It's good the rally is at WalMart - they are discounting the Sarah Palin "best seller" at $8.98 two days after publication.

R-Five, Permoc and Dinbat (well named) must be a couple of Lush Rimjob and Grim Beck and Ann Coulter do-do heads repeating the same anti-racial, anti-American hatreds we heard spewed when our country lost its bid two weeks ago for the 2016 Olympics.

Sick, sick puppies.

Try putting all that together for $78 at home - plus the cooking - it's a deal, and the kids are $18 for all they can eat.
My kids can do that with desserts alone.

poor permoc, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth.
As a 21st century Luddite he's a failure too since he should first have objected to the huge derricks on the beach wiping out more beach grass in one minute than his kids will trample in their lifetimes.
Crawl back under your rock.

In your poll last week about older drivers, 67% voted to retest at age 75 whereas our wimp legislators are pretending to have retesting at 85.
Forgetaboutit - they'll never go against their owners, the AARP.

Same with The Cape Codder, although it will probably be destroyed by GateHouse's insane plan for a summertime daily produced by the same overworked people.

I guess I'll have to end my affair with Miss Piggy.

I believe the point Brooks is making is that everyone is pissed at health insurance companies and Mihos created his own business and ran it with great success as opposed to being another overpaid C.E.O.
The story also runs a puff piece for Baker in a smarmy city mag which few would have seen if Brooks hadn't included it here, so whose nose is up whose whatever.

Isn't Way's almost across the street from the CC Times? Maybe they can send Yao Ming over to check it out for them.

Billy, that's a terrible thing to say - they did it for the ONION RINGS and the 28 flavors of Soft Serve Ice Cream.

We are blessed by the Audubon's presence here.
Like the seas which surround us, we seldom pay homage to its greatest.
During these difficult times it is especially important for all Cape Codders to support those among us like the Wellfleet Sanctuary of the Mass. Audubon.
John James Audubon himself once said, "A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children."
Today is the time to ensure that The Audubon is here for them.

Crusader uses classic communist logic - The State must own everything, Capitalism is evil. Too bad the government didn't let her run the Mustang Ranch when the Feds took over that whorehouse in 1990. The State couldn't even stay in business selling babes and booze - imagine what it would do with Cape Wind !
Did,'t our own Repeople Republic of Massachusetts build "The Big Dig"?
That's what The State does when it runs things.
If The State built Cape Wind it would increase the gas tax again to pay for its overstaffed and inefficient operation whereas a Private Business PAYS taxes and if it is not popular it pays for its failure, not us.

Saab is a superb machine. It will survive and it will prosper, especially when Sweden owns it again.

As readership shrinks, further cuts will reduce local content, and readership will shrink again until the newspaper is so small no one will pay 50 cents for it and it will end. As the column above states, they're on the slippery slope and doomed.

I'll bet my new toupe that Katie is just being rhetorical as well as helpful and has no problem at all getting a job herself.

John Cleese:
This Chicken is no more. It has ceased to function. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's a stiff. If it wasn't nailed to the road it'd be pushing up daisies. It's snuffed it. It's metabolic processes are now history. It's bleeding demised. It's rung down the curtain, shuffled off the mortal coil and joined the bleeding Choir Invisible. This is an Ex-Chicken. Ergo, it did not cross the road.

With your liberal leanings - can you understand why these people want to keep their kids in the 'hood? We spent most of the 60's and 70's working to provide equal education opportunities for everyone - integration, busing...etc. Martin Luther King died so these parents could send their kids to an integrated school in a safe neighborhood.
Why is it that 30 years later they want to keep their kids on the reservation, so to speak? They prefer to celebrate "culture" rather than teach the kids to read.

Did you ever read Bill Cosby's speech at Howard University on the anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education? He blasted the black community for their parenting, education values...etc. He caught holy hell for it but I think he was absolutely right. Here's the link to his speech;

Peter Cohen, do you really think that fossil fuels are limitless?
Do you believe that the price for oil and natural gas (thus your electric bill) will not continue to rise forever unless we break the cycle of dependence on finite resources which our enemies control?
Get a grip, man. America is ready to have a renewable energy revolution and Tories like Kenney, Kennedy, Delahunt and Wattley are the enemy.

