Boy, are you it for it now.
Don't you know all the right-wing readers will call you unpatriotic for suggesting such a rational view?

Bill, I hope you are ready for the heat which comes with the kitchen.
I've heard you speak for years, and know that you will rub many the wrong way, but this is the only really open, unedited forum on Cape Cod and a perfect place for your view.
Expect the barbarians to be pounding on the fates, but illegitimi non carborundum.

Cromwell is Marshall spelled backward.

I had a dozen Wellfleet oysters last night, but only six of them worked.

The Globe has heard the hysterics this week similar to when JFK died and Congress changed the name of Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy in the grief of the moment.

It took Florida years to reclaim their own heritage.

The Globe simply is doing what a responsible media should do and speak truth to power.

Candy is dandy,
Liquor is quicker,
But pot is HOT !

Whenever a prominent person nears their end, as regrettably Mrs. Shiver may be doing today, the media publishes the most recent photos in their files of the person.
It is so refreshing to see cc2day do the opposite, and publish photos of her at her zenith during and just after the Camelot years.
Your two photos of Eunice show this lovely lady at her remembered best and not at her least attractive and most enfeebled.

As a long-time Christy supporter I was shocked at the unmitigated lies and fabrications mouthed by that FOX wingnut Morris.
Doesn't Christy know how many thinking people (you know, the kind who actually vote) are turned off by this garbage.
I was really shocked last night.

I see that Bob is still working there. I think he's been at that station about forty years now, and knowing Christy Mihos, you can bet he went out of the way to offer Bob his old job when he acquired the Chatham station from the former owners.

Nothing these phony Indians have done is as asinine as claiming they buried their dead on Horseshoe Shoals and thus four hundred years later America shouldn't build a wind farm there.
Where was their anger at the destruction caused on the shoals and the entire sound by dredging for the past century.
This is another kiss-ass to Godfather Ted and his consigliere Dulahunt to curry favor with their new masters.

Hey lottabaloney, I think Ted just beat me to it.
Ain't it strange how guys go from the government regulatory agency (his position as Secretary of Health and Human Services) right into the very industry he swore to regulate for the good of the people.
Like Ted says, we deserve Baker.

The old army alphabet code was "Able, Baker, Charlie...", but Baker, Charlie, is one dude who is NOT able.
His campaign slogan should be,
"From that wonderful guy who brought you today's health insurance debacle."

Wow! Talk about out of touch egoism.

You mean the current GOP, or
Really Obsolete Parody

capeconservative is the real voice of the conservative closed mind.
Any mother may speak of a son's death, whereas no male should dare.
A better Republican said, “I don't want to see the Republican Party ride to political victory on the Four Horsemen of Calumny - Fear, Ignorance, Bigotry, and Smear” - Margaret Chase Smith.
Luckily dissent is still allowed here, thanks mostly to the Democratic Party.

Truro has the highest per capita number of police in the state - 15 for 1,500+ residents - that's one for each 100 taxpayers.
What per cent of the town budget is that? And shouldn't Truro expect competence for that cost?
The town must be a veritable crime capital to warrant that concentration of fuzz.

What's wrong with Cynthia? Is so afraid to answer these charges? If so, she deserves to go.

Crude, baby, none are so blind as those that can not see.
Try a little self-honesty - you're a whining, unemployable twit and attempt to prove you are alive by dominating this media site to the amusement of your betters.

Crud is a farging ice-hole

"On Chappaquiddick"
Preface -

There once was a fellow named Ted
Who took Mary Jo Kopechne to bed
Mary said "I'm so happy
To be driving on old Chappy,
Let's turn right towards the Dike Bridge instead."

What about McCain and Richardson endorsing Cape Wind?
Richardson played in the CCBL and the wind farm is the ONLY local angle in this year's presidential race, and the Times is ignoring it !
Wonder why?
Could it be that they've written 80 editorials against the wind farm and are totally prejudiced on the subject?

The most amusing aspect of Delahunt's presence was the stark comparison between him and the next person on the rostrum, Greg Watson of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative.
First the pudgy, vapid, cliché laden Irish Pol, then an articulate, learned, dignified professional in renewables.

