Chris Gabrieli announces his supports Cape wind farm
Two Democrats down, one to go
Tom Reilly only one left twisting in the wind
With gas prices about to jump another 20-30 cents a gallon and the Democratic primary just six weeks away, another Democratic gubernatorial candidate is making the Cape Wind project a key issue in his statewide campaign.
That leaves only former Democratic front-runner Tom Reilly, Independent Chris Mihos and Republican Kerry Healey not in favor of a renewable energy project which has captured the American consumer's mind.
Ironically Gabrieli made his announcement on the same day that the Alaskan pipeline was closed by British Petroleum due to corrosion. BP supplies 20% of America's oil.
Chris Gabrieli is a Boston venture capitalist who was the Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor four years ago.
His television ad endorsing the contentious Nantucket Sound Cape Wind farm project can be seen here.
While Gabrieli had previously expressed conditional support for the plan, he is now unequivocal in his support for Cape Wind in this 30-second spot that began running on Boston and Springfield television stations yesterday.

I find it fascinating that the national news has picked up the story.
Where else but Nantucket would such a wealthy NIMBY blockade of the most benign source of pollution free electricity be of the nation’s interest.

In fact, a search using his name on http://news.google.com (sorted by date) will reveal that only this newspaper and the Cape Cod Times has reported the fact as of 5:55pm today, August 8.
Peck... for God's sake... if I get along with you, I'm gonna get along with just about everyone.
I even like Jack, and we fight all the time.

Chuck K.
Regards,
Chuck.
FYI... Jack (is such a jerk) enjoys you (he whispered it in my ear once) too.
Chuck, good luck dealing with that blac chick. We all know what they say about black guys... But black women? - What's so 'special' about them?
The offensive, degrading, insulting, abusive, bigoted, and rude personal attacks that you persist on making should not be tolerated. Clean Power Now, Cape Wind, Jim Gordon, and the interests that you advocate for are damaged by your indecent manner.
A review of your comments by clicking 'Show all comments by this user' "Stephen Peckham" or "Windsmart" provides a window to your gutter mouthed observations.
Cape Cod Today would do well today to enforce their policy that should end your use of their portal.
DEGRADING, INSULTING, ABUSIVE, RUDE PERSONAL ATTACTS... As well as...
Your... MISLEADING QUOTATIONS & ARBITRARY NEGATIVE POSTULATIONS, DAILY REPETITIVE DOSES OF DISGUSTING and OUTRAGEOUS FEARMONGERING...
As it relates to Cape Wind, EMI and Jim Gordon...
And I will return to my (normal?) pleasant & good natured manner... And show you the respect you deserve.
Then and only then will I, short of being thrown off of this portal cease to enjoin you and others of your ilk in any manner I wish within the acceptable and enforcible paramaters of CCT.
If you find you cannot tolerate me any longer then please return to the other sites where you and Magical/Capri can continue your love fest with each other and trash the project all you want.
At least what I post...
~Outside of occassional affectations due to high energy bursts of cosmic radiation from collapsing deep space black holes~
Is truthful and at times entertaining...
To me &...
Perhaps, occassionally others.
~Always
That, or she cannot tolerate my directive insolence anylonger with out becoming ill.
In either case, it affords me the opportunity to correct ONE (possible) error in my prior...
That being: "At least what I post... Is truthful..."
I feel it neccessary and appropriate to point out that... "Is truthful" - pertains ONLY to MY OPINION and factual information as noted...
As far as Cape Wind, EMI and Jim Gordon is concerned.
Any and all other comments are and or should be taken with a grain or salt or if need be a suppository...
Depending on your physical size or outrage the economy size or extra -strength may be necessary to relieve symtoms...
Disclaimer: As with all medications...
Follow directions carefully, be mindful of any unusual bloody discharge, runny nose, teary eyes or excessive vomiting.
If symtoms persist see your doctor...
Or, if an emergency write Barbara Durkin.
It is so nice to hear from you my insolent lady friend.
Should I take it by way of communicating with me directly, you have reconsidered AND ARE... Including me once again to your (appropriatly fared) PIG ROAST?...
How about if I PROMISE not to plaster "LIES" stickers all over your signs?...
Then can I come... PLEASE?
No huh?...
Bumma.
I suppose a "records check" might be in order but I am quite sure I have NEVER insinuated or suggested that BD has otherwise been as you post...
As far a me being a gentlemen...
Where & when appropriate... ~None better.
