Obama will no doubt go down in history as one of the best presidents ever...

And his predecessor...

One of the worse.

I nominate a gay woman...

Mary Cheney - Dicks daugher.

Make every body ~happy~:

- Republicans
- Dems?
- Women
- Gays

Opps!...
Almost forgot...

What about the blacks?...

I recall Mary being prego back in '04 or so...

Who's the daddio?

What an opportunity for the Town of Barnstable!...

More office space for town hall / engineering / permitting staff?

Heck, why not see if CCCommission wants to get in on the deal...

What's one more property taken off the tax bases?

Even better...

Demolish the building and make 'Green Space' - A nice park in the center of town?...

Maybe build a 'walkway' from this one to the old Gulf station "park" @ the west end of Main St...

Then... A 'walkway' to the old Chili's / Red Coach restaurant property @ the airport rotary...

Then... A 'walkway' to the old Mitchells Steakhouse...

Continue on down to where Mildred's Chowder used to be...

Heck, why not make a 'walkway' around the whole town?...

Showcasing all the properties the town has taken over...

Who needs 'tax base' anyhow?

The winds are shifting and...

Camelot's days are waining.

This just in:

Monpo is an...

ALIEN!

HA! Blabs...

"Research & gather 'evidence'"...

Has been your failing to date as you well know.

For the record...

- Please state what companies that make wind turbines are not interested in supplying their product for CAPE WIND.

- Please state the financing companies that you know are NOT INTERESTED in financing CAPE WIND.

- Please state that you are (seemingly) UNAWARE of the FACT that CAPE WIND has previously been -APPROVED- by the FAA under very similar application for the project.

Here's one to test your knowledge of WIND TURBINES around the world:

"How many vessel collisions per year"... OR -EVER- have happened with offshore WIND TURBINES?

(hint: none / ever)

Barbara... You are embarressing yourself. Stay close to home in Northboro... We YEAR-ROUND residents on Cape Cod are embracing:

CAPE WIND.

Obamha nuts are seemingly ensconced in the sack of the White House (Kennedy) pooch...

As he mentions wind projects offshore of NJ & MD...

And -NOT- off of the coast of the white pawed donee...

The famed 'get out of Chappaquiddick free'...

K-E-N-N-E-D-Y

If this is politics as 'USUAL'...

There will be a...

Revolution...

And an uprising of voices yet to be heard...

Comparable to one in the past...

Guaranteed.

Mav, you dodo head!...

To suggest that a generating facility such as CAPE WIND...

That -does not- use FOSSIL FUELS to generate electrcity...

Thereby REDUCING the amount of FOSSIL FUELS that would normally be used -IF- CAPE WIND not generating FOSSIL FREE electricity...

Does not inherently REDUCE the amount of pollutants that -would be- pumped into the atmosphere by a FOSSIL FUELED plant...

And thereby REDUCING the POLLUTANTS -in-the atmosphere...

Thereby, having a direct effect - AS NOMINAL AS IT IS FOR ~ONE~ WIND FARM.

Hopefully, soon there will be many other wind farms up and down the coastline which will certainly have more and more of an effect in AFFECTING CLIMATE CHANGE in a positive manner.

P.s. There is no "director of Cape Wind"...

Perhaps you meant to say the 'Communications Director'?...

In which case I believe he has stated that CAPE WIND -BY ITSELF- will not have a -Significant- effect on climate change.

P.s. Fact is: Each and every other statement I made is FACT...

Unlike the chum you proffer mate.

The aformentioned businesses...

Rape ply and plunder Nantucket Sound.

Unlike CAPE WIND...

Which will bring:

- A significant reduction in the amount of polluted air we breathe.

- A significant reduction in the amount of MERCURY and other poisonous pollutants that end up in the WATERS we drink, recreate and fish in.

- A significant reduction in the pollutants that end up in the food chain that we and our families injest.

- A FOSSIL FREE energy plant that does not contribute to CLIMATE CHANGE.

- A FOSSIL FREE energy plant that will LESSEN our dependence on foreign countries.

- A FOSSIL FREE energy plant that will not RISK THE LIVES of our Service men & women: Family members & friends.

- A proven increase amount of marine life which will benefit both commercial and recreational fishermen.

- A proven increase in the tourist industry from citizens who want to see the first off-shore wind farm in the USA.

All right...

It's a new day so perhaps the 'remains of... the (yester)day' are...

I forget the rest of the story but...

Mav...

Before you cast the last stone...

Might be a Muslim sent aboard the lifeboat to...

~Negotiate~.

Er wus it "Jeeze"?

What was the line the car salesman oft said in 'Fargo' Buzz?...

"Awe Geeze!"...

Ha!...

Got me with a funny one there Nedski...

You should know.

Wise move APCC...

Welcome to the ever expanding list of...

Forward thinking, prudent, and thoughtful organizations & Cape Cod residents who are embracing the opportunity to have CAPE WIND's turbines...

