  &lt;p&gt;38 Studios LLC, the teetering video game company of former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, could be ineligible for million in state tax credits because the firm is incorporated in Delaware, not Rhode Island, according to WPRI-TV CBS 12.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Curt Schilling’s bloody stock &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Now would be a good time for Rhode Island to cut its &lt;a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2012/05/20/curt-schilling-bloody-stock/kIvI7UkMoo08DmAFD5vveO/story.html" title="losses with Curt Schilling" target="_blank"&gt;losses with Curt Schilling&lt;/a&gt; and his video game company, 38 Studios.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stick to what you know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To be fair, Schilling does seem to be something of an expert in &lt;a href="http://www.arktimes.com/ArkansasBlog/archives/2012/05/18/curt-schilling-gop-small-govt-man-seeks-taxpayer-welfare" target="_blank"&gt;taking handouts from the government he claims to think should be smaller&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.webepvd.com/post/23519937261</link><guid>http://www.webepvd.com/post/23519937261</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 May 2012 22:05:52 -0400</pubDate><category>Curt Schilling</category><category>hypocrisy</category><category>video games</category><category>politics</category><category>business</category><category>fail</category><category>Douche of the Year Nominee</category></item><item><title>Everyone should thank Donald Carcieri for these great jobs he brought to Rhode Island</title><description>&lt;a href="http://pbn.com/38-Studios-previews-Copernicus,67705"&gt;Everyone should thank Donald Carcieri for these great jobs he brought to Rhode Island&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Still unable to pay its workers,&lt;/strong&gt; 38 Studios LLC, the cash-strapped video game design firm founded by former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, has released a video trailer for its new game, code-named “Project Copernicus.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia are backing Montana in its fight to prevent the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United decision from being used to strike down state laws restricting corporate campaign spending.&lt;/p&gt;
