Once again, wind farmer's almanac skewers the Alliance ...

"Take note of the curious news brief appearing in last week's Barnstable Patriot and reproduced here -

"Looks like the Alliance is in the market for a new name; apparently they've fallen short with that catchy moniker they initially chose.

"Several other possibilities come to mind, as I wrote on April Fools Day last year in the guise of a David Letterman "Top Ten" list, posted again with a few minor changes --

"And the drum roll please ...

Number 1o - Who Speaks for the Yachts?
Number 9 - We Hate Pinwheels Too
Number 8 - Save Our Sound for Cigarette Boat Races
Number 7 - Environmentalists for Fossil Fuels
Number 6 - Yes In Fact We Do Own the Whole Damn Sound
Number 5 - It's Not the View, It's the Distortion
Number 4 - Alliance to Protect Cute Birds
and Cuddly Widdle Seals
Number 3 - Ministry of Truth
Number 2 - Exemplars of Renewable Energy
... and the Number 1 possible new name for the Alliance ... Keep the Sound a No-Spin Zone!"

About

Revo"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought... Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings." - John F. Kennedy