Grace Nantucket Sound with CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY.

P.s. Love the graphic!...

Surely Susan will blow it up...

Poster size & hang on the wall in her office.

Interesting to note that there is a well respected Nickerson namesake who is I belive related to Susan...

Does strongly support CAPE WIND.

Tried to find the article from a few years back but...

Got older trying to find the old sot!

Um oh mav...

You might want to 'think about' "make(ing) any sense"...

Occassionally.

You do best when you let the wif-e do your thinking & printing.

BTW...

Wally has paid me so much over the years...

I hardly feel the need to post were not for shivering yer timbers mat`e.

Pigmeister doing a fine job of busting you and the other idiots up where I left off...

Love it.

Go Pig!!!

email me my friend will ya? Got a technical question.

Thanks!

Sorry bunny...

But I thought (in my rather occassionally sick mind;~) it was rather...

Comical.

Please don't hold it against me...

The boat... Er the car for that matter.

If Christy promises not run with Dougie Bennett as Lt. Guv on the ticket...

I might actually consider supporting the guy now that he has made all that dough from the sale of the (famous woopie pie) mini-marts & has enough cash for a serious run...

Heck, maybe theres even room for a Cape Wind type on board...

I mean let's face it by the time he gets in office those babys will be...

Spinning!

What do we appreciate?...

"Now Peck, Republican nor Democratic ways are not to blame for the worlds ills. To the point we let pundits & special interests stir up non-issues to eclipse the real issues, is the degree to which our governance become not in our best interests & devolved into graft."

"Letting complex rules of business be passed with out debate from intelligent opposing view points, is the degree to which we are all guilty of not paying enough attention."

'You talkin' to me?'...

I wus bitching about the Times & the fact that they & the D'alliance are inextricably linked...

I thought... My first mistake?

Yur minimanifesto went right over my head. No more thinking for me!

And a LOT older too.

Make no mistake in accepting the Times 'retraction' for the truth of the matter:

Yesterdays monstrously gigantic 7&1/2' high CAPE WIND transmission cable ‘gaff’ was published intentionally -as printed-...

It was another 'plant' by them to hopefully let the seed of fear-mongering germinate in the minds of the gullible & uninformed. And, has been part of the Times & the despicable cabals propaganda scheme from day one.

The Times & the D'alliance are on the 'same page'...

Remember: Times publisher Peter Meyer lives on Wianno Ave in Osterville; and he, along with the cabal would prefer to DENY us the opportunity for cleaner air, water, food & employment opportunities.

Mr. Meyer has not shown the courage to date, in his trusted position to demonstrate the integrity & honesty one would expect from the paper...

It has been hijacked by the millionaire & billionaire backed selfish self-serving (-THEIR- VIEW) interests of his neighbors & politicos who -DO NOT 'represent' the majority of their constituents best interests...

Who support CAPE WIND.

In case you missed it Mr. Doherty:

Thanks Ana, 'preciate the thought...

Please tell management!...

Time 2 time this poster is egg & tamatoed for something they call "conduct unbecoming" or (if that is possible?) worse!

Speaking of "egg"...

Just had this thought...

'Rotten eggs' come to mind & the upcoming meeting of the CCC to get 'public imput'...

They will only accept written comments or speakers -directly- related to whether or not CAPE WIND meets the 'terms & conditions' of their what is it?...

'Cape Cod master plan' or something like that.

I find it more than interesting...

That each & every time the Army Corps & MMS etc held public hearings the D'alliance cabal would rant & spew their venom about anything BUT what was the topic at hand...

Now we have the CCC -RESTRICTING- free speach???

Don't know about you but I plan on attending this "public hearing".

P.s. I may have a certain odor.

Yeah piggie...

I know all about Capt. Jack/Maverick.
He's a harmless old fart... Er I mean salt.

But in a way yer wrong on the account of a "motivation" there mate`...

Mav has just swallowed the chum from Blabs & the D'alliance hook-line-sinker...

To this day he can't come to grips with the FACT that CAPE WIND will increase his business as well as increase the # of fish caught in ACK Sound...

He in love with the blonde she-devil Durkin and suckered by her "siren call".

In fact he a pretty smart fellow but at this point (he like 80yo) some of his tackle not connected so well to the reel many a day...

Don't know piggie...

All I know...

Is I can hardly wait to see some more -REALLY- (velly) interesting news on our very own Cape Cod Commission and their attempts to fight the CAPE WIND project...

The -ONE- most economic & environmentally significant project on Cape Cod since the National Seashore.

Opps!... (see I told you: They -ARE- keeping a watchful eye on us near do wells;)

Back on topic b4 a nap:

One of these days perhaps CCToday will do a piece on the folly of the CCTimes biased reporting & the (over 100?) editorials they have published against CAPE WIND...

A shameful travesty in "journalism" if there ever was.

bobcat...

You dolt.