God, are you people listening??? Were you awake during the Presidential campaigh???
The murderers who bombed us on 9/11 and are killing our young soldiers today are ALL funded by Arab Oil money which YOU and I gave them because we're too self-centered, selfish and unpatriotic to be willing to make WHATEVER sacrifices are necessary to Free ourselves from foreign oil FOREVER.
Ted Kennedy won't sacrifice his ocean view.
Peter Kenney won't go to work so he won't need to lick the boots of his masters at The Alliance.
And you are concerned about you God damned LIGHT BILL !!!

Your beauty surpasses your lyricism, but they're both lovely. I enjoy your poetry page in the Wareham Observer every week too.

Great idea - the Cape's county seat needs an independent, locally-owned weekly, and there are none better than The Enterprises.

Good God that woman's stupid.
She's an embarrassment to civil discourse.
She isn't even aware that if a business doesn't make a profit it will cease to exist and its employees will be out of work.
Crusader is the last communist on Cape Cod. If she doesn't shut up I'll tell the world who this Somerville sadsack is.

The reason for Pat Cassidy's phony story in today's CC Times becomes apparent - they and the Alliance and Delahunt knew the MMS report would be issued in a day and they wanted to try to destroy its credibility, and moribund old media like The Herald quickly picked up their lies.
Thank God for cc2day and the Web to save America from these out-of-date a-holes.

Nice job, CC Times - you carry on your traditions of incompetence, cupidity and cunning.

If the Globe's Editors wonder why Kennedy is stopping the wind farm, they should read their own archives on the 1962 debate between Ted and his first opponent Massachusetts AG Edward McCormick.

During the debate McCormick said, "If your name was Edward Moore instead of Edward Moore Kennedy, your candidacy would be a farce."

For the next decade McCormick was persona non grata in the Democratic party and frozen out of any offices or appointments.

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 the old country Irish reply to any enemy. The reason Kennedy is stopping America's renewable energy revolution - "BECAUSE HE CAN."

If her name was Caroline Schlossberg instead of Caroline Kennedy her candidacy would be a farce.

In the same week that Illinois Governor Blogojevich was setting new depths for political corruption, our own Congressman and Senator did about the same thing in their underhanded efforts to stop America's renewable energy revolution.
No money changed hands in either case - just blatant disregard for their constituents and self-seeking while on the taxpayer's payroll.
What a bunch of scoundrels.

Christy, "what's the rush?"
That's SO unlike you - it's been over 7 years, two complete, 17 separate agency Federal examinations, countless sneaky beneath the radar moves by you, the Alliance, Kennedy and Delahunt to protect your OWN ocean view.
Come on, this ain't the Christy I voted for two years ago talking.
Is this the same businessman who wants local towns to approve his new stations in a timely manner?

Maybe the janitors are worth it and the DAs aren't.
You get what you pay for in life... and in court.

What puzzles me even more is why these skin-heads bother to comment or read cc2day. If they don't like it, why don't you go away and stop annoying all us rational and polite types?

The food IS great at the Tavern too, but last Saturday Chatham Bars Inn hosted a pumpkin carving demonstration for local kids and over 150 when home with free pumpkins and prizes.
This company rocks.

One real possibility is that these excellent weeklies will each be bought and run by a local Cape Codder in the towns they cover - like it used to be when newspapers dominated the media.
No regional daily or other media will ever cover Chatham the way the Chronicle does or Falmouth the way the Enterprise has done for generations.

Careful, DemocRANT, you're letting your bias show - why aren't you commenting on all the others who are higher than Christy?
Give us a break, especially if you expect us to read you own rants with an open mind.
Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart.

Windy Numcross is a sad example of the "garbage in, garbage out" school of economics which she apparently learned during her two years at 4Cs.

Eric is simply "double-dipping like all the Beacon Hill pols. He's getting a $55k pension from taxpayers as a retired Rep, and now he wants to add $110k more a year to it to build it up for the six year Registrar term then retire a second time maxed out on your money.
And he doesn't know squat about running the Registrar's office.

Is H2B anything other than a way to exploit foreign workers at the expense of unemployed Americans?
If Cape businesses were forced to pay a living wage to waiters and bed-makers, wouldn't that make the playing field level for all.

It will be amusing once again to see how long our un-local daily newspaper will fail to cover this important first amendment challenge.
And when they finally do cover it, will they be their usual snide self about other local media, or will they attempt to remember their Columbia Journalism School training and fight for a colleague under threat?

Paul and cctoday, you continue to lead the way.
This is exactly what online video should look and sound like. I can't wait to see the next ones.
Who do you have on tap?

