Maverick owns a charter boat and knows that the dredging by our commercial fishermen has already destroyed and ripped to shreds the entire sea bottom of Nantucket Sound, and done so for a hundred years.
The tribe is just sucking up to Delshunt and the late Sen. Kennedy is hopes of getting some more free taxpayer money from Washington and permission to rewrite both history and the laws governing tribal lands.
Mav, I'm surprised at you. You were once an fair man.

When I was with AOL, I used to get 50 IMs a day from guys who liked my work so much that hey had to rub one out and tell me about it.
It's pretty much why I try to make everyone here think that my real name is Stacey Monponsett. I like stalkers to hit the wall early in their search. I had one show up at my door before i got my sh*t together, but I let the Colonel deal with him.
The pats are a fine team with a very shaky pass defense. They won't go deep unless they either A) outscore everyone or B) one of the rookie secondary players turns into a f*cking all star. I like Butler, who is fast and fluid.

He warned us that the president says he will cut health-care spending, by adding $1 trillion to health-care spending.
Morris reminded us that Obama will replace the most “expensive care” with the “best care” by empowering government bureaucrats who have never met you to substitute their judgment for that of your doctor.
The president will “get the politics out of health care” by putting it under government control.

How much money do you think I'd have to spend to come up with some dirt on you?
Let's see... ex-cop... lot of potential there. I wonder if you roughed anyone up? Maybe you grabbed a whore off the street now and then ("Don't move child, got a big black stick"), or, better yet, maybe there's some pictures of you with a little rich fat boy?
Or maybe there aren't... or maybe I don't know how to Photoshop that well. A good investigator could probably refute it... but that'll be well after it's on the front page.
When they find you innocent, it's always on page 16 or something. Trust me, son... I've been there.
Remember that I murdered a girl, fled the scene, didn't report it for a while... and still kept my Senate seat. I can pick my teeth with a punk like you, boy.

To be honest... I've met Hillary a few times, and she fails to respond to that legendary Kennedy charm. She showed no desire to feel The Senior Senator's scotch-and-soda electricity.
We all know what that means... and the White House can't afford another deviant Clinton running around... especially after 8 years of that evil little monkey we have in office now.
Barack is the man. It's about time we had a black President, and he should be able to whip that Romney punk easily enough.
Hell... Mitzy ran against me back in the day, and I polished his bigamist ass off like a double vodka and cranberry.... and I've killed a woman.
Obama hasn't killed anyone, he has a pretty good handle on the basketball court, and he doesn't seem to scare elderly white southerners that much. We're not running Malcolm X here....
If he fouls up this campaign, I might jump in and save the Democrats in 2012.... I'd straighten those Muz right out, and any windfarms you build will be torn down to make way for 750,000,000 ml Ted Kennedy statues.

To John's questions:
1) Bitches dig Senators.
2) I'm a Mass liberal, so the Demos like me. I'm also very, very wealthy... so the GOP love me, too.
3) It's very windy on top of the Bunker Hill monument, or in Pearl Harbor, too... and I don't sail those spots. Build it there.
I think wind blows all over the planet, and the reason this guy is focusing on my sail yard is that it's where he can build it cheaply.

In response to: Whatever Happened to Local Control of the Local Public Domain?
I don't recall Alliance chair Mihos having public comment forums before he began putting three wind turbines on most his gas stations, visual pollution which we must all see every day we drive along Rt. 28 in the Mid Cape whereas most Cape Codders will never see the turbines Cape Wind will build 6 miles offshore.
In response to: The Chin Dynasty
Many analysts say that Sarge's work was what made the difference between the first hundred-hour Gulf War and the current meat grinder we're in.
They tell me that Stacey has been to the Courtyard, and that it's not bad... for a pub. You can get ice cream next door, which is a plus.
Maybe I'll go down there and have a few words with Jay. If he gets out of line, I'll slap him around a bit.

