To add insult to injury... all MA gun license holders are put into the Massachusetts criminal database. Fingerprints, mugshot, everything.

Single moms buying 445,000 dollar houses with no money down. I LOVE this country.

*** But an unnamed source told this reporter that he out-sourced the arrest much as President Bush has out-sourced the war itself. *** -- Walter, you coward. You used this garbage from an unnamed source as a HEADLINE (with no mention of unnamed source allegations) in my daily email from CCToday.

That is the lowest thing yet.

-- Bush has called the Constitution "that damn piece of paper",has used more "signing statements" than any other President --

Those are both lies.

Clinton had over twice as many signing statements - 370 for Clinton to 159 for Bush.

And Doug Thompson was busted lying about the "piece of paper" thing http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/did_president_bush_call_the_constitution_a.html

Hitting one point home, I am *never* left asking questions after reading a PK article.. well no question that could have been easily answered by any journalist worth their salt anyway. Nine times out of ten when reading an article from the old media, I ask myself "Why the hell didn't they delve into xxxxxxx? I would have!". And I know I am not alone whenever I ask that. Reading news should not be a frustrating experience.

It is never an issue here.

My hat, as usual is off to you Peter, and Walter, and CWN of course :) Count me in as one who would still be a very happy reader with even a 1:1 ratio of excellent reporting and self-congratulations such as this article. If there is any justice in the world, someone will immortalize some of the long overdue words and truth in the above article. Regardless though, the happening is right on the mark and the old media is crumbling in all the right places where us readers will no longer support it.

A Cohen in Mashpee is *not* a fish out of water.... since New Seabury anyhoo... :p

I look forward to the writings about video games. I dunno about his whole Mac thing but Zork, Miner 2049'er and a few others were ported back in the day so there might be some amusement and nostalgia there. Right now my Apple IIc is sitting in front of me on a shelf with the monitor pointed down, looking rather dejected. Serves it right.

Blog on and welcome!

Oh, and welcome to the blogs :)

For over six years now, I never actually encountered any traffic within Cape Cod that made me late for an appointment... but since so many people talk about it I just leave for my appointments later and show up late anyway and blame traffic.

--- the folks "mouthing-off" with bad-faith personal attacks & accusations are damaging their own credibility far-more than anyone they're attacking. ---

I have not seen any credibility damaged, other than tribe leaders. Did the tribe leaders attack someone? I got here late so I may have missed something.

I TiVo'ed Peter on NECN last night. He was very professional and well spoken. I am impressed with the quality of his investigiation and the integrity of how he has been reporting his findings all along.

In the upper left of the greenhouse photo is an eerie image of old Mr. Throckmorton. If you zoom in and rotate the pic, you will notice how he met his fate....

I think we should judge the facts of the matter:

Oh, man. I am so sorry. I tried for a few hours but my type-A got the best of me......

-- supressed --

(sic)

-- Failure of peope (sic) to agree with you is not the same as being supressed or censored. --

Well said. She won't buy it though.

They never come to grips with that sort of thing. To do so is death to them.

Zoom in on the photo. That is not a mound of trash. That is a mound of art supplies. There is very, VERY little trash there. (The woman still needs some serious help, of course)

--- To have them just take our money and run is criminal. ---

Are you saying your insurance company never actually insured you?

--- Experts that said that if Vietnam fell, it would be perilous to our way of life. ---

If Vietnam fell without a fight it would have hurt us bad. Communism is STILL as perilous to our way of life as it was during the Vietnam era. We fought hard enough to show the communists that Capitalists do not go down without a fight... well the Democrats and the French do but they favor the commies anyway while reaping the benefits of operating within a Capitalist society.

--- Maybe you should focus on the present and the administration that lied to the country to go to war. ---

The liars are the people repeating this lie over and over.

My hat is off to you, Rolf.

I am old enough (barely) to remember that "scientists" were telling us that a mini ice age was upon us and getting worse. I remember those same voices telling us that AIDS was going to explode onto the heterosexual population. I remember SARS and I am still hearing all about the Bird Flu.

Condoms and face masks are peanuts compared to the business that is affected by a mass brainwashing of so-called Global Warming.

I only hope most people are smart enough to realize the dinks who are leading the charge are the same old characters who have been losers on everything they tried to lay their mitts on for decades now.

