AS a veteran journalist I can assure your readers that Boston TV is subjecting us to its usual hysteria fostered by parochial envy.

It is a very slow news week, and Channel 25 and Channel 7 are showing their usual bad taste in sensationalizing the trivia at the expense of a good, solid education for our kids.

At least I hope that's their reasons - otherwise its anti-intellectualism at its worst.

Of course your critics won't bother to read Tuchman's book before jumping all over anyone who thinks America isn't always right, facts or no facts.

Bill, Chuck is correct. I've reported on your doings for decades and guarantee you that the "antis" will make every, possible attempt to drive you away.
But receiving over a dozen comments in the first few hours is a strong indication that you will be well read.
Just remember to keep your robust ego out of the posts you write, and put your thoughts in them instead. Readers will react negatively if you don't - ideas, not ego is what's needed today.
A paraphrase,
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their peninsula."

What a whirlwind turn about in the world's opinion of America after only a half year of peaceful purpose in the White House.

Every American can be proud of this acclaim. May it encourage Mr. Obama to get our troops out of harm's way in Afghanistan as well.

Chuck, that's a great point.
In the top photo Eunice look like a young Lauren Bacall.

Chuck, these goons plan to turn our state into Vegas anyway.
Maybe they think they are Vikings instead of Indians.
I thought Cedric Cromwell was a lot smarter than this, but money talks and honesty walks even if it talks with a forked tongue and walks in mocassins.

Allen was an equal opportunity insulter. He also said, "I have just returned from Boston. It is the only thing to do if you find yourself up there."

Here's to Downtown Hyannis,
Selling cocaine and Oxycontin pills,
Where the Hole Gang meets visiting tourists,
And the harbor is full of their swill.

Shecky is correct - Since hyper-local is the only media idea with legs, GateHouse is of course going hyper-regional instead.

A decade ago Glenn Rhitt resigned from that company when it forced him to cut staff when The Cape Codder was profitable but HQ (which was then Herald Media) needed his profits to keep The Herald afloat.
I don't see locally owned weeklies like The Chronicle of the Enterprises laying off staff or cutting pay, and if GateHouse's weeklies down here were still privately owned they wouldn't be doing that either.

In The Phoenix coverage of this event they suggest this as suggested question #1:
1 - As someone who has a lot of wealthy friends with waterfront homes, is it difficult to tell stubborn Cape Wind adversaries to go f*ck themselves?

Lysistrata had the right idea when she convinced the women of Greece to withhold sex from their men to force them to give up war. The a strategy, however, unfortunately only inflamed the battle between the sexes which survive to today.

I wish someone would write a limerick about Brewster. That's a tough one to rhyme.

Own a piece? How about renting it this summer?

STOP ! You're turning me into a nature lover for the first time.
P.S. I love it.

The daily ignored this story today except for a couple paragraphs online about the visitors canceling their trip to Plimoth Plantation.
It's astonishing how the always find the one negative to alarm their ever-diminishing nmber of readers.

Maverick, read this Navy report:

"Acting with President Obama's authorization and in the belief that the hostage, Capt. Richard Phillips, was in imminent danger of being killed by captors armed with pistols and AK-47s, snipers on the fantail of the destroyer Bainbridge, which was towing the lifeboat on a 100-foot line, opened fire and picked off the three captors.

Two of the captors had poked their heads out of a rear hatch of the lifeboat, exposing themselves to clear shots, and the third could be seen through a window in the bow, pointing an automatic rifle at the captain, who was tied up inside the 18-foot lifeboat, senior Navy officials said.

It took only three remarkable shots - one each by snipers firing from a distance at dusk, using night-vision scopes, the officials said."

It must be driving you nuts to see such careful, thoughtful and SUCCESSFUL moves by a president who is not "Bush-league" like his predecessor.

Mad Mav is himself a charter boat captain.

If you really believe as you write "with fewer resources there is a need to rationally allocate public money to serve the greatest need", why not begin with the $2 million a year budget you control at the Cape Cod Out-of-Commission?

Start by reducing the staff 11.5% and for God's sake STOP doing the Alliance's evil work for them by spending MY money to stop the wind farm, it's clean energy and the jobs it will create for Cape Codder!

Samantha - you are a WONDER !
That is one hell of a great yarn, and a major scoop for Cape Cod Today.