Sorry to blow you out of the water but I have been out of town for three days & have not had the 'pleasure' of responding to you lame posts.

Tell you what... Reach out for WB or one of his guardian women types who monitor the site and love to toss my *ss from this site for (I am told) conduct 'unbecoming'...

Hard to believe, I know.

I am quite sure they will confirm the -fact- that piggi & I bear no 'resemblance' in any manner or manners either.

So pluck off... Jerky boy.

Too tired to play with you right now so piggy...

Please do the honors...

Thanks.

"poppycock"???

Interesting that...

- Army Corps of Engineers
- DOI's Minerals Management Service
- MA Dept. of Enviornmental Affairs
- MA office of Coastal Zone Management
- United States Coast Guard
- Federal Administration Agency
- MA Audubon
- Dozens of -respected- environmental groups
- Many Senators & Representatives
- The Governor of our State
- Over 84% of MA residents
- Over 74% of Cape Cod residents

And now the State office of Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) has approved CAPE WIND...

With all this approval and/or support...

Of... CAPE WIND.

The D'alliance to 'protect' -THEIR- VIEW...

Trashes each of these agencies, organizations and individuals.

Saying they are 'on the take' or rushed the approval process (8years now) or bent the rules or law or are just plain stupid.

Is it any wonder the cabal gets -NO- respect from anyone?

They are shameful & disgusting.

Maverick... I realize you are ignoring the -FACTS- I pointed out on Chuck Kleekamps post so to repeat:

I'll share this with you...

One more time:

"Electric rates in West Texas decrease" (yeah, go down)
Prices down, production is up ... What's next?
Saturday, February 28, 2009
Electric rates available to West Texans are less expensive, on average, than they were two years ago.
In addition, residential rates offered in Abilene and San Angelo are among the lowest in the deregulated parts of Texas -- in contrast to two years ago when West Central Texans were paying some of the highest rates in the state.
Energy experts point to several factors that may have caused prices in this region to drop faster than they have elsewhere:
• Increased wind energy production.
• Competition between electric providers.
• The lack of an advanced meter program, for which customers in other parts of the state pay a surcharge.

http://www.reporternews.com/news/2009/feb/28/power-trip-prices-down-production-is-up-whats/

-All- your questions have been answered...

Truthfully.

Heya somebunny!... Thanks.

P.s. Whatchabeendoin?... Send a note.

So funny to see you note succinctly what most us earlier commenters have picked up over the years piggie...

Blabs loves to cut & paste all kinds of (crap) stuff out of this 'n that...

And when you actually do go and check out most of what she quotes...

It...
More often than not...
Refutes her basic premise.

I don't have the time nor inclination to point it out time and again...

Other paid letter writers use the same lines of BS too...

So my friend...
Have some (a lot) of fun with this (fake blonde) woman...

Who professes to be ~only~ concerned for the sake of 'ol Cape Cod...

While living in Northboro...
The adjacent town of one of the incorporators of the D'alliance to 'Protect' the -VIEW of the FEW-...

Richard Egan...
Who just happens to live in Southboro...

(And she has -NO-... business/financial/personal relationship with the man... Go figure)

Billionaire & part-time resident of none other than OYSTER HARBORS... Osterville's gated community.

As Mav likes to say:
"Hmmmmmmm"?

Mav...

I asked you (at least once)...

When are the blues running?

After all...

I told you the FACT...

CAPE WIND...

Not...

Going to...

DREDGE...

Unlike your fishing buddies do.

FESS UP!...

Got a hankerin fer blue.

Whoa piggie!...

We got us a PRO-WIND...

-PIG-...

On -OUR- side!

You go guy/girl...

FACTOID!

:~)

Sorry to blow you outta yer boat mav...

I, nor my significant (I might add) other have any financial interest in, nor stand to gain one DIME from CAPE WIND being built nor its ultimate success.

Regardless...

If you consider CW "an extension of everything that has put this country in the trash heap."...

Just what do you consider what the FOSSIL FUEL industry has done for...

-US-?

And...
The AIR we breath...
The WATER we drink...
The FOOD (& FISH) we eat...
Tell me that.

You are blinded by the FACT that we -ARE- poisoning ourselves...

By...
BURNING FOSSIL FUELS...
To the degree we do.

We must...
Start somewhere:
CAPE WIND...
Is a START.

P.s. Not much I resent or take offence in the way of comment; but to suggest I am 'on the take' as far as this project is concerned...

Personally, deeply offends me.
For one significant reason...
It, is not FACTUAL.

AIG...
On the otherhand.
Has offered me -REALLY BIG- bonus.
(I might take it)

And all this time piggie...

Blabs & the D'alliance been telling us all that wind turbines are...

Dumb?

You mean they might have...

LIED???

Read the entire piece & weep crockodile tears if you must...

You old salty dog you...

Yur outta ya league mate`... Stick with the facts on fish...

At least you know... SUMTIN'!