The DA's "cover-up" begins - just like the Gryboski case.

Such unions which are childless, but they are not fruitless...

A comment on that Bus.Week article by Lew Dabney stated, "Jim Gordon is a hero; Bill Koch is a playboy-bum who can't see beyond his nose. I know because I sold him a magazine which he promptly ruined.No oil man should be allowed near Nantucket. With respect to hizzoner, Ted Kennedy is being played for a fool by the south Cape Cod billionaires, because he knows full well that a wind farm would be vital to his energy-poor home state and the country--- and he is an environmentalist, snowed by the NIMBY cape cod oil tycoons. A pox on all their houses.

For visitors from "out of town," what we have here and on most comment zones or blogs dealing with Cape Wind is an organized crew of anti-wind apparatchik types, taking orders from a faux-Green front group of rich NIMBYs and Big Oil and Big Coal industrialists with other agendas beyond (and beneath) Cape Wind.

When offered their own blog here by a Cape Cod Today editor two years ago, the "gang" said their leaders (back on the Mother Ship?)said "No go," apparently preferring a guerilla blog hit squad to reasonable conversations "on topic." It's just a lot of "noise" to mask any "signals."

Their tactic is to insert lengthy off-topic anti-wind snippets out of context and lace their posts with vituperative irrelevance to drive away opinions, pro or con, legitimizing these discussions. Peter Kenny is their current High Priest of Perfidy.

If you wish to comment, simply ignore them and "write through." They are harmless visitors from another planet wishing to raise Earth's CO2 levels to habituate our world to their species. Let 'em all "come on down." Welcome to Earth!

Jon, everything you carp about is covered in the Op Ed above - Cape Wind will be paying a licensing fee to the Feds like the Oil drillers are "supposed to" but usually forgiven by the GOP when in control.Do you really believe our energy debacle can be fixed by depending on American to add a turbine of solar panel on every home?
Pollyanna would be jealous of your thinking.

Hardee’s fast food cancels their 1,420-calorie Thickburger burger with 107 grams of fat and will introduce a smaller, more efficient 3.6 Turbine burger.
Early commercials during the Thickburger campaign made a point of acknowledging and apologizing for the poor quality of Hardee's past cuisine and service. Later commercials demonstrated adults attempting to fit their mouths around the large Thickburger. One of the first commercials had Ex-Baseball player Mark McGwire advertising the Thickburger, a.k.a. . The campaign will end around summer 2008, which marks the chain to add all of the same menu items as Carl's Jr. and replacing it with the Charbroiled Burgers name.

Maverick, instead, why don't YOU explain to the widows and orphans from 9/11 "how one wind factory" doesn't NOT offer a choice and a start to end our dependence on Arab oil. You're a sailor ans you KNOW that wind turbines and other structures beneath the sea attract fish and lobsters, and if you can't manage to NOT ram your scow into a 400 foot high structure, you should stay on shore.

Gimme a break, Jeff. You know that the Republicans have so little power on Beacon Hill you don't even have your own key to the men's room.
The top item on the GOP agenda is to get Sal DiMasi to give them some two-ply toilet paper.

If I'd had sportswriters like Leah when I was at the Times I never would have left the cape. Congratulations on a major scoop.

The issue has always been "power vs. people". Ted Kennedy's power and the wealthy shore front property owners vs. anything which may intrude on their please... like a renewable wind farm to generate energy NOT imported from Arabia.

HORSE FEATHERS ! Scott also wrote, "It's a delicate balancing act. Include too much local news and you risk accusations of being provincial. Too much national news and readers decry the lack of local flavor. Again, this is a process that is more art than science. And it is truly an art to make a good first impression."
That's bullshit, Scott - every word which not local is a waste of subscriber's money. It's simply cheaper to file the pages with wire stories we all saw yesterday on CNN or the Web than to have local reporters doing it right.

That's guy in the car looks like Seth Rolbein "takin' the pipe"...

How can you tell if she writes well??? I can't stop looking at her photo... definitely non-cape looker and beautiful.

Four or more shots to stop a disabled man???
That is the State's Attorney General doing about this travesty of justice??

Not just cool, hilariously sacrilegious as well.

Peter, get back on your meds
1. Who is "Mark"?
2. There were a hundred stories 18 months ago about Ted Kennedy's direct involvement in attempting to block Cape Wind.
The first was through Rep Young and Senator Stevens to amend the Coast Guard reauthorization bill to prevent it, and the second when he got Senator Warner to do the same.
It is you who should do his homework. Search the archives of this site for the facts. They're free.
And can anyone remember when Kennedy worked this well with his own party?

