Cromwell and th present Wamp leadership is so stupid they don't realize they are angering the Governor and 885% of their fellow Bay Staters by single-handedly stopping the renewable wind farm.
Hopefully the Alliance is paying them off well enough for them to handle the scorn.

That new Canadian Wind Farm in the Thousand Island vacation area was originally financed by Joe "For Oil" Kennedy. See near the bottom of this Canadian Chamber Newsletter here:

WOW !
That's the best analysis I've read.
Thanks you.

wamp-pride, please get someone to help you read my comment. I'm saying very simply that if our Mashpee neighbors don't clean up their own mess, and do it fast, the state will award the casino for Southeastern Massachusetts to another group - there are at least two competing for it already.
If you are suggesting the Native Americans can't straighten, you are the racist because I think they can, and they will. I'd love to see a casino owned by the Mashpee tribe (not the "investors"), and I'd like it to be on Cape Cod !

Wamp-NON-pride seems to think that by "shooting the messenger" he can get the federal government and Governor Patrick to ignore the endless and repugnant facts which Peter Kenney is presenting day-after-day.
WampPrideLESS, you and the rest of Marshall and Hendrick's goons are history - get over it. The tribe, like all other social groups, is made up of mostly decent Americans.
Now that they have been alerted (by THIS newspaper) they will rise up and launch another King Philip's War against you and your kind. Time to look for work off-cape.

The tribe has until the first of the year. Patrick HAS to have extra revenue for his plans to rebuild the state's infrastructure, and he won't wait for 1,500 nice but apparently disinterested or complacent folks in Mashpee to figure out why they should drop these clowns and do it FAST or they'll miss the canoe.

I know all you jerks with the "dreads" think you're hot sh-t left over from the 1960's, but that P.C. bull is really quite insulting to your race.
Political Correctness ordains that Native Americans, Blacks, Hispanics and over minorities should not be judged by the same standards as us white folks.
Don't you find that demeaning?
I'm white and I do.
You and your kin are about to enter the "real world" after three centuries of being held back by European-Americans.
That means it's time for Sir M.J. Peters 1 to start acting like an American as well as a Wampanoag.
The first thing you should do if you wish to be thought serious in the real world (as opposed to Indian fairy tale world) is to get rid of that foolish title. It's kewl for a blog title, but it will fall flat in the boardroom. What's wrong with Morgan James Peters?
You can do both if you try. And you could help your tribe do it too.

Marshall says "I’m not a bad person."
Hey, rapist-liar-Glenn, YES YOU ARE !

Naw, thong-thing, you're just a heartless, insenitive jerk who doesn't know when to back off.
Keep digging your hole since you obviously are the only one who knows whether this young man was bi-polar, a shell-shocked Vet, or dieing of incurable cancer, or simply a recent lover of yours which might cause anyone to pull the plug.

Mother Jones would be proud of you.

Delahunt is such a phony - he and his boss Kennedy are the main reasons America doesn't already has an offshore wind farm, but he's read the disgusting things he's done to stop it in the book coming out Monday, so he's obfiscating like all Pols do in this situation.
He's the best congressman money can buy.

The facts Capri - here's how the Globe described his sneak attack on renewable energy on 4/30/06:

A nod and a wink at a Senator's wife's funeral killed Cape Wind
April Fool's Day suggestion by a conservative old lion

The Boston Globe today reveals the specific whisper on the way to a graveyard which lead to a deal between the Senate's #1 Artic Oil promoter and Massachusett's #1 environmentalist.

The story states that it all happened at a funeral on April Fool's Day;
As Kennedy filed out of Memorial Baptist Church in Arlington, Va., another colleague of nearly four decades, Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska, approached him and offered a favor.
Stevens, an irascible conservative Republican, told Kennedy, the stalwart liberal Massachusetts Democrat, that he'd figured out a way to block the wind farm proposed for the waters off Cape Cod: Stevens would insert a provision in a sure-to-pass bill funding the Coast Guard that would give the state's governor the ability to veto the project.

"That sounds fine," Kennedy recalled replying, in what he said was a five-second conversation.

Hey Peter Pork, I had no idea you Tories were so cute XOX

Now that would be a great use for those Osterville oil moguls millions.

Many of us recall the chamber's glory days when Mike Frucci ran it for the betterment and honor (and glory) of this wonderful, friendly place.
A pox on them.

Jumpin' Gee Hypocrites, Batman, Peter Porcupine will have a snit-fit !

Hmmmm, how about six-and a half miles away? God you people are silly.

"Cape Wind is blessed by its enemies"...
Whittaker - stop plagiarizing me. I stole those words first from Jack Coleman and Walter Brooks.
Only kidding. You're welcome to them.
It pretty much sums up the angst these relics are feeling just now.
It's all over Neil. Don't go away mad, just go away. You sound silly.

Thanks for the compliment. I've known and read and admired Walter for decades and am especially happy to be mistaken for him at this late date.
If it wasn't for him and CCToday loonies would have killed this years ago.