In response to: Death of a runner
I've never been much of a runner, unless I was chasing a soccer ball. I'm pretty quick, but I doubt that I could play a full high school-level soccer game any more.
Did you ever do a Gurnet Classic Beach Run, Jack? They used to do those off Duxbury Beach when I was a kid-kid. They say Rogers and Salazar were going step for step one year, probably late 70s or so.

In response to: Liveblogging the game.... kinda
Stacey can go out in public, Stacey can watch baseball, and Stacey can consume alcohol (she's French...they have it with like lunch and stuff there). What Stacey can't do is consume alcohol while watching baseball in public.
Audree is much stronger than Stacey is, and no doubt feels that the physical restraint she exerted during similar circumstances at Smith still holds weight... and even in text message form, she most likely feels as if she can control her if things fall apart in the 7th inning or so.
Remember.... after a while, Pavlov merely had to ring the f***ing bell.... no longer was the Chuck Wagon necessary.

By "breaks," I mean "Tim Duncan breaks his leg right before we see the Spurs in the NBA Finals."
Still... that's better than most years recently.
I'm rooting for the Bruins to goon it up, as I prefer my hockey games to be swirling brawls.
The Sox get closer to the Yankers every day, and I just may have to kill someone if it's like .5 games in late September.
The Patriots look pretty goddamned good right now, especially when you consider how much ass the rest of the decision sucks right now. We should beat the Jets, the Fish, and the Bills like they were mouthy stepchildren.
There are no guarantees in life. The best we can hope for is that the descent will be amusing. We currently have that setup in 3 of our 4 pro sports teams.

She also says that the worst tides/storms for east-facing beaches like Duxbury or Manomet (or Chatham, I suppose) are the late winter-early spring ones, as that's when the tides are nastiest.
This storm is a Plains breeze right now... but when it gets off the coast Sunday... Boo Ya.

In response to: Ahead Of Its Time
I wake with the sun, go to sleep with the werewolves, and generally just walk around kicking ass. The concept of time is for Victims...ie, "What time did the attack occur?"
Funk that. You'll notice that all 4 dead hippies at Kent State were wearing wristwatches. The doomed 9-11 flights were most likely rigidly timed. Time is one of those false concepts of security that only gets in the way when you're trying to run/kill/steal.
I rely on gut instinct. I would have been in off-campus housing at Kent the minute my friends started hurling rocks at the 200 guys with the assault rifles. I can also say that either myself or that sweating-out-of-context Syrian looking guy would have been off Flight 666, or whatever the f*** flight it was.
The average American doesn't live 79.6 years... the average American lives until their heart stops beating.

He's just making up for all that pension time John Quincy Adams missed by dying in the House... "at the post of duty," as Henry Clay might have said.
If I can get paid a pre-Kopechne level pension, I'd get that middle ground between Senator and shoo-in presidential candidate.

In response to: What Does it Mean to be a Democrat?
You must want Bush to hang. Clinton told a little white lie while in office. Bush tells lies that are positively dripping with blood.
I mean, Newt broke a few oaths of his own during that time... to a power even greater than the Constitution.
I wouldn't vote for Newt Gingrich to serve as anything higher than a dogcatcher... a role to which he is quite well suited. Health to the dogs!

In response to: Is Ann Coulter An Asset to the Republican Party?
Well...kinda... but I digress...
The point I'm making is that John Edwards should stalk Coulter, then approach her at a speaking engagement. Rather than beating her, though... he should just straight bang her out on stage.... then be like "John Edwards is all Man, ho... now go make me some bacon, and shut up."
She'd do it, too... in all my years practicing psychology (and taking part in the S+M scene), I have never seen a woman crying out for a dominant male presence in her life as badly as Ann Coulter is.
I'm telling you... one night with, say, Rodney Harrison... and Ann would be wearing a peasant dress and voting Libertarian. I see this sort of thing all the time.

In response to: Workers at Harwich Stop & Shop are ready to walk!
Sure, I have power, mansions, boats, stock... but sometimes, the world can be a cruel and unfair place.
I suppose I can hire the striking produce worker to go to Plymouth for me... but the point I make is still valid.