The Police in those 9 town clearly have lots too much free time on their hands.
That's good to know as each town looks for ways to cut budgets. They can just lay off the police who spend time hunting down pot smokers and save the taxpayers money this year.

Gawd - you are a good writer.

Ode to the Uncommon Loon

Raise your (spy)glass to the uncommon loon,
A waterfowl who can carry a tune.
No bird's song can be liver,
Than this Great Northern Diver,
But she comes and then leaves all to soon.

Thank God Crude is against Cape Wind - that means it MUST be the best idea still sliced bread.

Crude-sader, in her usual know-nothing, Somerville idiocy,is wrong again - Orleans approved a Christy's where the South Orleans General Store stood, and how can one station/market be a monopoly?
Mr. Mihos is a warm and generous friend to Cape Cod and citizen of Yarmouth. He lives five miles from this location.
I'm sure someone out of work today from the real "monopolies" layoffs would be happy to work at a Christy's which is known for being a fair and just employer.
Crude-sader is a fool who lives in Somerville and prefers boarded-up eyesores along Scenic Route 6-A, but still attempts to lecture Cape Codders on aesthetics. What a jerk !

Peter, doesn't this remind you of your series last years about the Bookstore Restaurant owners in un-Wellfleet stopping the owners of Roobar from refurbishing the old Capt. Higgins restaurant near them?
WOW ! And we only thought this kind of Hillbilly hokum and fear of strangers occurred in places like Appalachia not the enlightened north.

Ode to old Ted
--------------
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you.
Change your mind 'bout the wind farm,
And I'll admire you too.

Hurrah for Christy Mihos - a Republican (sort of who even a Democrat can love.

It's not fair - you are too beautiful to be such a good writer - kidding - love you writing.

The Dead Sea Egg-Scrolls:
And God came down from the heavens, and He said unto the chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the Chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

And Ned, the cost is 1/3 of the competition which doesn't have a website to speak of OR mobile couponing.

Poor Peter, once a voice for the people has become the latest shill for the Osterville plutocrats.
Shame on you, Kenney. We all know you are an unemployable philistine, but to suck up to the likes of Glenn "The Coal Man" Wattley is a new low point in your loutish non-career.

The Kennedy-Delahunt cabal to stop America's leap into a renewable future was amusing, but now it's become unpatriotic and evil.
Today's media report that "the Obama plan would double the generating capacity of renewable energy over three years, enough to power six million American homes" and all these disgusting old men can think about is Teddy's precious ocean view,

Yes, but can she rhyme "chimney" or "orange"?

Gonzo, how about the date of the last hurricane which came through the Sound? And what do you care if the turbines fall, although no oil platforms seem to fall, and they're in the worse possible water for hurricanes.
Have you checked this year's electric bill compared with last years? Did you notice the 55,000 fellow Americans who lost their jobs yesterday alone?
Unless you own waterfront property in Osterville you'll never see the wind farm.

Justice delayed is justice denied.
The strategy of CC Times and its oily co:conspirators has always been to delay the project until the developer gives up.
That demonstrates how little they know of Jim Gordon's moxie.

The rest of the Observer story "Who's Going to Lick a Kennedy?" is what happened to to McCormick AFTER that fateful 1962 debate.
For the next decade he was ignored and shunned by the Bay State Democratic party and couldn't get a job or appointment to anything.

In 1972 McCormick ran into a Kennedy aide at a function and asked "Why are you guys still doing this to me."
The icy reply was, "BECAUSE WE CAN."
That's our Ted, and the reason he is stopping America's renewable energy revolution - "BECAUSE HE CAN."

Where is it playing on Cape Cod????

Nice debut. Is this your first experience in a foreign country?

Oily bedfellows -

The Allinace's new CEO is an oil industry flack, his predecessor decamped to the Wind Power industry after taking $133k + bennies from the Osterville oligarchs, and the funding of this vile group is from other fossil fuel destroyers and seasonal trophy home owners who don't give a rat's ass about us Cape Codders.

As Voltaire said two centuries ago, "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to my death your right to say it."
Many of your commenters haven't a clue about how a democracy and freedom of speech work. Their Fuhrer has taught them well.

Dear Cape-pooch, please don't frighten her away - she is that rarest of idiots - she hasn't the slightest idea of how inane her remarks are nor the utter contempt the rest of us feel for her.
The poor thing is unemployable and perhaps our greatest comic relief since William Hung left American Idle.

