Cape Cod is Our Disneyland

Next time my kids ask to go to Disneyland,
do you think I can get away with telling them 
that we already live there ?

This was the sentiment uttered by none other than Christy Mihos, gubenatorial candidate and Cape resident.

The occassion was the candidates debate at MIT the other night. The topic of the forum, which Mihos, Deval Patrick, Chris Gabrielli and Grace Ross attended, was the Environment.

Christy worked the Disneyland comment into an answer to a question about Cape Wind.   It seems that a wind farm would upset his idea of heaven on earth, Cape Disney.

And Mihos  lives in not just any old corner of Cape Cod, but the MOST exclusive piece of real estate on the pennisula, Great Island (left).

In a stunning moment of unbridled, if not ill-advised, pandering, he told the heavily pro-wind audience that he would install a wind turbine not only at his house (!) but at each one of his stores (!!!).

This must be the new strategy of the Alliance to Save the Sound (ASS) co-chairman; every opponent must install a wind trubine in their front yard!  These capitalists are not ones to pass up a good tax credit, you know.

There's profit to be made in these "god damned things" as the other (ASS)co-chairman refers to them.

For the record, I will be able to see Christy's wind turbine from my house.  But it will also be seen from Kennedy's Compound. Not to mention Bill Koch's Osterville mansion.

I'm not sure if Christy cleared his idea with those guys.

It sounds like he's saying, "if you can't beat them, at least beat them to the punch."

No wonder Sue Nickerson seems so demoralized these days.