A simple answer to the question "Did you know the woman who shot her husband?" would have ended Blanchard's interview and the story probably wouldn't have been written.
Why didn't O'Keefe answer?

Sammy, you forget, the rich people and trophy home owners who are spending $15 million to staop America's first offshore wind farm can afford $3 for gas.
They don't give a rat's butt for us - they are the people like Bill Koch and Doug Yearley who own the fossil fuel companies which will profit from high energy prices.

The anti-wind vigilantes follow the propaganda advise of Joseph Goebbels;
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it people will eventually come to believe it."

WB is right, Aaron. Every Republican party official in the state has known Porpopine's ID for years. A nasty blogger who was thrown off this site 2 years ago went out of his way to reveal her indentity, but she still clings to the dream of invisibility.
It's too bad because she wrote much more pungent columns when she was blogging here.

Somebody once sed Monpo had fat legs - this proves it.

As always, Capri, you avoid answering the charges.
Why don't you go off and help Durkin build some new trophy homes for the Egans.

The NIMBYs are now left to jamming these comments with material which has NOTHING to do with a story about an Energy Summit.
Cape Wind is blessed by its enemies.

So while those 2 harpies are repeating their half-truths and other garbage about Cape Wind, our governor is trying to free America from Arab Oil.
Nice going, girls. I hope you both understand how distasteful and selfish you nimbys are.

BOYCOTT KFC! They kill birds by the millions!

Another marvelous expose by this bright, update alternative newspaper !
We didn't bother to wonder why the local daily isn't uncovering these shams - the oil moguls who fund the Alliance have the management in their pocket.
Money talks - renewable energy for Cape Cod walks.

This recognition news is very depressing. It will mean a casino near the cape, which will mean more crime, more substance abuse, and more traffic. Deval Patrick is doing what he has to by sucking up to the new, powerful interest group and pretending to "study" whether there should be a casino.

My last trapeze was under the mirror in my bedroom.

Depends on whether you want her to be bored to death or balled to death ;>)

Al is right on. Our family had one of the best meals ever there after reading this review. Best of all was the excitment and fun of a Japanese Steak House right here on this fish-fry sand spit.

The woman's right - according to a business article in the January 16, 2007 International Herald Tribune "Cost of raq war ($1.2 trillion) changes economic perspectives" For starters, $1.2 trillion would pay for an unprecedented public health campaign — a doubling of cancer research funding, treatment for every American whose diabetes or heart disease is now going unmanaged and a global immunization campaign to save millions of children's lives.

Combined, those programs wouldn't use up even half of our money pot. So we could then turn to poverty and education, starting with universal preschool for every three- and four-year-old child across the country. The city of New Orleans could also receive a huge increase in reconstruction funds.
Other economists believe the cost will EXCEED 2 TRILLION.

Yesterday, a friend and I flew back to sunny Florida from frigid Philadelphia. We put our carry-on stuff on the X-ray conveyor and we passed thru the metal detector (my belt buckle flunked) without a significant incident.

On the retrieval side of the X-ray machine my friend was advised to wait as the contents of her bag needed some looking into. After a few minutes the inspector arrived ... a Muslim woman dressed in full head scarf and tunic. To say the least, we were taken aback.

Congress was able to keep Dubai from managing our ports alright, but couldn't keep an Al Qaeda look-alike from peering into our privates. Next thing you know, we'll be offering the enemy Social Security and Medicare in an heroic and patriotic endeavor to show them that not only does democracy really work, it pays, too.

Next time we fly, I'm going to peer into the cockpit with more than idle curiosity.

I have on average one bird every 4 months killed by flying into the windows of my office, not glass sliders, just a regular windows.

Multiply that times 3 a year for my house, then times every house in America, and you have the bird-kill problem.

Let's ban glass windows on houses and kill all the cats to save the birds while we're eating chicken and turkey
;>)

Naw, he's just illogical.

Ditto on that, News Gal.
These haridans can't see the forest for the trees, or in this case, the ocean for the turbines. Save you breath.

As your reporter Jack Coleman wrote here monthes ago, it was Deval Patrick's early endorsement of the Cape Wind project which set him apart from the "politics as usual" crowd which takes orders from Hyannisport, and it also won him the early caucuses on Cape Cod.