-- I can pretty much guarantee that those cops who busted the heroin people at the Eastern Inn walked right past the room of the biggest crack dealer on the Upper Cape. --

If you are so smart about policework, why don't you go make a citizens arrest instead of bashing the police with a straw man argument?

Bring me a picture, Monponsett and I will count the heads. Each and every one.

-- AP had "tens of thousands" there. Who lies? --

That "tens of thousands" was from an early AP article written and distributed BEFORE the protest even started to gather that morning.

Most later AP articles changed the term to "thousands". Some outlets ran with the old article because it fit their personal wishes.

Check the methodology of the AP on how they came upon the figure "tens of thousands". I think you will be surprised.

-- And at least 100,000 people did so --

I counted a little over 3,000.

The left lies.

-- It seems strange that Senator Kennedy remains opposed to our best chance to benefit our health and our pocketbooks --

Ummmm..... Hyannisport compound.. waterview.. do the math?

Is there a meaning of the word "strange" that I am missing?

Military Times is owned by the left-wing Gannett Publishing. The newspaper is in no way affiliated with the US military and has nothing to do with the military other than spreading propaganda through cleverly worded polls and Mooreish "reporting".

An engineering marvel.

Jersey-barrier the double yellow line up and down the bridge.

Problem solved.

Not many people understand the genius of the Jersey barrier.

I have to admit that it was cool when Mihos dumped Citgo a few days ago, but MAN is that guy obnoxiously rude and annoying.

Perot the Spoiler got my vote and my full respect back in '92. Mihos the gnat-boy gets nothing but a puzzled look from me.

I say Healy '06 all the way. (And I am glad Deval is a corporate lackie because I am quite sure he is going to win regardless of my Healy vote)

No debate? Then we shall have to do our own legwork.

Beatty comes out way ahead.

I am rooting for Beatty for more than one reason.

--- the GOP is quite comfortable with the experiment in anarchy ---

Anarchy?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

STFU, Spiro.

I was there, and they were on private property.

Most of them, anyway.

-- Globe circulation drops 20% in 4 years --

Let 'em hang.

W00t!

I wouldn't really mind seeing some Gabreili signs there. He is the least of the three evils in case of the off chance that a Dem could actually reclaim the office after almost fifteen years.

I may show up.

--- It must not be since the writer of this blog chooses not to even discuss the issue she brought up. ---

The writer of this blog used the term "fear mongering". The only fear I have *ever* seen displayed is by one chick who duct taped her house back in 2003 and died from it.

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/ducttape.asp

Us Americans have been flying around the globe and buying oil in record numbers. I don't think fear is a concern except in the mind of left-wing naysayers who have nothing to win elections with.

Global warming, Bush, AIDS or the Bird Flu didn't bring down the Twin Towers.

Who is fear-mongering?

Midnights: A Year With the Wellfleet Police

A sufficiently entertaining read.

--- Bush finally admitted at his 8/21 press conference, when asked what Iraq had to do with September 11th: "Nothing." ---

And Pearl Harbor had nothing to do with Germany... but we still fought the Germans in WWII.

I am sure there were Nazi sympathizers in the US back then who cried their little eyes out that we weren't going after Japan hard enough. Al-Qaeda sympathizers nowadays are real mad that we are in Iraq.

-- By the way there is another Arthur Miller, he works at Harvard Law. --

I worked with that Arthur Miller at Americounsel.com. It got old having to say "No, the *other* Arthur Miller.. Miller's Court? Channel Five?".

I possess the masters of some Americounsel.com commercials where Arthur cracks lawyer jokes to the rimshots of a studio drummer. "What do you call 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?".

Good times.

While my typing here may seem all calm and normal-like, I assure you that I am laughing my everloving butt off over here, Monponsett.

Good one.

-- Please explain what we have accomplished with our occupation of Iraq --

The same thing that is accomplished when you knock out the biggest bully in the crowd. The other lesser, wannabe bullies are now only left with the option of crying their eyes out for sympathy from the leftists of the world.

When Saddam invaded Kuwait, he let his true colors show. When we invaded Iraq, we let *our* true colors show. We had 74 nations behind us when we invaded Iraq. 31 of them went in with us. Saddam had ZERO nations behind him when he invaded Kuwait.