Kenney is a cross between G. Gordon Liddy and Ted Baxter.
Very cross.

One of your links about " All the President's Powers led me to this;

...Still, Cheney has tried to elevate the presidency to heady new heights. For the genesis of his unorthodox thinking, Savage goes back to 1987. Congress had investigated the Iran-contra affair and concluded that, by flouting its ban on funding for the contras, Oliver North and his helpers exemplified ''disdain for the law.'' As a member of the joint House and Senate Iran-contra committee, Cheney signed up Addington and others to write an alternate report, Savage explains, which ''declared that the real lawbreakers were Cheney's fellow lawmakers, because the Constitution 'does not permit Congress to pass a law usurping presidential power.''' At the time, this seemed merely nutty. But two years ago, when The New York Times broke the story that the National Security Agency was conducting widespread surveillance without warrants, Cheney told reporters that the president had all the power he needed to bypass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, one of his least favorite post-Watergate statutes. To explain why, he

I guess when you are willing to pay $33,150 for a single bottle of wine, then $96 per barrel of oil is chickenfeed.

It will be amusing to see if they EVER report on your Kennedy-Kerry-Stevens airport scoop today. These pols have the daily in your pocket.

Congrats you muckraking scamp ! The daily finally reported your scoop.
What you wanna bet they take credit for it.
P.S. They managed NOT to point out the DA broke the law by NOT reporting the thefts.

The staff is nothing but petty bureaucrats throwing their illegal weight around.
They are disgusting and selfish and stay in the way of our state's energy revolution.

His bio says he is an Assistant Professor of English and African/ African American Studies at UMass Dartmouth and the Chairman of Education for the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe.
If he represents the leadership, no wonder the tribe is trouble !

Twg, I guess we know who's pocket you're in. By your logic Peter is "selling" an online newspaper which is free, and he's indulging HIS own self by revealing a nest of vipers in YOUR family.
And of course he does all this out in the open while you hide behind an alias.
If you think you're fooling the honest members of the tribe, you are sadly mistaken.
Does TWG stands for "This Would be Glenn"?

WOW ! A newspaper willing to give credit to another source.
What a radical idea... shouldn't someone tell the Cape Cod Times about this? It might start a trend in that benighted, frightened and oh, so-sorry old media.

That sort of explains Charlie Vinick's sudden departure for Washington DC. The Alliance had to get him out of town before the oil hit the fan.

What about slots at our four racetracks?
They are left out of Patrick's plan.
At least Senate President Therese Murray of Plymouth/Cape Cod is among the key supporters of casinos, but House Speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi is still "publicly" opposed to casinos.

Isn't this what happens when "new" media makes "old" media look dim?
30 years ago Boston Phoenix was an "alternative" newspaper. It's become like it's aging readers, old and almost main stream.
"Sic transit gloria media"

In your first two posts here you sound like a Glenn Marshall apologist. I would suggest that you are destroying any credibility you may have left in the tribe and with us bad white men.

Whatever prominence or reputation you possess should be used to get rid of all the cronies Marshall stuffed on the Exec. Committee so none on it would be educated or worldly enough to question his malfeasance or even know their own rights and obligations as board members. That especially means both of the Hendricks. There are tribe members with a college education and more importantly with a successful business experience. Academia is fine, but you are entering the business world now.

If you aren't "bent", you would be such a man, not such an Indian man, simply such an American man.

But keep scribbling ; Peter Kenney needs a foil.

I thought that after his article Sunday, at least CC Times reporter George Brennan would have the guts to credit cctoday and Peter Kenney for bringing down the tyrant.
Come on, George, you're better than the rest of those wimps, give credit where credit is due - finally.

Dan, the answer is simple; everyone here in the Times checks this online newspaper several times daily - they just don't have the class to be honest about their sources.

If you think your daily newspaper is worthless today, wait until you see what Gannett does to newspapers.

Has the newspaper business become like a nervous friend who jumps at every noise while you shrug it off?

The latest noise came from Gannett, the nation’s largest newspaper company. On Thursday, it filed papers with the Securities and Exchange Commission that included a new change-of-control plan, one that would accelerate payments to top executives in the event of a corporate takeover.