God these harpies are tiring... don't they realize how boring and ridiculous they sound?
They attempt to use the same hysterical bull-squat over and over and over again.
Cape Wind is BLESSED with its enemies.

By George, I think Capri's got it !
Yes, if you oily retrograde nimbys stop this first attempt to free us from foreign oil forever, what other entrepreneur would gamble $30 million to try to buiuld one elsewhere offshore.
But neither you nor your mogul masters give a damn about the rest of us.

Distasteful doesn't half do it - imagine how ashamed their children and grandchildren will be.

Thanks for turning us on to this.
I love this part, "Imagine, though, Bush taking out an ad, creating a Web site and going on television apologizing to the American people, as well as those beyond our borders, for having misled us into war, for not responding quicker when Katrina hit and for ignoring clear reasoning on just about every other issue. It's a fantasy, indeed, because unlike JetBlue whose performance will depend on its survival, the president's conduct does not depend on any such notion."

The MA Legislature implemented a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) because it wanted to encourage renewable energy for environmental gains, fuel diversity, economic development & energy production needs. The Legislation provides that all electric retailers must have a growing percentage of renewable energy as part of their sales portfolio. They must purchase Renewable Energy Credits from renewable energy producers.
Is Ms. Durkin angry because if Cape Wind is built it will bring more RECs to the market thereby increasing the supply and lowering the price that electricity consumers pay for RECs or is she advocating that RECs be eliminated for every renewable energy project or only for Cape Wind in Nantucket Sound??
How about an answer

Nice job, Dick. You scooped the daily again.

Nice writing, Paulette. I had never considered a Club Med, but you may have convinced me.
Would a literate, thirty-something writer enjoy it with her S.O.?

Like when she said,
"It's very expensive to be me. It's terrible the things I have to do to be me."
or
"Marrying into money was not a good thing for me."
and my fav,
"I don't drink as much as I use to could."

David, did you once work at the Orleans Booksmith?

Great reporting Tim, and congratulate Frank Paparo on that Main St. Hyannis photo which BTW I needed see in the daily this morning.

Ah, dear KMA, another over 35 humorless man heard from ;>)
Listen to any media other than Boston and you'll reaize we're the laughing stock of the country.

Puritan and Wallaces represent two failures to change with the times.
There are many Cape Cod businesses which have prospered during the same "big box store" period.
Take Wallace's next door neighbor, Orleans camera & Video. They have reinvented themselves several times in the last twenty years and are stronger than ever today.
Take this very online newspaper. It's kicking the pants off the "big media" giants who own most of the rest of our local media.
The money is always out there - only the pockets change.

Jack, you're dissembling and you know it;
there is a 3,000 dead soldier & the $1.2 TRILLION dollar difference between using the UN authorized "NoFly Zone" bombing and inmvading a soverign nation which had nothing whatever to do with 911 ACCORDING TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

Jack, we didn't "choose" Iraq as the battleground, the Arab militants picked it for us because we were there to avenge Bush's daddy and/or control more oil, which is now lost to us forever due to the zero planning and incompetence of thinkers like you and the NeoCons.

The "Holy Father" is neither.

Thank God someone will finally expose that meany-mouth hypocrite for the Teddy "go-fer" he is.

Contratulations Tim, when you start attracting the wackos like the ones The Editors mention above, it means you are REALLY being read by everyone, even the jerks who can't walk and chew gum at the same time ;>)
You're doing a great job and the rest of us all appreciate your work and read your column the first every morning.

Those fools don't realize they are making you even more famous !!!

My heart bleeds for you. Howvery, very sad.
I enjoy your blog and hope you write more, but your websites will never help you - it is not a good marketing site.
You should ask readers to check out Scrap 'n Craftz and tell you what's wrong with it.
I can't because I'm still in mourning over you closing your very useful and much-neeed business here.

"Scary"? Are you kidding? Cherie is SIZZLING.
I'm throwing in the towel and entering a Nunnery today !

"Buffalo Bill" Delahunt is amazing. I call him that because he's "buffaloed" the public on so many issue;
1- He cozies up to America's worst enemy in this hemishpere, Venezuela's Chevez,
2- He tries to stop America's first offshore wind farm, but flies off to Germany this week to search for a company willing to put a wind farm up further offshore.
3- He kow-tows to Senator Obama in his usually unctuous manner.

Aren't you being presumptive in claiming to know what Gloria Larson would do?
You're giving "callow youth" a bad name.

Congratulations Sean and the whole WCAI-NAN gang. This is a stunning achievement for a new and timy local NPR station, and much deserved.
The series was VERY, VERY good and shocking as well.

Don't forget your war bonnet ;>)

HEY !
Just keep those women away from my Chihuahua !!!

I was being sarcastic about Crude's warped attitude vs a vis race. Sorry if I offended your sensibilities.

Yeah, especially since they aren't black and well-hung, right Crude-sadist?

In that case you'd be carrying a torch and writing blogs for them.

Yeah, and a MMA cadet said she was a lousy date.