~When not... "Here let me reach over and get your door for you"... And boot your ass out of the car @ 80MPH...
'Of course'... Not thinking of YOU here!
As far as being "...way out of line."...
You're right, we should be posting about the OTHER ('white boy'- Can't let those 'of color' be one up on 'us' can we?;~) Pol in the race intelligently supporting Cape Wind too.
Go Deval!
AND...
How do you think... "I think I am being loyal to my cause."...
Did I not offer to come "over to the dark side"...
If the price was right?
After all... ALL those who work for the Dal'liance are handsomely paid to sell their souls to decieve and insult the unsuspecting public.
And your friend Durkin...
Rumor has it... Stands to benefit quite nicely by working in her husbands real estate company...
Who coincidently...
Has extensive dealings with guess who?..
None other than the somd dude named EGAN...
The same EGAN who happens to be on the Board of Directors of the Dal'liance...
The same EGAN that has waterfront property on the most exclusive piece of real estate on Cape Cod... Great Island...
Who also coincidently... Is a neighbor of some other guy by the name of 'Christy'... What is it?
Oh yeah - Mihos!
Also... On the board of the "Save Our Sound"... I mean VIEW!
You see... Although a few have swallowed the stream of affleuent effleuent...
Most have not.
If not... For the record:
Please state your employ... And your affilliations past and present with the Egan family / enterprises.
You know...
Just so we know for sure that you...
"Are nothing but a concerned citizen"...
With NOTHING TO GAIN...
Wouldn't want you to breath any better now would we?
P.s. Then again, what do you care? You live in where is it that poor dumpy town called Westboro...
What do you care about the air quality on the Cape and the Islands?...
Opps almost fergut... You one of dem tourists who will be askered to come to the Cape and bump into one of those nasty turbines...
Generating enough energy for the Cape and Islands without buring...
A SINGLE DROP of OIL, or TON of COAL, or THERM(?) of GAS... or PARTICLE of ENRICHED URANIUM...
Wouldn't want that to happen would we?
As Bushie says:
All you have to do is...
FOLLOW THE MONEY!
Come now Barbara... Fess up and tell the truth for a change.
The good year round residents of Cape Cod may forgive you for your impure deeds.
Sorry to say will not be able to play for the rest of the day...
Off to do the Leslie Staul(sp) thing and to the BOX in ACK to hear what our first colorful Guv has to say...
Come on by and take a swing... I mean swig.
My thoughts are with you.
Does this mean the PIG ROAST at your house is out of the question?
Tell me it isn't true! ;~(
"...The North Slope field accounts for about 8% of U.S. oil production and is the source of 20% of the crude used by gasoline refineries in California,..."
BP may well supply 20% of U.S. petroleum (or not, I don't know), but the article implies that 20% of our entire oil supply comes from Alaska. It is 20% of the crude used for gasoline refineries in California.
Potential Governors should get the whole picture of wind energy, looks like Gabrieli only sees what might get votes, the hell with all the facts, tragic.
When it comes down to Barbara Durkin saying: "I am just an 'ordinary citizen' with MY OWN feelings on Cape Wind"...
"I do not represent anyone... I am not paid to say the things I do... I have no financially benefical interest in saying the things I do..."
And a 'birdie' suggests OTHERWISE...
Me thinks... A wolf in sheeps clothing.
Yes, I think it appropriate that the truth be told...
I suggest her comments are financially motivated because of her connections to the Egan who happens to do business with her/her husband...
And happens to be on the Board Of Directors of the Dal'liance.
Who happens to be neighbors with Christy Mihos... Conincdently against the project as well.
I believe a persons WORD... "Is sacred".
By way of you suggesting that I...
"make up (about Barbara) whatever (I) think may be useful in some sick way... appalling"
In the EXACT same way I find what she HAS SAID to be...
~Deceitful
And yours... Just plain ridiculous.
You say: "...many of the stories about Cape Wind have glaring problems...
Claims are just that claims. Anyone can claim anything. Especially when those claims are attempting to sell something that is hooked into the current energy crisis and global warming...
I say, where is the science? As in where is the proof? Not
the theory."
- Please tell us qbout ~"many stories have glaring problems"... Exactly which stories have these problems and please identify what the problems are.
- Please tell us how ISO New England has said for over the last few years that thru their "science"... Their claims are just "theory" about the need for more generating facilities on the Grid...
... As well why - They embraced Cape Winds efforts to contribute electricity to the grid?
