As that killer oil slick begins to ooze ashore in Louisiana, Treasurer Tim warns that cute little Dutch windmills actually make deadly carcinogens.
But speaking of the Treasurer, a request: Could the Republican Governors go back to whatever backwater county seat they come from? Voice-of-Godding about "our" state taxes and lottery? Last I checked, we don't have any Republican Governors in this state to lecture us. South Shore Republican warns negative ads will only help to sink the nascent Republican boom in Massachusetts:
... Republicans have a reputation(fairly or not) for being nasty, dishonest, and willing to do anything to win and hostile negative ads like those being pushed by the RGA are exactly the type of thing that turn off the people of the middle (even if they achieve their short term goal) and particularly those of the other party. We only recently recovered our reputations from those kind of advertisements, but you know with Tim "the Slimer" O'Brien now on board we can expect a return to it as fast as humanly possible. ...
Like the job UHub is doing? Consider a contribution. Thanks!

I was just thinking this morning that between the Louisiana oil spill and the Cape Wind project approval, there's a hell of an Onion article brewing.
Headline: "Cape Wind Project explosion leads to toxic fan spill"
Sub-headline: "Nantucket beaches on high watch for propeller wash on shore"
Somewhere in the body there'd be mention of the hundreds of species in the area that could be affected by the turbines "coating" the landscape and concern that clean-up crews might need to light the fans on fire in order to burn them off before they reach shore.
where does he say that?

Where does he say anything about windmills causing cancer?
Also, for the love of humanity, would someone teach the people at Blue Mass Group how to use HTML links?
OK, you caught me - he doesn't actually say they cause cancer

He says they're not as benign as those nefarious Dutch would have us believe and that Cape Wind is "an industrial-sized plant in Nantucket Sound."
I am guilty (again) of hyperbole.
Still...

29 coal miners killed last month.
11 workers missing, presumed dead, and a ginormous ecological disaster occurring in the Gulf.
And these people are worried about their sight-lines?!?
Maybe some hyperbole is called for.
oops- sorry, missed that

My hyperbole detector wasn't working.