That and the 14 military bases we now have in Iraq are a great head start for the eventual war we are going to have in the Middle-east. If you have not noticed, the leaders of Iraq dig us somewhat and those bases of ours are there FOREVER.

Perhaps you thought that Carter and Clinton had the right idea of ignoring the festering problem?

Joe Lieberman did not ignore the will of the citizens in his district. It was a DEMOCRAT primary. He ignored 51 percent of the registered Democrats. The Independents and the Republicans will vote him in. 49 Percent of the Democrats, 90 percent of the Independents and a smattering of GOP voters do not share the will of some Democrats who happened to win a Democratic primary. Big whoop.

"it appears that because a couple of special interest groups wield influence on Beacon Hill" - Dick

Could you be a little more precise?

McCarthy was a true American hero.

Maybe you should have included his whole quote, Zep:

"The reason why we find ourselves in a position of impotency is not because our only powerful, potential enemy has sent men to invade our shores, but rather because of the traitorous actions of those who have been treated so well by this nation."

You seemed to have left that part off.

How odd.

The spirit of the law coincides with my values, but the law sucks on this one.

That picture of Keith Adamson made me laugh. The oval crop makes it look like a Hallmark card or something.

--- Truro Police are warning contractors to take their tools with then after a series of larcenies in the town. -----

The Truro police did not warn me.

You did.

Kudos.

I *went* to urban high school in Boston for many years (1976-1988) and can pull higher rank.

Homes is an abbreviation of homeslice or homeboy. There is no L. The L was put there by people who projected their knowledge of Sherlock Holmes onto a term foreign to them. Have you ever heard of "Holmey the Clown" or a "Holmboy"?

I though not.

An urban youth would shun a silent L when scribbling rap lyrics or perhaps graffiti. Trust me.

-- There was an argument at the bar, and they must have gone outside to exchange blows. --

Oh be-have!!

-- Our Founding Fathers knew the rules of syntax, and the significance of the words, “We the People.” --

Do you feel the same way about the rules of syntax regarding the Second Amendment?

-- the war in Iraq is in no manner comparable to World War II --

I disagree.

WWII was a war fought for world domination. This war is no different as far as I can tell.

On the surface, it seems like a small stakes war. If you follow the money and the propaganda, this war reaches pretty far into what is in reality a global conflict. The stakes are truly high. GW Bush is not as stupid as the lefties paint him... and they know it. (Well the sheep don't know it).

Admin - You may want to fix the CBS link. It is off a bit :)

-- Keep it up, Holmes --

It's homes, homey.... unless you were inferring that RK is second fiddle to Sherlock :)

Excellent post, RK. This is why I read these blogs. I love when people speak their mind and use their own words and thoughts. I have not seen any chatter on this so-called hate speech topic come down the pike lately. Most leftist posts are like directives that trickle down in predictable fashion all with the same quotes, links, and buzzwords. This is so refreshing. Thanks.

Good stuff, Robert. I look forward to more gems like this. Frankly, I never knew that the press was even capable of squeaking out 17 positive articles out of 1300 regarding our brave and dedicated troops. They must have buried the stories in the Food section or something.

-- On the other hand I think it's fair to say the earth is warmer than it was 20 years ago --


Hellooo, McFly!! :)

I am not being funny or anything, but I clearly remember Christmas Eve of 1985 when I was sweating my family jewels off in my leather pants outdoors (as was the style in them days). I also remember my heating bills for the last seven years and all but one blew dog. 2001 wasn't so bad but I swore we were heading for a dang Ice Age with all the rest. I have never had such bad winters in my short life.

Good post though. I liked it.

One degree? One freaking degree?? Is this a joke? What thermometers were they using in 1000 A.D.?

I was so sure you were dating yourself with Hustler magazine, Monponsett, but I checked, and that thing is still around! ("Dating yourself" with Hustler magazine.. lol.. I made a funny)

Where is this Wing School in Sandwich, for the benefit of fence-sitters who may be prodded to donate stuff on the spur of the moment?

--- who intensified the debate over the war in Iraq last November by calling for a phased withdrawal ---

Wrong!!

Murtha called for an immediate withdrawal.

- Section 1. The deployment of United States Forces in Iraq, by direction of Congress, is hereby terminated and forces involved are to be redeployed at the earliest practicable date.

Wise up, Coleman.

At the very least, invest in a dictionary and look up the word "practible".