- Lastly, do please tell us how a "story" that for instance says...
"Cape Wind will reduce the amount of fossile fuels being burned and thereby have a positive impact on "Global Warming"...
Might not be science... But "unproven theory"
Do tell.
Capri says (claims) of: Duval & Gabrieli... "Neither know anything about the realities of the project."
~Now Capri...
Is your claim... One of 'those claims' such you say are:
"Claims are just that claims. Anyone can claim anything. Especially when those claims are attempting to sell something that is hooked into the current energy crisis and global warming."
And therefore... Your deduction:
"I say, where is the science? As in where is the proof? Not the theory."
Can you PROOVE your assertion that Duval & Gabrieli...
"Neither know anything about the realities of the project."
Or... Are you just making an unprovable & non-scientific...
~Claim.
I suggest you are making a faulse...
~Claim.
Are you sure you didn't mispell and you meant to say:
~Clam(s)?
I think it must be so because...
It doesn't pass the 'smell test'...
Phew!
- I have a son starting college.
- I have a daughter living in a suburb of Boston and working in Marlboro for a financial company.
- I have another daughter living in a suburb of Boston and working in Boston for a financial institution.
The door is open MagicalCarpi...
Come on in...
P.s. Bring your girlfriend Barbara... Has she had a nice nap?
Awful quiet on the western front here.
Have nothing to say about questions posed and appropriate responses to their statements of late?
Their excuse: Irreverent 'Windsmart'
The fact: They can't face the facts.
"A drowned cat shuns the water" - T. Weller
Peckham has kids? There goes my Spore Theory...
Yes,... Dad should know better like you...
But no way Durkin think, she going to get away with the 'stink'...
Without not knowing who exposed her for what she is...
~A 'Shill'... Is commenting and her name is Durkin.
What hat?
What is so "nice" 'bout this hat that I might be desireous of?
Pssst... I'm trying to hide from Durkin so please don't use my name!
She wants to do me in at this point...
Thought she was in 'deep cover' but no longer is.
You make "claims" and post information that is un-true...
Here you are again about 'another' wind project down the tubes...
Yep, agreed... Studies ARE important, and are being done in accordance with the requests of MMA & Mass Audubon in Nantucket Sound...
"The upshot... being..."
Of course, no amount of studies by ANY company will suffice you or Durkin...
They are all on the 'take' and not credible... Right?
Your "point" about the Bald Eagle is just another red herring as far as I am concerned...
To "claim" this species migrates thru this area and winter on the Cape and Islands...
Without verifiable and factual proof...
Is just another "Claim" on your part.
To "Claim" that M.A. and others INTENTIONALLY left out this "critical information for the public"...
Is potentially... Libel.
To further say it was done in an "unethical" & "ignorant" manner...
Should have the attention of M.A...
LEGAL DEPT.
Have you notified them?
Yes... It is fear mongering AND misrepresenting MASS AUDUBON...
When you DO NOT state that these ARE preliminary findings that YOU QUOTE...
And NOT... The latest findings and position that MA has taken on the project.
Your comparison to a childs toy makes absolutly no sense at all...
Therefore... Verifiably ~MAGICAL.
As well... A diabolical coverup because they are in the pockets of the developer eh?
Of course MA will be taken to task and to your liking be discredited by way of not knowing or indicating the flyway as you seem to suggest...
That the Bald Eagles fly directly over Horseshoe Shoals...
That is the part of Nantucket Sound we are ~concerned about... Yes?
"As to (my) other remarks Magical... No, I am afraid it is not my (far from fat) wallet in the way...
It is quite plainly that more often than not you just do not make any logical sense at all...
As well, your attempts to obsfucate the real intent to Save the VIEW...
Makes one of those... Asses out of you...
Too!
P.s. I will remind you later on...
And give you a third chance to reply to my comments that you have seemingly intentionally ignored...
I would guess it is because you had no truthful nor logical way to answer effectivly.
~Till then my sweet.
Tell you what...
I will apologize for saying your "Claim / Clam(s)"...
"Don't pass the smell test"
But, none needed on your part...
Sometimes you just have to face the with it... When I am trying to get a point across to you.
~Chow
No time now to repost as I will surely do... Maybe Capricious one will answer eh?
I realize you may not understand how one of these blogs work Magical, but generally, unless specifically directed... Anyone can be expected to comment on a post/comment.
Regardless of your intention of not dialoging with me any longer, you may rest assured I will take you to task for any and all comments you make relative to your...