When the Blues runnin'?... Need some for the BBQ.

;~)

Ah yes... Shall I post again the 'Costs of fossil fuels."?

Cough... Hack... Spit!

P.s. Notice how maverick thinks there is a diff between the electricity generated from land based turbines than those on water?...

Thinks those from CAPE WIND might get a little soggy... Like him!

He's sooooooooo funny.

piggie...

I'll share this -only- with you...

I hardly ever share 'FACTS' with the antiwindchrists so keep this under your hat otherwise it will blow them outta the water... I mean "National Treasure"...:

Ha!

Just remember everyone...

The Town of Barnstable's attorney takes his direction from the TOWN COUNCIL & TOWN MANAGER...

CALL THEM...

BITCH LIKE HOLY HELL!!!

Barnstable is laying off teachers, & other town employees...

Cutting back services...

Scrambling to save money like the rest of us...

And the councilers & town manager have the gall to try to fight what the great majority of our own residents want?

It's sickening... Remember this next election.

Pluckers.

The Cape Cod Commission and...

"Eric Wodlinger, a top shelf, top dollar, leading Boston law firm lawyer to devise creative legal strategies to put the Cape Cod Commission."...

Certainly embarressed themselves (again) with his statements to the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) last week when he tried unsuccessfully...

To (once again) try to have the EFSB consider what is at the (supply) end of the cables that the EFSB -HAS- definitive juristicion over.

Wodlinger, per usual of D'alliance S.O.P. (We all know CCC & the cabal are 'brothers in arms' against CAPE WIND) arrogantly argued with the hearing officer until she put her foot down & said 'enough' already she was NOT going to allow it and as a matter of fact that very same matter was decided at the prior hearing...

Anyone there knew she was *issed (with a capitol 'P')... And rightfully so.

These clowns really do think they are going to come in & run roughshod over the review, legal & regulations...

For the sake of the 'VIEW OF THE FEW-.

Shame on the CCC and double shame on the D'alliance.

One more thing piggie...

You are relatively new here...

She is more well known by her (appropriate) nickname:

'Blabs'

P.s. Up close & personal she's a pretty decent sort... Just (one might say)
'affected' - or is it: 'infected'?

Hitting tha sack pig...

All you need to know is: 'The FACTS are with you...'

Funny thing with the woman is...

She not even a boater on ACK sound...

Just a close business associate of one of those who looks out...

@ those who do.

piggie...

(Not too loud now... She' a vamp(ire)

Ahwoooooooooooo!

11/01/06 @ 8:57 am
"Stephen, How you make us smile with the effective campaign that you are waging for long term preservation of Nantucket Sound. Your check will have a bonus attached, the Egan family thanks you."

Darn!...

Missed that one piggie - Why thanks!

BD... Woman (wannabeblonde) / antiwindchrist...

Where's my CHECK???

Etch!

Barbara Durkin and the D'alliance to: PROTECT the -VIEW OF A FEW-...

There is a very basic reason why you and you cabal are not respected or considered credible by:
- The Army Corps of Engineers
- The Massachusetts Audubon Society
- The Office of the Governor of MA
- Any credible Environmental organization in existence...
- The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Affairs
- The United States Department of Minerals Management
- The United States Coast Guard

The reason is: (Remember 'Wayne's World'?...)

You... "ARE-NOT-WORTHY". (Period)

You, and the D'alliance to 'PROTECT THE VIEW OF A FEW'... Have shamed yourselves by the manner and the message you have deceitfully proffered the public.

Propaganda containng: Misrepresentation, Fear-mongering, and outright: LIES.

Apologize, close the doors of your repugnant organization, apologize again, and in time... Most will forgive and forget.

Go home to Southboro. And stay there.

CAPE WIND... Is -finally- going to be:

-BUILT-

Durkin likes to complain about the 'cost' of CAPE WIND's electricity...

And she revels in the fact that the project isn't built ~yet~.

Yet... The cost of our electricity has increased by at least 80% over the last few years...

Not due to CAPE WIND at all.

And with CAPE WIND we have had the chance if permitted over 5 years ago...

To LOCK IN a guranteed electric rate for 5/10/15 or maybe more.

Meanwhile during the delays caused by the cabal...

The cost of the materials & labor for building the wind farm have escalated enormously...

And who will bear the brunt of the added costs and not benefit by cheaper electricity in the long run?

One guess.

Thanks to Barbara & the D'alliance's COAL & OIL backed benefactors from Oyster Harbors etc!

cARL...

I was ~almost~ embarressed for the opponents attorney when testifying before the Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) on Thursday...

He tried to submit "evidence" that CAPE WIND's electricity would cost more based on their "facts".

To no surprise it was -not- allowed to be read or submitted as part of the recorded testimony... Sparking (sic) the cabals defense's ire to further his shame by arguing with the presiding officer.

These people are actually convinced that intelligent & educated professionals will swallow their chum for the offal it is.