That set off alarms among some analysts and reporters, not to mention Gannett employees. What did Gannett management know that the rest of us didn’t? After the takeovers of Dow Jones & Company and Knight Ridder, and a proposed buyout of the Tribune Company, it seemed to make sense that next in line might be Gannett, publisher of 85 daily newspapers in this country, including USA Today.

In CC Voice last week, Calouro said;

Protecting Nantucket Sound from wind power - but not sewage?

Moses Calouro wants to "fire a shot across the bow" of those who oppose a wind farm in Nantucket Sound, and he figures his firepower comes in the form of unlikely questions:

Why are some of the biggest opponents of the wind farm dumping sewage into the Sound, a lot of it in the very same area where the wind farm might go?

And why isn’t the "Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound" screaming bloody murder about that – unless their name is just a smokescreen to cover their anti-wind farm activities?

"They keep talking about what a pristine resource Nantucket Sound is, and so there shouldn’t be a renewable resource [wind power] out there," says Calouro. "So let’s talk about that. How is it really being used?

"Dumping sewage is not a pristine way of using it."

This rumor has been around every newsroom on Cape Cod for 3 months, and it took Blanchard to write about it. Even Hyannis News.com did a lengthy piece on it, and still the old media was afraid to ask the DA.

Everyone above the level of reporter will soon be history.

Re: "Some family members have committed to vote in favor of a sale, but others oppose the deal for fear that News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch's style of journalism would damage the integrity of Dow Jones's publications..."

At least there's no possibility of that happening at CCTimes since they have none left ;>)

My observation has been that these "helpful fools" are mostly old farts who haven't got a life who are out making friends and causing mayhem in their wake.

CWN, you guys are HOT ! And I don't mean just the fire.
The coverage on cctoday has improved 100% in the past year and keeps getting better.
Where's that smashing Samantha with her Sound as Sewer series?

Aren't they paying Susan Nickerson over $100,000 a year to curry favor with the media and justify the SOS/Alliance/Soundkeeper postions?
She seems to have a problem with that concept.

CCToday should look into the rest of the strange world of "Klimn's Klowns" in the bizarre burg Barnstable.

Thanks for the tip.
We went a hour ago at your suggestionand it was everything you said.
Margot Russell's complaints about the high prices of Cape Cod restaurants is completely deflated by the Brennan's experience.

Buzz wants to "shoot the messenger."

Sounds like we're getting our own version of a media conglomerate on the Cape.
1.The Times is the only daily newspaper.
2.They get Ottoway (the parent corporation to buy the Nantucket Inquirer & Mirror, and now
3 the Barnstable Patriot weekly.(Who's next, Chatham Chronicle ?)
4.Dow Jone/Ottoway already owns the New Bedford daily, but they keep them from coming over the bridge to compete.
5.The Times leverages their way into public radio, cheaply. The other local radio stations were too expensive to buy even for Dow Jones (deeper pockets).
6.They publiish a general interest monthly magazine, as well as a special interest one.

Thank god they can't figure out the internet.

Is that really Barbara Hill in the top, right box?

We hope that starving French Canadian family knows how lucky they are to have Monponsett around to offer to invite them in for dinner while they are visiting this "gourmet wasteland".

WOW ! Blanchard's Cape Paper. The guy is quite possibly the best newsapaperman to ever hit this sandspit - and easily the laziest.

Back when the circulation was 67,000 there were only 77,000 occuped units and they coverage was nearly 90%.
Now THAT's a huge drop !

Wait till the young reporters at The Times read Wendy's book. Years ago when she worked there Scott Himstead, who was seldom seen in the newsroom, walked by her desk, paused and said, "Miss Williams, one of your stories just got us sued. Keep up the good work." One can not imagine that scenerio today.

The younger journalists in the CC Times newsroom may be distressed at this news, but the management will be hdelighted - after all, when your publisher lives in a $1.2 million home on Wianno Avenue just down the street from former Phelp-Dodge C.E.O. and Alliance founder Doug Yearley's $6.7 million dollar house, it will be "Happy Hour" at the Wianno Club 24/7.

It amazing they have any more reporters left on staff to fire - does anyone recall what a great newspaper The CC Times was a decade ago?

Like like "neurotics", altho the $18 million the oily Osterville crowd has raised has bought a lot of shills.

It's sad to think it will take another Argo Merchant with the wind blowing ashore to wake up the NIMBYs when the own beachfronts are ruined by their selfishness and greed.
It's not even a question of "if" but "when".
And of course wind power isn't the "only" answer, but one a many answers to avoid another 9/11 by freeing our nation from dependence on Arab oil.