~"ignorance of the facts and your overblown distortions and accustions"...
As anyone with half a brain would agree (claim / clam) as fact based.
So, in parting my dear...
You may want to "hold your breath"... Because 'mine' (you are a...) is going to be in your face.
For the duration.
Regards,
Chuck Kleekamp
Magical!... Communicating with her nemisis once again. Going back on her word... I ask: How can we trust this woman?
Magical your postulation / ASSumtion that I (have) an ass is entirely correct...
As to 'my ass' having money... Not quite, but rest ASSured... Nearby.
Likewise, not much... But enough.
As to a "wife"... Sorry to dissapoint you Magical... Me nor my ass has one...
Please fill out a pre-qualification questionaire? I think there is ample room there for a woman of your pre-eminent standing.
My former wife, yes... Is publicly acknowledged as head of CPN.
The only waffle(ling) I am aware of here...
Is the FACT...
That you are unable / unqualified / intellectually not capable and therefore cannot answer any of the prior questions you charge as...
~"overblown distortions and accusations."
Is just a feeble way to mask your inability...
Then again... Maybe it is NOT the above and that by doing so you...
Expose your true intent of: 'Saving The...
(of course)
~VIEW.
No apology.
If there ever was a blog slut I certainly fit the bill amoungst at least a few others... Monpo not withstanding.
Good question Wolfram... Gotta check - Oh yeah, think it was titles: "Magicals a... (multiple choice)"
Chuck... Damn you! ~Things just starting to simmer (ahhh - the aroma!) and you want to put a lid on it. ;~)
Ok, I will try and behave...
Now Magical, come clean & respond to me (~blogslut!)
One more time... Please Magical, see if you have it in you to respond to my questions of yesterday and the day before.
Barbara Durkin... Tell the TRUTH!
Two days ago I asked Barbara Durkin if she in fact worked with her husband who by way of business / financial connections / arrangements...
Did or did not do business with the same EGAN that is on the Board of Directors of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound...
And... If this was the same EGAN that had a home on Great Island being a neighbor of Christy Mihos also a wind farm opponent.
In that Barbara has in the past CLEARLY made it known numerous times that she has no financial or other hidden agenda(s) than her 'personal' beliefs...
To intentionally try and discredit the Cape Wind project by way of her numerous misleading comments etc.
I believe it only fair that she should in fact disclose her true motives by way of telling the truth about her connection to the opposition.
If with "integrity and honor"... Are in fact the way that Durkin does conduct herself...
She should speak for herself and honestly answer the questions I posed a number of days ago.
P.s. Magical... I thought it funny you called ME an ass ;~)
P.s. New num de plum: 'Capri'... As in 'Capricious'.
~Appropriate is an understatement.
One of the reasons I come to this site less often is that many of the comments here are vitriol disguised as dialogue.
Thank you for your acknowledgements regarding rude and crude language, and personal attacks.
I'm glad that they're not being generated by those on my side of the aisle.
There is no place for the same in a legitimate debate.
Thank you for elevating this forum.
Your not responding only confirms my accusation.
You do in fact have a financial/personal interest in opposing Cape Wind.
vis a`vis your connections to the Egans who have waterfront property on Great Island.
So much for your credibility in ~"elevating this forum"...
Seems "There is no place for the same in a legitimate debate"
Your making a joke Barbara... Right?
Please confirm.
However, you called me an ass more than the fingers on one hand...
And my recollection is I only called you a bitch once.
Never~the~less... In the spirit of all good blogsluts - I forgive you.
And hope... We will be able to continue in our humerous ways...
And of course... Your invitation still stands for the pig roast.
Are you sure your not upset because I called someone else a blogslut and not you?
I would NEVER intentionally want to offend you ;~)
I can bring the pin the tail on the donkey setup.
Each evening, from December to December,
Before you drift to sleep on your cot,
Think back on all the tales that you remember...
- Of Blog-a-lot
Ask ev'ry person if he's heard the story,
And tell it strong and clear if he has not,
That once there was a fleeting wisp of glory
- Called Blog-a-lot
Now say it out with pride and joy!
Blog-a-lot! Blog-a-lot!
Yes, Blog-a-lot, my boy!
Where once it never rained till after sundown,
By eight a.m. the morning fog had flown...
Don't let it be forgot
That once there was a spot
For one breif shining moment that was known
As Blog-a-lot!
Of course the inspiration is from my love of my fellow blotsluts.
"For one br(ie)f shining moment..."
