Sea Cape Cod by Michael Mosier

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the cloudy, misty island of Nantucket! Great to be with you and yours on this ‘all hallows eve’, or Halloween, the 31st day of October, 2012, looking at a Cape and Islands that were spared, for the most part, from Super Storm Sandy’s deep, destructive path across a third of this nation, none so much as the great state of New Jersey, where places such as Hoboken, Atlantic City and all of the Jersey shore, not to mention New York City itself were devastated by this most epic storm that reeked havoc across the board, leaving at least 50 billion dollars in damage, thirty plus dead and having people scratching their heads about what mother nature can truly serve up.  The great President of this nation, Barack Obama, to his, and Governor Chris Christie’s credit, are at this moment surveying the damage across said state, taking in what could possibly wake people up to the very real threat of global warming, as these storms get stronger and the seas continue to rise.  If you want to help, please contact the Red Cross, for it is there where these poor people will receive the TRUE help they most desperately need.  With the election, a most pivotal election scheduled for November the sixth, only six day away it is refreshing to SEA a man who is actually acting like a president, and although it is close, in the immortal words of said Governor Christie, it is “OUR people that really matter in the end.”  So, take care today, tomorrow and beyond, and remember to VOTE on that most important day, for it is the government that will take care of it’s people in the end, not privatized special interests…  God Bless this great country, you, and yours–now and forever.   PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the gorgeously sunny, cool, calm island of Nantucket! Great to be back with you and yours on this most spectacular sunrise, a very early Monday morning, the twenty-second day of October, 2012, as I just returned from famous “Loop Beach” here in the Old Cape Town of Cotuit, ‘where the ocean meets the wood’, watching the Great Blue Heron, the Greater Black Back seagull, the Cardinal, the Peregrine Falcon, the Belted King Fisher, the Swans, and the occasional seal, as they get ready for another day of fishing the waters just off of Sampson’s Island that you can clearly SEA above… You can also notice above this lone fisherman, a friend of mine, who speaks of the lack of fish due to overfishing during the course of the past decade or so, as lobbyists in that ‘discipline’ continue to take from our most precious resource, namely planet earth, via their own dirty, greedy, commercial fishing practices.  And so it goes, today is, or rather tonight at seven p.m. eastern standard, the last of these Presidential debates–coming to a close, with this most pivotal election for this nation inching ever closer (please remember to vote, no matter what ‘they’ say regarding voter ID, on November the 6th), with so much hanging in the balance–pitting Mitt Romney against the very great President Barack Obama who regardless of what spin doctors and Machiavellians alike may say, is the only man who has 100 percent of the PEOPLE of this great land in mind, not just the .001 percent.  The debate that took place this past Tuesday was a home run for the President as he pointed out the many inconsistencies and shadowy references ‘ole Mitt would have in store if he were, God Forbid, become our 45th President.  For you SEA, Mitt has no plan to reduce the deficit by 5 trillion dollars, save cutting big bird into a Thanksgiving dinner, gutting Medicare into a voucher program that would give seniors a lousy $8000 dollars to pay for their medical bills that would barely pay for the Advil, as insurance companies, private insurance companies, reap the benefit of such a ludicrous concept, not to mention destroying Medicaid, a program that millions of seniors depend upon to pay for nursing care in their golden years.  This is just the tip of the ice berg, for they also wish to make Social Security into a private program, invested in the dark streets of Wall, gut environmental regulations designed to make these waters you SEA above you, as well as the air you and I breath polluted, becoming unlivable for our kids and our grand kids in the years to come, as the earth continues to warm due to the constant spewing of carbon dioxide into our precious atmosphere, polar ice caps at both ends, not to mention the glaciers dying a slow death, making the seas rise, storms growing stronger, droughts becoming more severe and wild fires blazing out of control…  The math these clowns have in mind are all based on the vulture capitalism best represented by Bain Capital, or shall we call it by it’s real name, BANE capital, where they go into a company, leverage it to the hilt, putting down only a few pennies on the dollar, borrow money from the ‘investors’, sinking that company into a deep debt, a deep hole that they cannot climb out of, forcing them to close down the plant, all for the purpose of shipping those jobs overseas.  Job creator? Come on Mitt old boy, you are full of $hit and you know it, and for what?  So that you can continue the tax breaks for the plutocrats of the world, now a global enterprise, making that Grand Canyon between the haves and the have nots that much wider…?  Pity that my friend, for as Jesus himself said many moons ago, “what you do to the least of me, you do unto me”. How can you call yourself a Christian, or Mormon, whatever that is, if you propose such nonsense?  