Congrats to Governor Patrick

for saying what he meant and meaning what he said with regards to the Cape Wind Farm.

Humble Elias is looking forward to some truly delightful political demagoguery from His Excellency's two main opponents for the Governorship, Charlie "Ziplips" Baker and State Treasurer Tim Cahill this summer.
I can see the commercials now, Charlie Baker in bermuda shorts and black patent leather loafer trudging down the beach in Falmouth droning "These beaches belong to all of us not a bunch of environmental fanatics with their socialistic crackpot notions about green energy".
Good Ghod just what is their problem with cheaper green energy built by Massachusetts workers?

That having been said, I am also looking forward to the inevitable challenge to the Cape Wind Farm on the basis of some threat to an endangered species, no doubt there are ten wingnut lawyers down on the Cape even as I write this, combing the Fish and Wildlife Service's relevant statutes for some teensy fish or bug that can queer the deal for good.
These would be the same wingnut lawyers who normally scream "Drill Baby Drill!" in their sleep much to the chagrin of their loved ones.