Then he went on to say that because the undersea cables within the three mile limit under the juristiction of the EFSB...

Were connected to the wind farm... The 'adverse effects' of the it should be all part of the review/approval from EFSB.

Gee, the wires to my house are connected to the same ones that come from Miriant & Brayton Point...

I can't wait to try that line out when those plants come up for review.

It was a slam dunk for CAPE WIND.

Jay!...

Check out Andy Buckley post & it might be of some help:

"Bigger is always...bigger"

Ya know?

I don't know about most, but I hardly consider a 21 yo to be an "adult"...

Perhaps in the eyes of the law & he/she should know better than to 'cross the line'...

And yes, that is what -is- expected...

But the reality is...

The youth of today are (as far as I am concerned) are not anywhere as responsible or in many cases evolved as the case 20/30/40 years ago...

I'm not defending the kid at all but making an observation on the last few generations over time.

Seems 'Technology' might have it's disadvantages as well.

"We are all entitled to our opinions. But working at a gas station does not qualify you to take shots at Barbara D. who has researched this project for years."...

Maverick, Jack...

You are embarressing yourself Capt.

P.s. FACT: Barbara Durkin is a shill for Richard Egan of EMC / Data storage billionaire & founder of the D'alliance to 'protect' the(ir) VIEW...

She lives in Northboro & he in Southboro...

They have a business relationship and commenting against CAPE WIND is her way of er... 'Added value' you might say.

You can find her commenting on most any blog in America that mentions CAPE WIND and offers her baloney sandwiches on stale white bread courtesy of the affluent effluent from Oyster Harbors waterfront part-time home owners.

A founding member of antiwindchrist.com as well I suspect.

;~)

Very well said piggie...
All a long the D'alliance cabal have "prostituted" themselves for the sake of the (-THEIR-) VIEW of the few...
The millionaire & billionaire COAL & OIL magnates of Oysterville's Oyster Habors, along with similar selfish & self-centered ilk who have a total disregard for the year round air & water quality the rest of us endure.

Unfortunately, they have poisoned the minds of the uninformed & gullible with the offal propaganda of the affluent effluent.
Thankfully, the entire permitting process will soon be completed with the project APPROVED...
And all that will be left is for shameless & high priced attorneys to try & argue the frivilous & embarressingly lame S.O.S. @ the behest of their benefactors.
Disgusting.

Rush embarresses all Republicans no matter how left or right...

My prediction: He will either -pop- (obvious he eats miss Piggy for lunch & dinner) or get the boot for conduct un-becoming...

His head (connected to his mouth) will be his downfall.

Snake...

The dif between Carville & Rush is the latter has a -full time- mike in his face.

No doubt that James is an alien (and his wife might even be ~hot~ in a perverted/strange way)...

As a 'reformed' (perhaps temporarily) lifelong Republican...

I think Rush is poison to the party...

While James is (at least) entertainment...

And thought provoking more often than ( Rush) not.

Oh man... "Animal Farm" - The book report by Friday!

Dan...

That was crewl(sic) & funny as heck too.

"I said stop honking the darn horn, open all the doors, and pop the hood or I will shoot!...

...your tires"

Generally, Mav chokes on tha swill at this point...

What you got to say Capt.?

We can't hear you!

P.s. Mav, most of us like or appreciate your P.O.V...

In the case of CAPE WIND...

You & tha cabal are without any wind in your sails 'tall.

The 'Dark Side' is not one where you want to me mate...

Shame & disgust at best...

Let's talk.

When do we meet?

Thanks dorsal... Will add it to the must read list!

Note the front page in the Times today... Didn't think they had it in them ;~)

Between the draggers & dredgers... Dragging & sucking all the life off of the seabed...

Is it any wonder our fishing stocks are so depleted?

Give Nantucket Sound a chance to survive environmentaly for a change...

Less pollution, less spawning fish kill etc. and not much doubt, the industry will benefit in a large way...

Then again, it may be Capt. Jack & the charter crowd who benefits more...

All the better...

More than enough will survive & head offshore to be caught by 'sustainable' means.

The shrill cacophoney of the nonsensical opponents will be silenced none too soon.

You are right on all accounts dorsal...

Outrageous... Hypocrites to the N'th degree.

Sadly, I think originally S.N. was taken in by the paycheck - in need.

Honorably, she has bailed from that doomed S.O.F.'s...

Now with what?... The 'Fishermans Partnership' - Issues with the wind farm but at least their's are based on a belief (however not in fact), while the cabals are so...

Nauseatingly disengenuous.

"including details of how you arrived at this page, so that we can correct the problem."...

Ah yeah... I clicked on your 'Nantucket Soundkeepers' tab...

So, ummmmmm... What happened to your designation?

Could it be...

The (sham of the) D'alliance really doesn't fit the...

'Criteria'???

dorsal...
't has been scientifically vetted again & again by many govt. agencies.

Problem has been, up to recently...
The D'alliance has 'got to' the pols.

