Walter, that's a brilliant ides. The bridge is increasingly becoming THE symbol of Boston and the fast that his grandfather's name is already on it is too coincidental to ignore.

Bethany, your reporting just gets better and better.
Did the town have a permit like you or I must have had?
Why are they slinking around at night?
Isn't that dangerous?

YAO MING NEWS: Cape Wind Associates announced today that to honor the Crap Crud Slimes for its highly imaginative reporting on the project, they will name their transmission cable "The Yao Ming/CC Times Cable."

Mr. Doherty, I believe you have finally qualified for Andre Gide's admonition, “The true hypocrite is the one who ceases to perceive his deception, the one who lies with sincerity.”

Or as Daniel Schorr advised a budding TV talking-head, "Sincerity: if you can fake it, you've got it made."

You're got it made, BS Bill.

Me thinks there is a classic family struggle going on.
Ted wants Vickie to succeed him, but cannot afford to alienate Joe.
And Joe wants the seat, but can't run for it openly until Ted is done.
I think that's what behind the Joe for Oil ads. And also why Vickie is accompanying Ted everywhere
except the Senate floor (Patrick does that.)

Here's the start of Cosby's speech at the NAACP on the 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education;

"Ladies and gentlemen, these people set -- they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have 50% drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they’re pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn’t hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don’t know that today..."

Kennedy has become a sad, self-centered old fool.
The news stories tonight reported another 55,000 jobs lost just today, and this spoiled, aged brat thinks only of himself.
Why in God's name didn't we see the evil in this man years ago?

Great review, Anne. Welcome to the best news site on Cape Cod

Now THAT's a great way to spend the holidays.
Thanks for the story, Walter.

CBI is a class act. It's really quite wonderful that the Cape's premier resort i willing and eager to reach out to local residents, especially during these tough times.

The report didn't state the police were driving the van, only that two registered police vehicles were being towed at greatly, excessive speeds on a dangerous highway.
Route 6 is in the State Police jurisdiction, not the local department's.

Imagine that, a registered sex offender shot in the penis?
No wonder the brother didn't want his name used!
God, you gotta love these people.

It's even simple than that - Windy used her own corrupted figures instead of the state's or by checking with the dozen local chambers all of whom would have told her the opposite - there were about the same number of visitors spending less money - it's the recession, stupid.

Unintended results; "Indeed, some of the most controversial passages in the Robbins Report post on dredging were removed months ago at Revere's request. Now, those same comments appear in court papers, a matter of public record." (From the Globe article)

CCJON, when you write "I object to the use of public land by a private entity for private enterprise" are you telling us you are unaware that your government leases "public land" and "public ocean floor" to the oil companies for energy exploration, and that Cape Wind will pay more royalties than they do to the US Treasury since our oil-connected president has "forgiven" the fees due from oil companies.

And are you equally unaware that when electricity enters the National Grid it goes like water in a garden hose to the nearest users?

Come on, either you are pulling our leg, stupid or one of the jackels described above.

Are you aware that gas will one day cost $10 a gallon, not the $5 it will reach later this year?

There was a mad politico from Tallin,
Who pined for the days of dear Stalin.
He taxed all cow moans
In dollars or kroons*
And shipped all the do-do to Holland.

"The Klimm Spin" will only stop when enough citizens get their news reporting from this online newspaper rather than the old media which is in his pocket.

It's fair to ask if any of these public health problems would have EVER been addressed by the town had not Peter Robbins exposed the danger - dangers to towns people and visitors which had been allowed to fester and worsen for decades.

Please ignore Monponsett's strange affection for old men, but this museum is among the great treasures on Cape Cod - right up there with Woods Hole Oceanographic, our 365 kettle ponds, Mom, apple pie and cranberries.

Crude, you can't afford to buy a used car from anyone, and Jim Gordon isn't a washashore, he lives in Boston and there is no one on Cape Cod with a billion dollars as far as I know, and he proposed the project - he took it away from no one..
God, you are a really stupid, uniformed jerk. Thank God you moved off cape to Somerville - that town suits you to a T-shirt.

Kenney is bought & paid for - Wattley owns him, as anyone who saw his idiotic local TV show knows.
Really, Kenney, you should be smart enough to disguise your venality a little better.
And you were not at any of the MMS hearings yourself because you are such a compete failure you usually can't feed you car.

The kid's a genius. No wonder this virtual news(paper) is the best read around!

Do you mean the Islamic terrorists who were NOT in Iraq until we invaded?
Or do you mean the 9/11 Islamic terrorists who all except one came from Saudi Arabia which is a client of George W's daddy, the Texas oil man?

Author and wit George S. Kaufman once said, "Satire is what closes on Saturday night."
Luckily it's Friday. Great skewering, Solonicus.

The Globe story also says billionaire casino developer Sheldon Adelson is talking with legislative leaders about a casino on Interstate 495 where it intersects with the turnpike.

Justice Kennedy's abortion choice reminds me of the choice Bush gave poor Blacks on how to evacuate from New Orleans after Katrina; "Row v wade"

De-criminalize drug use.
Prohibition CREATED the Mafia.
Drug laws created the drug lords of today and corrupted law enforcement with unlimited money.
Let free people in a democracy either make their lives good or bad - we're supposed to be free, and anyone who wants to drink or drug themselves to death has that right too.
We should offer help, and keep offering it, but you can't control another's behavior, hell, it's hard enough to control our own sometimes isn't it?
Alcohol is now sold in stores where the "users" can know what they are getting - AND THE STATE SETS THE TAX MONEY INSTEAD OF THE DRUG LORDS.
Do the same with drugs and use the tax money for drug and ALCOHOL education.

Then ask them how many of you pot and heroin users started by drinking alcohol..
I'll give you their answer; 100%.
No country has EVER successfully legislated morality.

C'est un betail servile et sot a mon avis Que les imitateurs.
- Imitators are a slavish herd and fools in my opinion.

Don't be silly, LeeAnn, everyone knows there ain't no Sanity Clause.

... whereas kissing under Holly just make's Holly's hubby huffy

Steve is one of the smartest marketing guys I've ever met. I often disagree with him on politics, but never on marketing, and this looks like a very bad marketing decision on the part of the new governor - there will be other elections you know, as "the Duke" discovered to his chagrin ;>)

Gee KMA, it was poor. delicate, little Monpo who got hurt.

Great aerial pic.