You have to wonder about an attorney who starts suing writers to stifle dissent. And what's with the Red White and Blue tie around the neck of a fool attacking the First Amendments Rights of Americans which his ancestor fought to bestow on a free people in 1776?

Isn't a lawyer's first task to protect his client? Instead Revere's anti-free speech suit ends up revealing in the court records the exact phrases which Mr. Brooks removed from the Robbin's blog at Revere's request.
And when did Cape Cod attorneys start suing writers? And to protect his reputation?
WHAT REPUTATION?
He just lost any he may have had.

magician - have you taken a look at the World Trade Towers lately, oh, you forgot, they were destroyed along with 3,000 American lives by Arab Oil, and the price of not having it happen again is to be energy free.

Your dog may not care about the color, but my cat is very picky and won't go near a harshly hued hydrant. Puce is her favorite.

Peter knows that as well as anyone, but he's being paid by Bill Koch of Oxbow fossil fuel and the Alliance to be a "gadfly" for pay.
He's a sick man, and you'd think he might care more about how he is remembered. Sadly, the truth is no longer in a man who was once a great force for good on Cape Cod.

America is still a democracy, and even powerful men don't yet have the right to "name their wives" as their successors in any elected office, but if Teddy wants that, he should suggest his first (and only wife according to his church) Joan who is the mother of all his children.
At least she earned it. She stuck by him after Chappaquiddick and his plane crash.

Estonian farmers are broken-hearted-
Fed cows to get milk, but they only FARTED.

It's the Commission which is unscrupulous, and these bureaucrats are WORSE than politicians.
It's like sending in the fox to look after the chickens.

Thanks to cc-today and Peter Gwynne I can sleep late, skip the CCTC breakfast this morning and save money all at the same times.
Great reporting job as usual, Peter. Didn't you used to do science reporting for NewsWeek?

Peter R, you may have been a good detective, but you are a great food critic.
I end up going to every place you recommend and I haven't been disappointed yet.
Keep on chopping.

Peter is a paid flak for the Alliance. Anyone who saw his two fluff interviews of Glen Wattley on local access TV knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's bought and paid for. What little credibility he had left is gone.

They were paid by the Alliance to dominate the early comment period here, and they'll do the same in the Vineyard tonight.
Don't they realize islanders recognize bull-squat when we hear it?

Don't these businesses realize that us poor folks resent them using their wealth and power to intimidate voters? Why would ANYONE do business with such idiots?

I wonder how much gas would cost today if we had not invaded Iraq. I wonder how much the Arabs would charge for oil if America was energy independent with renewables.

Gee, funny how the local daily manges to ignore the oil price story even as it stifles our own economy.
Think it might be they would then have to re-examine their arrogant opposition to renewable energy off our shore?

You are very good. Thanks for sharing, not explain how to get a date around here. This may be the only place this side of Ptown or Boston's Bay Village where the men dress better than the women.

After reading Mr. Kenney's blog posts on the 3-year MMS DEIS report, I was struck by how he would premise his assertions on information that has been publicly disclaimed by the author of the MMS economic analysis to which he refers. The author has even warned such information should not be used because it could be misleading to a public for which Kenney apparent feels does not deserve the truth.
His second post on Cape Wind's project finance approach and prospects contains not one shred of knowledge on that company's plan. Kenney's agenda has not changed since the early days of his public screeds against this landmark, renewable energy project, and one can not help but notice the similarity between his writing and logic and that of our local demented daily and its evil twin, he Alliance to Protract Nantucket Sound.

“Satire's my weapon, but I'm too discreet To run amuck, and tilt at windmills” (Apologies to Alexander Pope)

As a Liberal Democrat I was hoping R omney would be "their" candidate to insure our victory in November.
Hopefully the dinosaurs will go with Huckleberry.

Hey, Hillary's loss may be her gain - women die some times when Ted's at the wheel.

After glomming $20M from the oil moguls to stop competition, these saps have to do something (meaningless of not) every few months.

I was told by a Truro cop that another policemen investigating the murder scene used the toilet in Christa's house which destroyed any evidence which may have still bee in the catch basin.

Thanks for the warning, Monponsett.

If "money is the root of all evil", why are churches always asking for it?