Times have changed for the good & it is "out with the bad & in with the good"...
Soon you will find many more pols lining up behind the project taking credit for their 'support' all along.

P.s Susan Nickerson came to her senses & abandoned ship...

Anyone want to place bets who's the next to go over @ the D'alliance?:
Whatley or Audra?

P.p.s. Wonder what happened to the cabals 'Nantucket Soundkeeper' designation?...

Bring it up on their site and this is what you get:
"We're sorry - the page or function you tried to access could not be found on our web site. We would appreciate it if you could take a moment to email us at MemberCenter@saveoursound.org, including details of how you arrived at this page, so that we can correct the problem."

Ha!... The "details" I can't wait to read about... The 'plug' was finally pulled on this group of miscreants.

The ship of fools is sinking.

"Here he comes to save the day..."
...Ken Salazar's on the way!

Now, let's get some steel in the sandy bottom of Nantucket Sound with turbines on top...

Go CAPE WIND!

Thanks Mav... It's been more than fun @ times; I have enjoyed your spirit.

Most know, and acknowledge that the project is finally going to be built despite the underhanded & misguided efforts of the opponents.

That said, I look forward with to tangling with you one of these days on one of your charters for a bit of fun...

Once this economy is at least showing some signs of improving that is. In the meantime, I hope bookings for you as spring aproaches will indicate same.

Monpo...
Not only would you "be upset"...
You might also proffer: ~plucked~...
But good! ;>)

Buzzy... Holy EV1!... There is more material on the vehicle than I care to read. Have printed out about a hundred pages & will digest soon & offer further opinion for your honored consideration.

Ha... Mav comments on "psycho babble"...
That's a good one capt!

But don'cha worry mate...
There's a wind farm coming to a sound near you & me sooner than you might think.

P.s. Told you b4 I only get $.15/word... You know Wally is real tight when it comes to $.

That barely paid the light bill!

You may have noticed... (maybe not) Have not been on of late (my choice this time:)...

Works been -real- slow for this sparky this winter. Been banging on doors...

Looking for jobs like so many others.

Buzz... You may have me to some degree. I am going on memory from the flick...

Will do some checking myself as I am wondering:

- Why did GM -only- 'lease" the EV1's?

- Possibly to conform w/CA standards but their intent was to have the product ~fail~?

- You mention -only- 800 units... How many were produced/avaiable?

- Why was it that despite overwhelming requests on the part of those who had the vehicle... When the lease was up - Why -not- sell them to those who wanted them?

According to the documentary.

Buzz...

Ck yur facts...

The autos you mention were leased & were a BIG hit...

Once the leases were up GM took em all back w/ -no- chance for anyone to purchase. Upset all who had one because they were great vehicles & they loved thme.

As said... GM took em all back & crushed them ALL.

Get the documentary... We do & it is GREAT - But it does leave you shaking your head.

Gee... "CRUSADER PAROLED:"

Why... I never got that kind of consideration!...

Just the big ol' ~boot~ whenever I wus bad...

And a vitriolic note to TOWMBO that always landed me in the cold wet & smelly dog house. :~(

Sorry, correction: "Take what you read & hear from Durkin..." With a grain of salt.

Not suggesting you go away Cru...

Or not have an opinion...

Seemed to me you were blowing a bit of 'blue smoke' and it was unbecoming.

BTW: Take what you read & hear from Durkin. She is an obvious shill for Richard Egan...

Billionaire of EMC data storage technology fame & Oyster Harbors waterfront home owner & part-time resident. He started the D'alliance with a bunch of the same ilk...

With one goal only:

To 'save' -Their- VIEW.

They live in the neighboring towns of Northboro & Southboro off season.

They could care less how polluted the air, water & land is from burning fossil fuels like COAL & OIL to generate our electricity...

CAPE WIND... Is the single most important & significant environmentally positive opportunity for us since the National Seashore.

It should be built & built soon.

Cru... Just took a peak at the thread & thought I should offer a well intentioned suggestion...

Please consider leaving the topic of CAPE WIND & Jim Gordon to others that are informed about both. Really obvious you are not.

Stick with other subject matter you DO know about - K?

BTW...

It was GM 'Who killed the electric car?'... Not positive but think that was the name of the (highly recomended) documentary.

Be good.

Last thing I would want to be is "honorary" anything 't'll.

A sure sign you ('pected) soon be 'toasted' & 'remembered'...

And you...

Lookin' up @ the roots of the green, green, grass of 'ome.

Pluck that!

Porky Limbaugh looks like he is about to POP...

But man...

How can you not...

Love tha rack on Coulter...

Damn!...

I feel bad for his parents... Good hard working people. David lost his way.

Richard...

Try... The D'alliance has -shamefully- spent close if not more than $30,000,000.00 (That's thirty million) in trying to fight the project.

And...

