Posted by admin / Under Cape Turnagain
DEVELOPING: NEW CASTLE, Del. -- Police on Friday afternoon came to the home of a 17-year-old high school junior to ask her about direct online communications she has had with Rep. Anthony Weiner.

Your Tax Dollars At Work: Caped Crusader Edition
Posted by admin / Under Cape Turnagain
If the country weren’t in such bad financial shape, this would actually be funny. Or at least, you know, fun to mock, in a disbelieving sort of way. It seems that the state of Florida is spending a boatload of cash in order to buy capes for the jobless. I guess it’s to make them feel good about being unemployed or something. According to the Orlando Sentinel: Dubbed the “Cape-A-Bility Challenge,” a $73,000 public-relations campaign by Workforce Central Florida features a cartoon character named “Dr. Evil Unemployment” and includes handing out about 6,000 red superhero capes to jobless Central Floridians…...

Cape Wind backers blew right by cost (by $2.5 billion)
Posted by admin / Under Cape Turnagain
Amid the maelstrom of controversy over the nation’s first offshore wind farm, one truth is as plain as the proposed 440-foot turbines in Nantucket Sound are tall: Its energy will be very expensive. That’s not just compared with power from coal and natural gas, but with renewable power from other sources. Once the 130 turbines begin rotating, the energy produced will cost up to 50 percent more than energy today from some land-based wind farms and twice as much as some hydroelectric dams. The cost will increase customers’ monthly electric bills about 2 percent, and for many that is too...

Need help finding sports apparel (vanity)
Posted by admin / Under Cape Turnagain
Folks, I need to find a coat / jacket / cape that I saw at a high school football game. The weather was really cold and the players on the sidelines had a cape / jacket type cover. It did not appear to be just a XXXL type jacket. Rather it seemed to be DESIGNED to go over the pads. I've done a Google search but don't really know what I'm looking for search word wise. Can anyone offer some insight or point me to a vendor? Thanks

Sarah Palin Mo. Rally Live Thread
Posted by admin / Under Cape Turnagain
6:30 at the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau, Mo. The line has already wrapped around nearly the whole grounds of this 6500 person venue and I realize we should have gotten here a few hours earlier. They must have given out a lot more tickets than seats. Anyway, even if we don't get in it is exciting to see thousands of cheerful Mo. McCain / Palin supporters. This is going to be a huge, genuine demonstration of confidence in the ticket. Also people are coming in twos and threes and families. No bussed-in rent-a-crowds from Illinois like the Gateway...

Cape is again abuzz [bug alert]
Posted by admin / Under Cape Turnagain
One of nature's enduring enigmas is making an appearance once again, bringing a sibilant drone to the towns of Cape Cod, as it has every 17 years with startling regularity. Insects known as periodical cicadas are emerging from underground haunts for a final hurrah - a nearly monthlong orgy of come-hither songs, mating, and laying eggs - before dying and leaving their progeny behind to begin anew the curious and highly unusual 17-year growth period. Residents are bracing themselves. "We're thinking about moving to Boston to live with my daughter!" joked Jeanne Duchemin, of Mashpee, who recalls the inundation of...
