the life of me, I can't figure out why any rational

person would want to be a republican.

6. Time to sell the bloody sock on eBay? (nt)

[rurallib]

7. I like Bernie Sanders take on local governments giving businesses breaks

States (or cities in the state) that do that should lose their federal highway funds.

[fascisthunter]

8. another republican fraud

[Logical]

9. I hope he loses his ass! n-t

[rox63]

11. I'm glad MA didn't give him what he wanted to keep his company here

Otherwise, we'd be holding the bag. Sucks for Rhode Island, but they chose to trust him.

12. Shows what a true SOB the guy really is

I hated him as a ballplayer (I'm a Yankees fan--- 2001 and 2004) and I knew that he was a RWNJ.

Now what kind of company is this?

[Systematic Chaos]

13. They do MMOs (massive multiplayer online games, like World of Warcraft)

It looks like their first entry is pretty stagnant and may not survive long.

Then, the website has a page devoted to some new project but only with one paragraph of information. I guess this is merely vaporware if they can't even make payroll.

[Lochloosa]

14. That should cost him 35 bucks...

16. Curt Schilling. Bush supporter and free market individualist.

He turns around and takes millions in government loan guarantees and still can't succeed. I doubt he'll ever end up face down in a gutter but it might be an educational experience for him.

[bluestate10]

17. Schilling should thank Rhode Island officials.

If that check had gone to the state's bank with Schilling and his financial officer knowing there were not enough funds to cover it, criminal charges could have been a result.

One can wonder whether Romney and other republicans will want Schilling fronting for them now.
