Oh my God! Children learning how their bodies function! How deplorable! Some of these children may want to enter the medical profession! How unthinkable!
The "emergency meeting' should be to present a Teacher of the Year award.

Ben and Toby could make some honest money doing Clearasil ads

Yep, got a problem, throw money at it.
Looks like we have another Nobel Peace Prize nominee.

Interesting inscription on an 1890 tombstone.
"Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the misfortunes of our nation has come to it through this so called party therefore beware of this party of treason."

"...They don't trust politicans, they don't trust the media, they don't trust anyone. They're scared. And scared people, just like scared animals, tend to lash out, snarl and bare their teeth..."

Seems to be reminiscent of the American Revolution.

Or just read the good/bad stuff.

Unfortunately non of you have read the bill. This is obvious from your comments.

That would lower them to the ranks of the rabble.

That comes out to $37,917.17 for each and every resident of the US.

Richard, amazing!
You should go on the road. The mindreading scam is big entertainment today.

People who constantly bitch about everyone else.

Typical 'absence of facts' by this digital rag

"...off Cape town of Rochester..."???

Guess I need a new map of the Cape

CC I thought this was an English speaking group?
"...the highest for drivers aged 16- to 19-year-olds than it is for any other age group..."

No other stats are needed. The intent was to put this knee-jerk reaction into perspective.
Pete's suggestion is good but the 16 year old driver will probably not live to be retested.

I thought that Massachusetts' sole goal was to create more bureaucracies?

Yes Pete
Let's put this in perspective:
Teenage Driver Facts:
Deaths. Each Year over 5,000 teens ages 16 to 20 Die due to Fatal injuries caused Car accidents. About 400,000 drivers age 16 to 20 will be seriously injured.

Risks. The risk of being involved in a car accident the highest for drivers aged 16- to 19-year-olds than it is for any other age group. For each mile driven, teen drivers ages 16 to 19 are about four times more likely than other drivers to crash.

Stats. Teenagers are about 10 percent of the US Population but account for 12 percent all Fatal Car Crashes.

Costs. Drivers (both male and female) under age 24 account for 30% - $26 billion Dollars of the total costs of Car accidents in the US.

Male Versus Female. The car accident death rate for teen male drivers and passengers is more than one and a half times female teen driver (19.4 killed per 100,000 male drivers compared with 11.1 killed per 100,000 female drivers.

New Drivers. The risk of a Crash risk is much higher during the first year teenagers are able to drive.

I'm confused.
I Googled 'coldest June' and got:
Arizona has coldest june since 1913
Coldest June in New England in 27 years
LAST month Australians endured our coldest June since 1950
Coldest June on Record in Chicago
Seattle area's coldest June start in recorded history
Sydney has coldest June in 24 years
So far, June's chill is one for the records -- chicagotribune.com
The coldest June temperature ever recorded in Bismarck-Mandan
Coldest June in Mass in 120 years

Will someone please let me know if I should put in my doghouse window AC?

WOOF!

Just for sensationalism.
Just like Channel 7 ran the video of the interview with this police officer.
The child was crying and shaking, obviously terrified by the ordeal.
The Sandwich police are equally to blame for allowing this. Neither they nor Channel 7 nor cct had any concern for the child. It's just a photo-op.
Disgusting!

I wonder what is Mary's message to the families of the 200,000 wives, mothers, daughters and sisters who are currently serving in our Armed Forces? Plus the thousands who gave their lives in our current and past confrontations, all of which were volunteers. They certainly gave their opinion as to who holds "little sway when it comes to guns and bombs"

Hooray! Free paper for my parrot's cage.
Time to cancel the CC Times subscription.

I guess Sarah Palin wont get any kisses on Mother's Day

"In real business,running an operation into the ground with no accountability usually results with the shareholders terminating the elected officers of the board..as they did not perfrom their elected, or hired, positions effectively"

DUH!

GE went from over $35 to $6 in a year under the regime of Jeffrey Immelt. I believe he is still CEO of this 'real' business.

Joke appears in the AARP magazine every 6 months.
But it is always new to the readers.

Do I sense an attempt at creeping Socialism?
When will the Barnstable Police and Licensing Authority be ordering their brown shirts?

"Cost clarified" Not really. There has been no discussion about maintainence costs.
Cape Wind will be the first off shore wind farms in the US!
For some clarification read this:

And this:
http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/18/a-struggle-in-europe-for-offshore-wind-power/

Lets see some clarification on maintainence costs.
It's one thing to maintain a generator on a mountain or desert but in the often nasty Nantucket Sound?

Has anyone considered that with the future of homeland security and the likelihood of future terrorist attacks, all of Nantucket Sound will be off limits to boaters as soon as the towers are in place.

The cop probably thinks the Escalade is waiting on a drug deal.....

Come on kids, say it like it is.
Compare DPM's storefront with Christy's rendering.
DPM looks like it belongs in Mattapan.

Well at least the Ford salesmen won't have to wear flak jackets anymore.

Rumors are that Hyannis Ford will move to the Puritan location.
Guess they want to get out of the war zone.
Also keep a close watch on Saturn.

Yeah, but in the private sector you have choices. If the product or service are unsatisfactory you can go to another business. That's called competition. Government has no competitors so we're stuck with what we have. So they stick it to us. The private sector has to earn its money and use what it earns to operate. The government, which has no money, uses our money to operate with no accountability. Get the picture?

"...that a sizable fraction of current charter school teachers and students would go to other schools rather than accompany the charter to Hyannis East..."

As I see it looks more like a game of sacrifice chess.
Sacrificing pawns (children and teachers) for later control of the game.

Goal - Eventual elimination of the charter school.

Nefarious!

The sale is now distressed merchandise.
The store is out of business.

What would Patti Page sing now?

May have looked sound but apparently not. Enrollments have been declining constantly for many years. Obviously no planning for the future. This is just a lot of smoke and mirrors to cover up the incompentency of the school board.

What a great example of government using children as pawns.
A very nasty solution to resolve out-of-control spending.

Come on capecodconservative, what the heck does a drunken Metallica fan have to do with Cape Cod tourism. More a refection of the type of fan this tired group attracts.
"No Martha we can't go the Cape this Summer, the cops pee on people!"
However it might boost P'town tourism.

"Move or lose your charter"
Blatant blackmail!
Time to recall the school board.