Katie, you write smarter than Maureen Dowd.
These a-holes rant about Indians and Buffalo Chips while the Neo-cons are destroying Democracy.

Mary, thanks for reminding us that the neo-cons have been destroying America's reputation for decency and democracy since 1953 at least.

And the politicians wonder why the world hates us.

Bull-flap, Kenney - you're simply kissing the asses of your wealthy Osterville friends, the Bill Egans of this world who despise your pupulist views.
When's the last time Egan had you over for din-din?
You've sadsluy become a sort of a MIMBY-WANNABE without the courage to change and accept any sacriface for America's energy freedom while you rant about an new moon walk need.
In an honest self-appraisal you're call yourself a hypocrite.

Never underestimate the viciousness of a bastardly billionaire.
After all, he sued The Globe when they criticized his art at MFA.

Turning wine into oil -
That equals $5 million for a bottle of oil.
There are 42 gallons in a barrel and 4 quarts in a gallon, total 168 quarts in a barrel, so I guess our Bill would be willing to pay $5,569,200 for a quart oil.

Congratulations, Barbara and the rest of the CPN staff. Your membership is now one of the largest on Cape Cod, and still the old media manages to ignore them and they wonder why no one reads newspapers any longer.

Ted is pissed? Is that what last week's rain was all about ;>)

Staggering, irresponsible and damned near treasonable. Between this and the wind farm the man has lost it. Vicky should find a nice assisted living place for the old goat.

It would be useful to note that the Commish flag above is the color of money

The Cape Cod Commission has a "Death Wish.'

Even Bennett couldn't be THAT stupid. Of course he did... didn't he????

truth-denier123, either you are unable to read, or another accomplice of your disgraced leader. Kenney's article states the facts as stated by the US Attorney's office in Boston after a week of testimony by two tribal council members. Many in the tribe have seen the 8-page letter referred to.

Jeff, Abramoff has already confessed to several briberies with persons involved in Indian casinos. What's your problem?
Kenney is doing a superb job on something all you "professional" journalists have missed. You should be lauding him.

Other gambling interests like the Martha's Vineyard tribe are also vying for casino licenses, and out in Aquinnah they would have shunned Marshall and the Hendricks.

Those green signs "Entering Water Shed" are weirder. What are we supposed to do, not get out of the car and take a pee?
Has anyone told the raccoons? Why shouldn't local sign codes apply to politicians too!

'spains more about the Crude than I really wanted to know
;>)

WOW ! If that's Monpo's babysitter, what does the Injin Princess herself look like?

crusader, when will you be visiting the cape again?
Perhaps you can contribute to the pile.

While Boston's Brahmans may recoil in fright,
The rest of us wait to see Taj "do it right."

He is, after all, a Kennedy. What would you expect but waffling. How can
he be anti-carbon when he (Kennedy) is in the pocket of the Venezualian
government-owned oil machine?

Ya, and get a little edgy at times, too.

God save us from these "helpful" drivers who are so stupid they don't know the danger they cause.
It is AGAINST THE LAW for a motorist to stop on a State Highway for any reason other than turning left or right themselves.
The "helpful" idiots have no idea what the cars behind them may do.

The RICH get RICHER and the POOR get the BILL.

Charming travel tale. It makes one want to avoid airports altogether and sail away to Osterville Island.

Let's all hold our breates till we see a story about this sweetheart deal in the daily or in that formerly great weekly they bought last year.

Mav, old bean, no one is smearing you or suggesting you stop commenting - you are quite sane compared with the harpies who get paid by The Alliance to diss the project.
It's just that we don't think a "real guy" like you can be comfortable being a hypocrite - and you know that those dragger friends of yours are doing more damage to the shoals than a thousand windmills will in a thousand years.
P.S. The writers who write about the moon or the stars haven't been to them either.
Get honest with yourself - you're a decent guy being used as the foil of some very nasty rich people who don't give diddly-squat about you or me.

And Maverick and his MERCHANT BOAT buddies are fouling that "last bastion of beauty on the Cape" with excrement which could be easily unloaded on shore for a few of his MERCHANT BOAT dollars.
You're a hypocrite, Maverick - go pee off your charter boat some more.

A bit snobbish of you, don't you think?
I go to Hyannis weekly and dine in splendor at several fine restaurants where the service is impeccable. There are aspects of every family vacation area which appeal to the proles and blue collar folks from working class towns.
How could you live here as long as you say you have and be so ignorant of what you found in Hyannis?
Sounds to me like "the lady doth protest too much."