Have caused our local, state & federal govenments to spend MILLIONS of TAX-PAYERS money to support and defend against positions on either side...

The Feds & State reviewing agencies support the project as well as -ALL- respected enviornmental organizations as well as the respected scientific community.

It is disgusting & shamefull what this group of affluent effluent backed miscreants are trying to do to stall & impact each & every favorable review.

And now, they are wasting even more TAX-PAYER money in attempting to sue CZM for finding: "all aspects of the project, including those project elements located in federal waters, and the project's effects on resources and uses in the Masachusetts coastal zone" consistant with "the CZM enforceable program policies"...

Jokes on them... They have -no- standing!

Fools and their money...

Are blowing ours too.

Barbara... No one's listening to you anymore.

possee... Isn't that deduction eliminated / adjusted -only- for the super rich?

Please clarify.

Sounds like Durkin is getting really worried about...

CAPE WIND:

Coming ~SOON~ to a sound near me...

~Nantucket Sound~

Yeah CAPE WIND!

3 cheers for the men & women of Station Brant Point!...

You honor your duty to the good citizens of ACK & your country.

"it's the difference between mounting something really heavy on a pole and mounting it on four legs. Finally, it uses less steel, which makes it cheaper, especially since steel prices are steadily on the rise."

Huh?... Looks like it -is- mounted on a pole on a platform that has 4 legs...

That is "cheaper" to build than -1- monopile?

I can only imagine the pretty picture images the cabal would put in print if CAPE WIND had proposed 130 such 4 legged structures in ACK Sound.

Fact is...

-Any- 'Deep Water' wind turbine is going to be incredibly expensive to build, whether is be a platform styled or a counter balanced monopile.

Add to those costs will be the also -floating- Electric Service Platform (ESP) which will have a whole lot of um... Cooling oil for the transformers.

Wondering what would happen if one of the anchors broke free in a cat 4 hurricane? To me a fixed platform in ACK Sound might have more integrity.

Add to the expense of DW is the huge cost of the High Voltage long distance cables running to shore.

Somehow I don't see DW as less expensive.

"Contrary to what he's said for the past five years on the site's visibility from what he has called a "historic site" like the Kennedy Compound, yesterday Mr. Kennedy rejected suggestions that he doesn't like the wind farm because it would be near his Hyannisport home saying the project probably would not be visible from the compound anyway."

Ummmm...

"It's having the right balance that makes a difference.... Everyone admires those with confidence, but there's got to be more...Sometimes being too bossy drives them away."

...Crusader?

;~)

Wattley said "the rule, had it been in existence, would have been used to judge the project's environmental effects."...

Mr. Watley, COAL & OIL industry consultant...

Please help us "judge the envirnmental effects of ~BURNING~: COAL & OIL.

...Choke!

Prediction:

Within 5/10years the Times will be a weekly and their online version will be updated continually...

Then... What will happen to the Barnstable Patriot they bought a few years back?

For Teddy to fly to DC from -HIS- vacation home @ TAXPAYERS expence on a GOVERNMENT JET... In order to be able to cast -his- vote (in case it "is needed") to do -HIS- job... Is patently DISGUSTING.

Does the man have any honor/integrity/ responsibility?

Buzzy: Wouldn't it be "ROD-Ster!... Rod-Ster!... A-Rod-Ster!!!

Probably was wearing a coyote coat with one of those special buttons to boot.

Willing to bet that Jim went home, gave his woman his best ~sultry~ come hither look, said something frenchie like: "French Vanilla"...

And ooooweeee! What a night.

'Bottom Line'...

Make it a part of the deal with the "Golf Lifetime Memberships"...

That once a year -during a thunderstorm-these dudes have to play a round... For the gripper.

How do you know it was cold if it ran out @ 7:00?...

Did you get it @ 6:45 and sent it back to get warmed up...

And it never came back?

I picture a 'smiley face' mouth in the bowl with the duo-colored yokes...

Use leftover chicken lips?

I would love to find out where to buy one of those coyote coats with the built in pre-recorded "Oooowooooooo!" you get when you press one of the buttons...

You know - Just like those nifty Hallmark cards @ CVS.

Pretty, pretty, cool.

Yer F.O.S. Ned on at least two counts.

1)No prior comment from me/only midcape... no guy 's' / "righteousness"

2) (banned thrice)

Me thinks you wus on yer way down from a ~high~... That's the way you came across.

Not suggesting a bad 'thing'... Just think you could have made a more graceful landing / entrance. ;~)

I bet if they put up a bunch of wind turbines @ Otis and told the D'alliance...

They would come with guns, bazookas cannons & all that jaz to try and take em all out...

When they got distracted, hell...

We put em up in ACK Sound!

Not a well know fact but Captain Jack / Maverick is the great, great, great, great grandson of Capt. Baker...

Here-tell Mav insists his crew do the obligitory slip'n slide dockside on a peel without takin' the tumble just to show his charters ain't nobody drinkin' (capt. only 'sips') on board... It just the wave action there mate`.

