Pat Crowley Awarded Soviet “Medal for Valiant Labor”

    Ian Donnis, writing in The Ubiquitous Mr. Crowley at Not for Nothing notes:

    “By his own admission, energetic labor activist Pat Crowley, a bete noire for conservative Rhode Islanders, had a little time on his hands recently, so he catalogued the number of blog mentions devoted to him on Anchor Rising and The Ocean State Republican. The answer: 47.

    Pat, who clearly wears the other side’s opprobrium as a badge of honor, asks whether he should at least get a prize.”

    We agree. By the power invested in us by the VRWC and the “Dictatorship of the Proletariat,” we hereby award Pat “The Finger” Crowley the coveted Soviet “Medal for Valiant Labor.” *

    Established on 27 December 1938 by Comrade Stalin himself, the Medal for Valiant Labor was only awarded to laborers who have heroically dedicated themselves towards the construction of a socialist society. This award ranks above the Soviet Medal for Distinguished Labor. Citizens of the Motherland, as well as foreigners were eligible for this award.

    Congratulations, Comrade Crowley on your 48th blog mention!

    * Since the Soviet Union no longer exists — except in the memories of socialist revolutionaries, due to the efforts of President Ronald Reagan — recognition of this medal worldwide is somewhat irregular at present. However, it is still known to be recognized in The People’s Republic of North Korea, as well as in Vermont and Barrington, RI.

      Just when I thought the concept of “re-distribution of wealth” was long rotting in the dustbin of failed ideas, this guy Crowley brings it back up. Hahahahaha, what a joke. These ridiculous ideas are a big part of the reason Rhode Island is in its current economic mess.