This does not even begin to touch what this radical right wing agenda has in mind for women and their God Given right to their own bodies.  Who died and made you God Governor?  The Bible speaks of many things but it can be interpreted in many different ways, such as what WE are all experiencing during these exhausting debates, commentaries, punditry and poetic ‘justice’–making a mockery of said word poetic. So GOD’S SPEED tonight Mr. President, as he speaks to foreign policy, something he knows a whole boat load more about than his opponent Mitt, “oh, Planned Parenthood, we are going to do away with that”, Romney, as he lied on stage about the tragedy to one of our diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, when he stated that the President never called it an act of terrorism.  To quote the President, “…please continue Mitt, and by the way, JUST look at the transcript.”  You know the TRUTH.  Please vote, vote early and don’t take no for an answer, no matter what the intimidation tactics that they may throw out there, for it is your RIGHT as an American citizen to do so and if that RIGHT is taken away from US, then may Heaven help US, for this nation was built on the premise of ONE MAN, or WOMAN, ONE vote!  Have a wonderful week folks and I will SEA you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel, not to be confused with the bat $hit station of FOX “NEWS”, where the side effects still include blurred vision, nausea, cramps, loss of memory, and loss of one’s self respect, hoodwinking the many undecided, mostly uniformed viewers of said horse$hit corporate station, that these modern day Robber Barons have your best interest in mind, as they steal your collective wallets and ‘help’ you look for said wallet.  PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sunny, cool, breezy, beautiful island of Nantucket! Great to be back with you on this 17th day of October, a Wednesday, 2012, a day after this reporter was crossing his fingers that the very fine President WE currently have, and hopefully will continue to have, Barack Obama, gave a stellar performance in a town hall debate just this past evening, where the eyes of the many outweighed the eyes of the few…  Obama spoke from the heart and called out Mitt Romney on his obvious horse$hit.  Horse$hit, I might add, that if you had a sense of smell at all, you could smell from a 3000 miles or so away in any direction.  Speaking on behalf of real women’s rights, not binders of them, tells the tale, and as we ease on into the next debate in only a few hours from “NOW”, well, you will SEA the tide begin to turn back in the President’s favor, unless, of course, the poor folks who work at Romney’s sweat shops demand they vote for a man, by way of a threat of being fired– who will steal their collective wallets and ‘help them look for said wallet’, all while claiming that ‘Obamacare’ was his, Barack’s, idea to begin with, when WE all know it began with the ultra right wing think tank, “The Heritage Foundation” back in the early 1990’s, via Bob Dole and other Miltonean economic monsters…  I don’t mean to belittle such a ‘fine man’ as Mitt, but come on, this is a guy who hides his money overseas, thus not paying a fair tax rate henceforth, and ships those jobs overseas via his ‘business experience’ as an executive with Bain Capital is ludicrous and dare I say quite UN-American…  A business experience that was based on making the most profit out of the most if not all of the PEOPLE he claimed to care for and about.  Is this the man you want running the country?  “I put it to you Greg” (credit the late great film “Animal House”, starring the great John Belushi, circa 1978), if this is an indictment of our social fabric as you all claim to say it is, well, then, take that good look in the mirror, for we are not going to let you just sit here and bad mouth the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, at least without a big, bad fight to the end, for the civil rights work of 1964 will not go backwards and neither will WE!  Good Luck in the next few days Mr. President, and from seacapecod.net, from the humble woods of Cotuit, Massachusetts, ‘where the ocean meets the wood’, may you have GOD’S SPEED–to you, your wonderful wife and your adorable children, whom you have brought up with such dignity and GRACE, continuing to make us all proud.  Have a nice day folks and remember that wooden nickles thrown about by the likes of FOX “NEWS” are designed only for purposes of deception, not for  the enlightenment of US ALL! SEA you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel. PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sunny seasonably cool , gorgeous ,island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this12th day of October, 2012, a day to be remembered, as the stars showed their infinite LIGHT for ALL to SEA this past evening, noting the Milky Way Galaxy above, a ‘disk’  WE all share I might add– ushering in and providing another glorious day on this here little sand bar created 11,500 years ago by the Last Great Ice Age…  Well, at least Joe Biden is sleeping in and well today, as he, our very fine Vice President of the United States of America, gave a riveting performance in said VP debate in the great state of Kentucky just this past evening.  There is little doubt that Joe took old, or rather, “young gun”, Paul Ryan (R-WI), to the wood shed, leaving little doubt as to who the adults are in the room. Taking him to task on the blatant LIES that have been thrown out to the masses by the far to the right, the “not your grandfather’s GOP”, for, well, say, the past decade or so.  