How the staff of The Cape Codder can lend credibility to the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound after all the corrupt and illegal actions of this phoney big-money cabal, defies reason and suggests a lack of professionalism which should have Mal Hobbs and John Ullman spinning in their graves.

Shame on you.

Big vote in the Massachusetts Legislature today - they voted down the gay marriage ban. ... It was a very close vote 43 voted 'yea,' 44 voted 'nay,' and 3 voted 'fabulous !'"

You are a crypto-fascist!

"A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends."
- Henry A. Wallace

"In a good cause, hypocrisy becomes virtue." - Priscus, AD 380

WOW ! Barb & Dona redux.
Logic and reason mean nothing to zealots.
It's like arguing with the Islamist terrorists in Iraq, but these babes are even crazier !

I bought the Sunday Times today:
$2.00 and ONE local dateline story (the CCTech-Ipswich game) in the front section, everything else wire services and "life style" B.S.

I bought my local weekly (The Cape Codder) yesterday:
75¢ and EVERY story in the front section had a local dateline, all thirty of them!!!

"Stupid" doesn't do them justice - our daily is owned by Dow Jone$ which requires they return about 1/3 profit to their off cape HQ or else.
The entire newspaper industry hasn't a clue about what readers want. We want LOCAL news, not wire service tripe.
The obituary page is the second-best read page by anyone over 35.

What a travesty!
All except Wolf are bought and paid for opponents to the wind farm.
WOW !

Please save us Dan.

Rolf, this is one of the easiest to read "history lessons" I've ever read.
Congratulations!

Remember Casandra-
Sorry guys, I agree with Mary Zep.
ENOUGH ALREADY!
The trial is over. It was justice by any previous Cape Cod trial standard - not perfect, simply the best in the world - but it's over.
There are many issues which are of vital importance to us, our children and the future.
Let's see if we can pay a little more attention to them, and do so with a greater degree of civility and taste.
I don't always agree with Zep, but she makes me think, and often about subjects I was trying NOT to think about.
Be careful Mary... remember Casandra.

How embarrassing it must be for Ms Nickerson's children to have a parent trying to prevent the establishment of America's First Offshore Renewable Energy Wind Farm!

They are fighting against energy independence by making sure that this so-called "national treasure" remain "pristine" for the fat cats to sail their Wianno Seniors and for fishing boats to continue to dredge and despoil the sea bottom.

Hey, I live in Greenwich CT, and this little mansion would pass the test in my posh village.

A good time to add the quote on the left of this blog;

"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought... Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings." - John F. Kennedy

Now if our local daily newspaper would stop promoting myths by Carroll, Vinick and the rest of their motley crew and get on with the business of saving America from terrorits and more 9/11's by promoting renewable energy EVEN IF IT INTERFERS WITH TED KENNEDY'S OCEAN VIEW.

It's the oil, stupid !

The Alliance apologists will use "the big lie" just as Nazi propagadist Geobbels did in Germany in the 1930's, and if they shout their lies enough, some will come to believe their ravings, as the German people did.

But the Osterville crowd has bottom-feeders like Koch, Yearley and their seasonal neighbors willing to spending $3,000,000 (theat's three million) a year to stop America's first renewable energy offshore wind farm BECAUSE THEY OWN OIL COMPANIES.

Like Iraq, "IT'S THE OIL STUPID !"

I'm me. Who are YOU?
And why are you hiding behind that phony name.
The more you rave the surer I am who you are, L.C.
If you have a charge to make, make it, but cut out this bull-shank.

I have a friend who knew Aaron when he worked at DSS. He says Aaron was viciously attacked and harassed there by a cruel homephobe who sounds just like Bub's Lola above.

Lola will eventually be "outed" whether he/she wants to be or not, because it is obvious that Lola has no facts, just an aberrant anger.

Get help, girl. You need it, and go harass someone else.

There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.

Chris is distressed because the new media is breaking the old media's monoploy on information. I never heard of Andy before he blogged, and now I can't wait to vote for him on Tuesday.

Buckley has proven himself a gentleman during his ex-wife's attempts to drag her personal issues with him into the campaign,and he reminds me of Shirley Gomes' great dignity under fire during Sarah Peahe's ungentlewomanly attacks on her two years ago. Peake's unseemly campaigning drove a great lady into early retrement.

To KMA Re; Gay candidates;
There are six candidates running in the 4th District.
Half are gay;
Democrats Sarah Peake and Ray Gottwald, and Republican Aaron Maloy.

One-third are from Chatham, Buckley (R) and Bergstrom (D).

One-third are are from Harwich, Howell (R) and Gottwald (D).

If Maloy (R) and Peake (D) win on Tuesday, there will be two openly gay candidates running for the same office.

Ain't Cape Politic grand?!?!

...and the bear doesn't s*** in the woods, either.

Or stupid and selfish, Monponsett.

Welcome to the Blogosphere, Nee Nee. We look forward to your tips.

Neil & Babs - will you two just "get it on" and stop your "kiss-butt" dance in public.

Great start CCMNH.
I look forward to reading more from my favorite nature site.