Spillane is the Hyannis Marina's lawyer - an anti-environmental outfit whose fleet of motor yachts dump more oil in The Sound than anyone except the Steamship Authority and our frinedly, local fishing boats.

What a bunch of selfish cry-babies.

Any loving person can understand the reaction to Falwell's death.
He was evil in the way only a sanctimonious hypocrite can be, and he harmed many good people who didn't happen to "believe" the way he did.
He wrapped himself in a holy robe of Christianity to do countless hateful and unchristian things.
May he meet Osama Ben Laden in Hell.

Nothing became you more than your absense...

Best of all, who will hire Nickerson or Vinick after their deceitful years spent stopping renewable energy off our coast?

Don't blame you Monponsett. With your waistline you'll need a double-wide at least.

I'll let you park on MY lawn for only $20. if you don't bring "the colonel".

Fellas and gals, haven't you figured out that these anti-wind vigilantes (Dona, Durkin & Good) have no "facts", only the BIG LIE repeated over and over ahgain.
CW is blessed to have such idiotic and phony opponents.

Hey Jack, what's wrong with 5-to-1 odds?
Sounds like you don't want to take Imco35's bet.

Thanks for reminding us. My wife asked that same question this morning, "why didn't she leave him", and I tried to empathise with the battered woman, but couldn't begin to really understand Ann Gryboski's fear. I guess "you have to be there", and I thank God no one in my family ever has.

Any delay in the building oc Cape Wind will only bring more and more of these;

67 more tons of sulfur dioxide and 41 more tons of nitrogen oxide pumped into New England's air, resulting in three additional emergency room visits, 58 additional asthma attacks, and $600,000 in extra health care costs.
61,156 more tons of carbon dioxide emissions from New England power plants, equivalent to adding 14,500 cars onto the road and worsening global warming that is causing sea levels to rise and is eroding the coastline of Cape Cod and the Islands...

This is a wonderful blog... what depth, what beauty, what crisp writing, what...

CW will be pumping perpettual. clean, renewable energy in August '10 just in time for Cape Cod to avoid a massive blackout which closed businesses from Florida to Maine as global warming took a real toll of America's economy.

"A billion here, a billion there - pretty soon you're talking about 'real money'."
Senator Everett Dirksen (R-IL) over thirty years ago.

Capemom be right - I remember when cc mall first opened it had many "local" businesses nestled among the chain stores.
My fav back then was Cambridge Tea & Spice which despite the name was owned by a marvelous and ample Cape Cod grande dame whose "handle" back in those CB days was "Cunning Stunt".
Ah, those were the days my friend...

YIKES !!! I took Spyro's advise and just got the Eye-Talian Roast at Buckies and I don't need the Viagra !!!

Isn't it great to know that some Cape Codders care more about doing whatever we can right here and right now to reduce global wsrming than protecting an old, powerful politician's ocean view.

We just know the vigilantes will read Mark Rodgers' letter in the Times today;

Full ID helps interpret comments

A March 20 article about a public meeting held by the Cape Cod Commission reported comments made by Mark Weissman, who identified himself as a board member of the Massachusetts Marine Fisheries Commission.

Mr. Weissman stated that Cape Wind’s final environmental impact report neglected to mention dredging Horseshoe Shoal, which Mr. Weissman incorrectly claimed would be needed to create access for a construction barge used in installing the wind turbines. Mr. Weissman went on to speculate about damage such dredging would cause.

The reason Cape Wind’s final environmental impact report makes no mention of dredging Horseshoe Shoal is that no dredging is needed for a construction barge to access the wind turbine locations.

When Mark Weissman introduced himself at this event as a public official, he neglected to also mention that he is a paid consultant to the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound.

Capri, you've gone from a zealot to a dunce - since when is it "an endorsement of vandalism and theft" to obey the town's laws?
You vigilantes have the "Big Lie" down pat;
War is Peace.
Death is Life.
Obeying laws is vandalism.
Wind Power is not renewable energy.

You're nuts. Did you even bother to "read" my comment, or does the "Big Lie" only work by mindless, ditto-head repetition.