Ageing, impaired Ted Kennedy should "get a life". Forget your ocean view and join the voters who have supported you for four decades in supporting ANY renewable energy idea which lessens our dependence on Arab Oil !!!

Hey, News-Gal, the homes in my town,
Matinecock, NY, have a median price of over a mill... that each one. The median price in Greenich is $650,000.

What happened to all of Maloy's signs in Truro and Provincetown? They seemed to all disappear last week after the primary.

As I said; Aaron has the guts not to hide behind an alias.

Do you?

Hey Bub, at least Aaron has the guts not to hide behind an alias.

You are obviously a Peake provocateur. Get real, and comment using your own idenitfy as Aaron does. This only proves what a nasty campaigner your candidate is.

Damn the election! Your CC-YouTube blog is even funnier ;>)

Go get, big guy.

Dick, we've had an "All Volunteer Army" for decades, ever since that last unjust and evil war - remember Viet Nam?

These are not draftees inducted against their will, but professional warriors who knew exactly what they could possibly get into.

Ask every tenth person you meet over the next week what they think of the Iraq War II and you've have a better idea of where the voters will be in November... or ask Joe Lieberman. His Hartford CT number is (860) 549-8463.

On the other hand, it would have been better for your candidacy if this GOP President had emulated Reagan and invaded a country we might be able to conquer like Panama or Granada.

Media self-hypnotism:

Finally, after over 60 CCT negative editorials on Cape Wind, the CCTimes editorial board has actually brainwashed themselves to their own unvarnished hypocrisy and schizophrenia.

Today's editorial is quite astonishing.

It will be interesting to see how folks respond in their Letters to the Editor column.

Stephen, you scamp! I think you've nailed poor Capri to Magical's hide.
She's a dissembling wench, what?

Capri, rest easy. There is no possible way anyone can damage Barbara Durkin's "reputation and credibility" any further.

She benefits from having lost the last shred of it long ago.

Capri turns out to be a bigot as well as a harpy. Gee, why doesn't that surprise anyone? How anyone can take the side of terrorists against a democratic people is truly amazing.

Thirty-five percent of Americans, according to a 2004 Pew Research survey, call themselves conservative, while only 22 percent call themselves liberal (43 percent call themselves moderate) - a 3 percent increase in conservatives since 1992. There is a reason for this - liberals keep getting it wrong.

Forgive Monpo, CWN. She forgot to take her prozac this morning.

Maybe your electorate now realizes that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

"eating a bullet" means commiting suicide.
Lincoln, Kennedy and King were murdered.

You hicks don't know nothin' about them Boston 'burbs;

Here that, Peckham?
I bet she's been talking to your wife.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Libby, ignore Monpo. She's harmless and ironic to a fault, albeit quite amusing at times.
Plus, her back is bothering her lately, so she's a tad cranky, and according to her pet rattlesnake can't carry a tune in a bucket.
;>)

Isn't this about the third time in a week this independent weekly has scooped our daily?

I stand corrected, MS Durkin.
I too receive no compensation from Cape Wind, and support the project for the safety and fosseil-fuel-free future of my children here on Cape Cod.

Barbara, your conscience may be clean, but THAT WAS NOT THE QUESTION.
Do you or don't you work for a company owned or controlled by the Egans of The Alliance?
'Fess up or shut up!

Of course Barbara Durkin continues to hide HER DAY JOB which I understand is working for a company owned by the Egans who founded and continue to fund the Alliance to Protract Nantucket Sound.
Come clean Barbara.

Yeah, Monpo thought NAACP stood for;
"Native American Anti Cape People".

"I understand Bill Koch redid his numbers and asked Mitt Romny to let him build it here instead of in front of his house in Osterville"

"I think Jim Gordon has them surrounded."

Mr. Brooks, that's a lovely trail tale. I hope it remains a secret so us "hairleggers" can have it all to ourselves.

The GOP is an organized hypocrisy.

Aaron is simply following Oscar Wilde's observation when he said, "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative."

Puleeease - I had fried something-called-clams at The Original last month and they were inedible.

You're correct about The Kreme 'n Kone if you mean the one in Dennis on 28 at 134. It's great and they now have a deck overlooking Swan River.
