It should humble us that the Maine-iacs had no problem seeing the intelligence of getting away from Arab oil while generating endless and clean renewable wind energy.
The witless Wamps have earned our community's contempt.

The reason police are against legalizing marijuana and selling it in package store like the "legal drugs", is because that way the government would make the money from the sale rather than the bent cops on the take.
If 100 million American smoke pot and the cops haven't caught too many, either they are stupid on "in the game" themselves.
Think abou it.

The gas company did that on purpose so they could get the great fried clams at Krem & Kone on company time.

When I think of our Mihos named Christy,
My skeptical eyes get all misty.
Like a fine Grecian wine,
He gets better with time,
Like good Ouzo or a single malt whiskey.

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons. ~Douglas Adams, The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

A tourist was admiring the necklace worn by a local Wampanoag.
"What is it made of?" she asked.
"Alligator teeth," said the Wamp.
"I suppose," she said patronizingly, "that they mean as much to you as pearls do to us."
"Oh no," he objected. "Anybody can open an oyster."

Royal Dutch Shell reported a 25% increase in its first-quarter profits Tuesday, saying they were mostly due to strong increases in oil prices.
The largest European oil company said the average selling price of crude jumped 66% from the same period a year ago. Shell's profits soared to $9.08 billion, from $7.28 billion. Sales rose 55 percent to $114 billion.

I think The Times had 15-20 thousand more circulation back then, Tim. Right?

Score 1 for us secularists, 3.

It certainly is reassuring that Mr. Thompson has good taste... if little else ;>)

If that letter is a sample of the education and thinking of Tobey's foes, the tribe is in deep do-do.

Aaron, are you trying to tell us Dennis is GAY?

This is a great company. Founder Jamshedji Tata was well traveled and constructed his first hotel in Bombay, the Taj Mahal Hotel in 1903. It was the first large hotel in India, and it was rumored to have been built because established hotels of the time were owned by Europeans and did not allow Indians to enter. His 13th generation descendants run the Taj hotels today.

Baloney, that's unkind and untrue.
I've had both and find the Ho's significantly better.

Ode To Brennan's Grille

At Brennan's in Dennis, Cape Cod,
There is nothing which one might call odd.
Every entrées is most edible,
While the prices are incredible !
And their potatoes are fit for a God.

You're right - ot requires a sense of humor.

My stars and zippers !!!
What a magnificent creature.

I think it's Danelle and Skye who will make heads turn on this sandspit.

ODE TO JETBLUE

Some airlines are RED,
Some airlines are BLUE,
But I'll take the BUS
And leave flying to YOU

I recall the name of the only surviving kamikaze pilot; Chicken Teriyaki

Sorry folks - you get what you pay for, and today our chamber is being run as a personal Satrapy of Mr. O'Brien who is also the force attempting to shove the waste management boondoggle down our throats.

The Club Med in Cancun is one of the best possible places to visit Mexico since we were able to have all the comforts of a first class resort and still explore the country in safety.

Or, as bald men remind us,
"hair today, gone tomorrow."

Actually they taste more like sautéed squab

"Against stupidity, even the Gods struggle in vain." - Friedrich von Schiller

Greg, this is a GREAT IDEA... I'll been looking to read something like this for years.

Great travel yarn, Rolf. I haven't thought of that lousy Yugoslav automobile called the YUGO in years.
The riddle around these parts back then was;

QUESTION: What is the difference between a Yugo and a Jehovah Witness?

ANSWER: You can close the door on a Jehovah Witness.

QUICK! Someone give Crusader some meds! Where is Tony Jackett when she needs him???
She is disconcerted, dismayed, disordered, disquieted, distressed, disturbed, discombobulated and certifiably deranged!

The whole Editorial is worth a read:

...With his candidate for lieutenant governor, Worcester mayor Timothy Murray, Patrick should build a team that understands the needs of the struggling cities and towns while reaching for innovative solutions to some of the state’s most intractable problems.

The issues dominating the campaign have, until quite recently, been sideshows — ugly distractions from the central questions voters have about Massachusetts: Can I afford to stay here? Can I learn, and grow, and prosper? Patrick and Murray have offered a solid and achievable plan for continued improvements in education; investments in new technologies, especially in energy and biotechnology; expanded housing development to lower prices; and tax relief where it counts: the regressive and spiraling property tax...

You are a compelling writer, Vivian.
You may become a female Jerzy Koszinsky, but please give us your insight more often.
You have a rare faculty for writing what others only think.

Capri, how do you feel about power tansmission lines?

Good to have you back, Chuck. You're a fine writer and I look forward to your postings.
But you left our my favorite, "A House is not a home" by the famous madam Polly Adler.

We knew he was a flack, but his plan means that all town employees (teachers, police and fire personal) would have to have their salaries capped at whatever level they began work for each town as well.

Wouldn't it also require that everything a town buys (gas, electric, cars, trucks, PC's, etc.) also remain at the original price or cost?

The guy is dangerous as well as stupid.

The Independent's website has to be the dimmest in cyberspace.
Imagine letting a 185 year-old competitor make you look archaic and primitive
;>)

If Peckham doesn't dig Doug, every sane voter will.

And Cape Mom is right about the dress code.

Hey StopWind, you say;
"cape wind in this for their own financial gains."

Is there some other way to run a business?
Is it better to "be in this for economic ruin and bankruptcy"?
Maybe "the STATE" should run it like in China?

What are you, a Commie or something?

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

“It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.”

Welcome back, Libby.
Are you the new drama critic of our kewl online newspaper?

Love isn't finding a perfect person.
It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.
I met my love in Ptown, dated for less than one day, and we've been together almost a half century. It's easy. Just be ready when "it" happens to you.

... so when people refer to
"Duxbury HIGH",
they know what they're talking about ;>)

While much, if not all, of the above is true (and Aaron had best listen to it if he realy wants to win), Aaron Maloy is still one of the most decent, hard-working and nice young men I have ever meet.
I have no idea why he choses to rebuff equality for himself and his ilk, but I still plan to vote for him in the GOP Primary, and hopefully again in the General Election in November.
The Lower Cape will be well served, and his predecessor did not endorse same-sex marriage either, but we forgave her that one "sin of omission."