The Alliance could give lessons in "rude and uncivil"!! They've been plastering Anti-Cape Wind signs on town property.
This morning I spoke with Mr. Andy Arnault of the Town of Yarmouth’s Buildings & Inspections department. He is in charge of signage & enforcement… He says that NO BODY has the right to place signs on the town owned property.
Signs such as political signs during elections are allowed on town property (outside of I think- 150’ of the voting area) the day of the election… Otherwise NO other signage temporary or otherwise is allowed or permitted.
I asked if anyone could remove the signs… He did not recommend it as he thought it could result in possible confrontations and did not advise it – he could not stop us but would rather have the PD or the town take appropriate action.
In the future it would be advisable for "good citizens' to contact his office ahead of time to alert him and he will take appropriate action to see the ordinance is enforced.

Insult? Hell, it's obvious the commish is playing politics fast and loose in an area which doesn't concern them so the papers will give them ink.
Chris is rational and right.

How about the Burger King on the Highway and Barnstable General Store only a little better with C's !!!

Somebody at Ottaway's HQ in Campbell Hall NY or Dow Jones propably sent the word down to the serfs in Haynnis that they should cool it since the project is about to get a green light from everyone with a modicum of intelligence, and gas will be over $3 a gallon by summer, plus the paper's circulation is going south while the population is going north.

As Cynthia Stead wrote in CCTimes on 9-21-06;
.. The sharpest illustration of culture clash came in the Fourth Barnstable primaries to replace Rep. Shirley Gomes, who chose to remain uninvolved in the primaries. Chatham candidates Andy Buckley and Ron Bergstrom came late to the race, compared to their opponents, who had been campaigning since last fall. Ray Gottwald, the more conservative Democrat, lost, as did Don Howell, the more liberal Republican 9 (although a recount is in progress).

The two final contenders come from the edges of their parties. While both are gay, they could not be further apart on issues. Sarah Peake supports gay marriage, while Aaron Maloy opposes it. Maloy is strongly pro-life, while Sarah Peake is pro-choice. Indeed, both candidates saw a strong degree of out-of-district donations as the Right and Left turn the race into a chess match dominated by larger forces, not necessarily of primary concern to Fourth Barnstable voters.

Or was that Peter Porcupine?

Absolutely right, Dona - they are much more beautiful and elegant. You of all people know that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

As I’m sure your readers are acutely aware by now, there is no room for debate with any of these anti-wind farm vigilantes.
They made their mind up before any review that this does not fit in with their idea of use in Nantucket Sound.
They will never, ever be supportive of any wind turbines in Nantucket Sound period.
As far as I’m concerned they are a huge waste of time but since you have a blog with potential comments you will continue to be plagued.
They don’t trust NEPA, MEPA or any agency that determines any thing favorable regarding the project.
You are really wasting your breath.

Everyone should ask Barbara Durkin how many primary & vacation houses she and her husband own?
How much money have they both contributed to the Alliance.
How much have they both spent in opposition to the Cape Wind project?
Even how many trophy homes has she (as a general contractor) has built for various Egan real estate enterprises?

You are crazy to get involved with these NIMBYs who spend their days and nights trying to jam this site with the half-truths and the slush-fund financed harrangues of the Alliance to Protect Nantcket Sound.
Haven't you noticed that they don't blog themselves, but only try to save the precious view of the wealthy few who may see the wind farm on one day in six given our weather and sea conditions.

I can. Canoe?
Gee, brilliant idea. A billion dollar casino isn't enough, let's give our indians Nantucket Sound too.
Every knows how much time they used to spend 7 miles offshore paddling around Horseshoe Shoals in their birchbark canoes?

Capri, you are full of bull dung, and you are fully aware that you are spreading half-truths and bareface mis-information at the behest of the wealthy and powerful oily oligarths of Osterville. You knoe it, and we know it.
Read back over your last 200+ comments and you'll see, as we all do, a pattern of backbiting buffalo chips passing themselves off as facts.
You are already a bore and becoming the laughing stock of this online community.
Go put some fresh newspaper on the bottom of your verbal birdcage.

(Chorus)
Ah'm a Cro-Magnon that I know you'll like,
But Peake is simply a Troglo-dyke

You people should rename your newspaper "Cape Times".

What's this "we-sh*t", paleface?
From what I see here, Monpo is more dangerous than Estanislao, Cochise, Kientepoos, Tecumseh, Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph, Geronimo and Sitting Bull combined!
