In response to: Health Care or Health Scare ?
Interesting point Mary. When Mass. forced everyone to have insurance I was forced to find a new doctor because the one I had at the time didn't take the insurance I could afford. So I went shopping for a new doctor, what did I find? "Sorry we are not accepting any new patients with your type of insurance." I finally did find a doctor but I really don't like him, but guess what Mary? I can't go anywhere else. So do I have a choice?

You might find this link interesting that according to Canada's own Health Ministry the waiting time for knee-replacement is 195 days.

In response to: Health Care or Health Scare ?
Boy, talk about a one sided article! You don't mention how much Winnie pays in taxes for health care per year. Nor do you mention how long the knee replacement waiting list is on Cape Cod.(my guess is that there isn't one)

In response to: Dennis Village Improvement Society Endorses Christy's, Yet NIMBYism and Other "Issues" Persist
Hey Christy,
Next time you're driving through Eastham, why don't you stop and take a look at that eyesore right on route 6 aka the old Neighborhood gas location. I can picture a nice brand new c-mart in that location, ya know, just in case the Dennis one doesn't pan out.

In response to: TREASON
Let me rephrase that last sentence: I have a hard time blaming just Bush and Cheney after the facts if they (and the majority of others) really felt what they were doing was the right thing at the time.

In response to: TREASON
This article just proves that hindsight is 20/20. It's always easier to look back and say we shoulda done this shouldn't have done that. I have a hard time blaming someone after the facts if they (and the majority of others) really felt what they were doing was the right thing at the time.

In response to: Rep. Patrick's position on the gas tax
Bittersweet, since when is saying the truth an insult? Oh, right, when it doesn't agree with you.

In response to: Rep. Patrick's position on the gas tax
Ever notice how when you ask a liberal to back up their statement with facts all you get is silence? They're so used to everyone in this state just accepting what they say as fact that when they have to actually back it up with facts they don't know what to do.

Matt, you think this is bad? Wait'll you guys pass the gas tax. Then see how loved you and everyone who voted for it are. You guys have no clue!

In response to: Christy Mihos does it again, big time
OK Nobody's asking the tough question here: Can we still get whoopie pies once the changeover is done?

In response to: Joe the Plumber on The Vineyard; Times lays off 6 in newsroom; Majority Leader lied about Cape house; Town legal budget skyrockets; Exxon's record profits
I haven't subscribed to the CCT for some time and every now and then I'll pick one up to see if I'm missing anything. Nope, most of the stories are from the previous days AP or the other newswires, stuff I've already read for free.So they really are "old" news!

In response to: Hyannis Circuit City to remain empty for an undetermined period of time
Murrbuck,
At 23,500 sq ft it's too small for a Walmart, according to Wikipedia they average between 51,000 up to 224,000 sq. ft.

In response to: Obama Scores on McCain's Turf
Possee, you might want to redo your math-- 85 Billion divided by 200 million is only 425.00 not what you stated.

Possee, I don't think each person will get as much money as you think...

In response to: Delahunt's reasons for voting against bailout
Ummm, I think you mean "billion" if it were only 700 million this would be a non issue

In response to: President Palin
Blah, blah, blah. This is like listening to two kids fight on a playground... "My Dad can beat up your Dad" "Oh yeah? well my Dad is taller than your Dad." Why don't you act like grown ups and talk about where these people stand on the issues?

In response to: Looking At The Numbers Doesn't Calm Me Down Much
Possee, If it took 10 gallons of milk or 10 boxes of cereal just to get to and from work every week maybe then you'd see the outrage.

In response to: Looking At The Numbers Doesn't Calm Me Down Much
I was in Amherst this past weekend and gas way out there was 3.82 per gallon at Cumbys. Came back to the Cape and gas was 4.17 at our local Hess.

In response to: TV Commercials: Better than Ever
"Comcast also scores well by having an entire family: man, woman, child, dog, cat and flea on cat exclaim "Wow!" when they first see the clarity of an HD television picture."

That's actually Verizon FiOs, guess they didn't score too well if you can't even remember who the commercial is for.