Both Markey & Kerry said they would come out in support of CAPE WIND if/when MMS issued a positive Final Enviornmental Impact Statement (F.E.I.S.)...

What's the word on the street from them anyway?

Bill Buckley & Walter Brooks...

My heroes!

With a capitol 'T'.

Yeah, I have heard reports of what your saying Richard, but...

Have you ever run into a cranked up crack?

Oooooohhhhh man!

Now that's... Trouble in 'River City'!

Yeah Solon...

It's always the S.O.S. anyway they try to serve it.

"You DON'T have a right to be Angry?"...

"(deleted)"... "(deleted)" - Looks the same to me... Am I missing something?

Is your glue not holding your pieces together Neddie?

Barbara Durkin, friend, business associate of Richard Egan... Billionaire founder of the D'alliance to 'Protect' ~MY VIEW~ of Nantucket Sound.

MA Audubon, after scientific study & analysis, has concluded a differing opinion than originally offered.

You and your cabal have your own ~unscientific~ offering as to "avian mortality~ with NO studies conducted -AT ALL- at the proposed site.

Furthermore...

The D'alliance has -NO- standing -or- credibility what-so-ever with -ANY- government reviewing agency, respected govenment official or for that fact... -ANY- respected enviormental organization.

Therefore...

"Your conjectures and statements... about wind farms and bird collisions are unfortunately incorrect."

And of course, without merit.

Is that monpo in the Victoria's er 'get-up'???

Well deserved congratulations Cynthia...

You have made Main Street proud & beautiful once again, as a result of your thoughtful guidance, hard work and personal sacrifice.

Thank you!

Pretty ~cleaver~ eh monpo?

Waiting for the axe to fall...

Teddy, Billy or Julie could all be organizing a traffic stop in Yarmouth or sending me tickets to the next Metallica concert.

Anycase, at least the League of Woman Voters may take pity & offer to save my soul.

Could it be... '2009 is the year of Julie Brooks'?

~Significado de los suenos~

Looks like a thoughtful winner & 'significant' to note in these down times!...

Congrats & loads of good luck.

~Almost~ makes me yurn for grandchildren. ;~)

-Your favorite PITA.

Mav... Thanks for your thoughts. "Why not..." Write your own op-ed?

P.s. You know as well as I that the CCCHFA will be positively affected by CAPE WIND...

And that point is "...based on science that is objective". I might add.

Nice piece Buzzie!

Possee - If I poke me head outta the the sand box will surely get wacked.

Maybe by the grace of Wally etal... When PK's sins are forgiven in a 30days of solitary or so...

I might be.

In the meantime:

Pray for wind!

Jus wondering - R U going to let 'Peck' back "in a month or so." Too?

I mean ~someone~ has to really get in the trenches with him and duke it out with the gloves off!

Think Peck's 'The man' for the job!

Shussh Mav!

Under cover - Can't you tell?

You see me on your radar screen?

Been secretly testing the waters for 'P(eck)H'(am) factor.

P.s. News-Hen: Well done skewer!

Oh good!

Peter Kenney's back... "at our expence." "Oh, good."

"Thanks so much."

Does that mean we can soon expect acid-tongued 'Peck' to rain on Peters parade once in a while?

'Fair & balanced'... Is only fair ya know?

(Peter: "Help me!... I'm melting!"

AFTB... If you had not noticed before - Whenever Peta is asked pertainant questions to defend his spew...

He chokes more than not.

Cleon is a leftover kling-on...

Someone run against him... Please.

Well said, whatabout...!

Not gonna happen selkie... The guy is on the *hit list with *ulie & *ally.

Trashed *hristy; but good.

Marty scowls like that because he has been zapped too many times...

Try to remember to keep your zipper clear of the dangerous fuse box.

Nice post Jim... I bet it was great to be there to celebrate; and with a forward thinking gentleman with great integrity & fortitude who has started the energy revolution on the east coast & essentially rejuvinated the renewable revolution in our country.

Yeah... CAPE WIND.

Next time the election rolls around you can bet who I -WON'T- be voting for...

And... I will be campaigning hard to support the opponents of Kennedy & Delehunt.

cw rice is right:

Shameful, shameful...

These are the guys that 'represent' the BEST INTERESTS over 84%+ of MA that support CAPE WIND?

We can do much better.

Those two pols make me...

Baaarrrrfff!

Sickening.

Sorry guys... Wus refering to the CW -CLOSED POST-... Not a generalization; but specific.

Per usual... CCTodays 'editiors' douse thoughtful & reflective comentary of the 'outed'...

And allow occassional idioms of the idiots.

The self-important 'public servant' pols 'damage control / View control' management operatives (aka Delehunt & his own peraonal lap-dog what's his face) are still jerking around Oberstar types (help me out will you my fellow 'Senator'?) to shamefully oppose the project...

Baaarrrffff!!!