God Bless you JOE! So enjoy the weekend, as it is quite clear what the pundits will be talking about on the Sunday morning talk shows.  Remember to VOTE early, if you can, and remember also, that just because someone says it is not a LIE, does not mean it is not. PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the cool, cloudy island of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this tenth day of October, 2012, a rather misty day here in Cotuit, ‘where the ocean meets the wood’, and I must say I am sorry that I have not written a blog for a while, as I was taking a break from the insanity of this crazy election cycle, wondering why Big Bird from Sesame Street is getting all of the blame for this nation’s woes. However, my advice to all out there who give a damn about this country, and I quote the great Bill Murray of “Caddyshack” fame, a fine film, circa 1980, not to mention SNL, or Saturday Night Live–“I don’t know about you, but I’d keep playing, I don’t think the heavy stuff will come down for quite a while”…, as he caddies for the Bishop on a rainy day when all the other golfers have called it quits.  And so it goes with this pivotal election, where we have straight out liars, i.e. Mitt Romney, bending the TRUTH as to what he really believes and where he ‘thinks’ he will take this nation.  Yes, our very fine President Barack Obama, who will WIN, knock on wood, come November the sixth, did not bring the full force of that TRUTH to the American public in last week’s previous debate, all 50 million or so who were tuning in, many for the first time, and it is not surprising that the great closer, Mitt, via Bain Capital, Romney, has taken full advantage of all the very “fine work” that a Frank Luntz, rhymes with dunce, of ‘word doctors’, please Google, has thrown out to that American electorate.  Attempting to fool the public into believing that a man who was the God Father of “Obamacare”, really does not blow with the wind. Give me a break… Mitt Romney will do anything to become this nations’ forty-fifth President of the United States, including lying to anyone with a pulse, to wit, we have a debate tomorrow night between the great statesmen and Vice President of this great nation, Joe Biden of Delaware, going head to head with the ‘young gun’, and professional marathon runner, who also lies about his ‘time’, Paul Ryan.  This will be the rub, as Shakespeare said over 500 years ago, where that rubber meets the road and WE SEA what these plutocratic puppets have in store for a nation that needs a leader who actually CARES about the common man, woman or child in a country that need not go back to the dark ages of intolerance, unfairness and manipulation.  God Speed Joe! Please remember to vote, register early and don’t take no for an answer, for it IS your right as a U.S. citizen and if, God Forbid, that is taken away, then this country will never be the same again.  Have a wonderful day folks and stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel, not to be confused with the bat$hit corporate owned network of FOX “NEWS”, where the side effects still include, but are not limited to, blurred vision, trouble going to the bathroom, nausea and a true belief that you and your family are part of that plutocratic elite, you know, the ones who are trying to take down the middle class, poor folks and women’s rights in general, as they steal your wallet and ‘help’ you look for it!   PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M

Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the wonderfully breezy, cool, partly sunny of Nantucket! Great to be with you on this day after the first day in October, a Tuesday, the 2nd day of October, 2012, when the Supreme Court in this great land began it’s first session once again, via the late, great Walter Matthau, of that great film of the same name, circa 1981, also starring the great Jill Clayburgh...  Hopefully, we will not have a repeat of the fiasco of 2000 when the ‘hanging chads’ held up JUSTICE for what was clearly a win for Al Gore v. George W. Bush.  Tomorrow night we will SEA the first test of that as republican challenger Mitt Romney goes head to head against his formidable opponent, President Barack Obama, who will not need the snack food of ‘zingers’ to get his message across to the 99 percent of the REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE, who do most of the living and dying in this country day in and day out.  For He has their BEST interests in mind, as opposed to a man whose running mate, Paul, “I ran a marathon in under 2 hours”, Ryan, who also, I might add, did not have ‘time’ to do the math on the FACT he plans to gut Medicare and turn it into a voucher program goes on the blink, perhaps thinking about 2016 already… leaving millions upon millions of seniors OUT in the cold–(credit the great President Lyndon B. Johnson of 1965 who put that program into place, via the greatest President to date, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who began this quest in the early 1930’s at the height of the great depression, a depression that mirrors this ‘great recession’ that Barack inherited from the previous administration).  In the immortal words of Chevy Chase, from SNL fame, as well as countless great films such as “Funny Farm”, “Fletch”, and of course, “Caddyshack”… “I was told their wouldn’t be any math?…”  Food for thought as we head on into tomorrow, a day that will go down in history as WE all SEA what is a farce and what is FACT. God Bless and sleep tight.  PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS!  Peace~M