Grace Talmage is a great and wonderful woman and a much respected tourism expert. If she chose eCape to succeed her in this, it speaks volumes about the new onwers.

Relax Blog-daddy, the '08 elections will end your hopes when those naughty Liberals (who apparenly can read) put an end to this Bush League know-nothing, anti-intellectualism in Washington.

“There will be at least two types of dredging (and possible blasting) in the Nantucket Sound by the Cape Wind project. The one at issue here is dredging huge channels for the construction boats. The other is dredging the entire area for electrical cables.” 04/13/07 @ 12:09 pm

Dona, please inform us readers of your valued source for this definitive information. You seem quite convinced. In order to take you seriously you really should share the validity in order to document your assertions - Don’t you think? (Or, is the answer a foregone conclusion?)
Have never ever heard of “dredging” in order to lay under-sea cables. Is this a new method that we should be concerned about? I was wondering now: Why didn’t they use your method when they laid the cables to Nantucket recently? It seems you know way more than CW’s engineers about how this project will advance. Tell us more please. Maybe they will hire you as a consultant to share your methodologies.
Or are you just a bag of wind as usual.

Why don't the harpies want to take "NO" for an answer?
Is it because they have no facts and must resort over and over again to "the BIG LIE"?
"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," Mark Rodgers wrote." Cape Cod Times 3/22/07

If the opponents what to challenge that statement prior to permitting or construction or even once it has begun, they have a ball & go for it, and they will only further discredit & embarrass themselve...once again!

A fool and my money are soon parted.

Ned, why call it "sacrilegious"?
Given the state of our planet today, your art seems quite appropriate.

Sorry Sammy, all the girls here in the newsroom have the "hots" for Brad.... he sizzles.

Yes "Fat lady singing", the operative word is "affected", as in assumed artificially; unnatural; feigned: affected sophistication...
You antis are the UN-affected naives.

Why make the "Wamps" give all that money to New Beige or Fall Reeve? Give the Indians back their land we stole from them now called "Massachusetts Military Reservation" ("reservation" - get it?) and keep that BILLION plus the HALF BILLION Rhode Islanders spent on gambling RIGHT HERE ON OLDE CAPE COD !!!
What are we - stupid or something? They're "our Indians" - we're the ones that eff-ed them over, wiped out half the tribe with smallpox-laden "gift blankets", stole their land, and the MMR is state property - we own it.

Too bad the fools and knaves who mis-manage the Compact didn't make a deal with Cape Wind five years ago when they might have gotten Cape Codders a real break in our electricty costs.
Only Jim Gordon's well-known civility and sense of fairness will help us now that our leaders have "fouled their own nests".

Maybe The Alliance didn't return your calls & emails but Susan Nickerson babbled incoherently on WBZ this afternoon about her regret that MEPA and the state didn't check the Cape Wind FEIR "facts".
WOW ! After six years of checking by state agencies through three administrations these Alliance oil-paid flacks are still babbling their foolishness.

My you dream large. That's Princess Diana's garden behind Kensington Palace.

More important, these people are not afraid to take a stanbd, unlike the frightened hacks on the CC Commission who want to "talk the idea to death" so they don't have to stick their necks out.

There's a strange "desperation" to the vigilantes' comments now.
Bye bye bad-bird-babe.

It's especialy funny that Capri-cious thinks that people who disagree with her are "arrogant, rude, uncivil".
Zealots tend to be intolerant of other's opinions.
Give it up, Capri - it's really a done deal - hasn't Charlie or Susan told you yet?
They're only holding on for their $100k peices of silver.

Take it from this "old media type" who knows, it's all over baby.
Cape Wind is aced, and the anti-wind-vigilantes know it too - thus their current rather irrational distress.
It's especialy funny that Capri-cious thinks athat everyone who disagrees with her is "reprehensible" etc.
Zealots tend to be intolerant of other's opinions.

Betcha they'll have it tomorrow 5 days late.
They only rush to print when it's bad news for Cape Wind (sort of like you, Neil).

Where's CC TImes on this? This story was posted three days ago and they still haven't noticed that this crucial report has been published!!!

Too bad it's time for rejoicing when a once-great daily newspaper does fair reporting on issue this vital to Cape Cod.
I wish they'd bring back Bill Breisky long enough to clean up the joint.
