Poll: Who's dumber?
Are girls dumber than than boys? Or is it the other way around?
Like most guys, I'm quite smart thank you
Hey, just because I'm a girl, it doesn't make me dumb
Men like me have bigger brains. It's science!
I am a girl, and clearly smarter than my guy friends


"It takes a village," and a Kung Fu Grip... (A H.N. VIDEO ORIGINAL)


  • I guess I missed something! But was'nt Ms. Joakim voted into her position by the same people that will not and cannot be heard in a public forum. Also Who holds the town leaders accountable when they are out of order. With great power comes great responsibility! Or so I thought!!

  • This is so typical....freedom of speech is just a thing of the past! I am surprised sites like this that tell the truth about our community are alowed to stay up and running.....was this as bad as a local guy trying to bully a soup kitchen with his political clout?

  • Janet Joakim was out of order on March 6th, and is out of her mind, permanently. Mary Clements was addressing the issue of a blog run by Joakim which contains reckless, libelous and intensely hateful comments regarding critics of Joakim, her blog, and her performance on the council. I consider the other twelve councilors co-conspirators on attacks on Barnstable citizens both on the hateful Joakim blog, as well as the outrageous violation of Mary's 1st Amendment rights at the March 6th council meeting, since not one councilor had the intestinal fortitude to object to the action against Mary, and not one has publicly responded to the many complaints about Joakim's sadistic abuse of power by way of her blog, and from the council bench. Joakim has used her position as a town councilor to advertise her hateful blog in the Barnstable Patriot, and also during a town council meeting. She claims that Mary's comments had nothing to do with the council, but uses her position as a councilor to advertise her blog in the middle of a council meeting! Further, the street Clements mentioned in her speech is posted numerous times on Joakim's blog, for purposes of harassment. All America City? No Place For Hate? Hardly!

  • glad you're feeling better bobby. I've missed your candor.

  • Bob, when are you going to learn to stop being so insubordinate? We must help our ruler and Queen Ms. Joakim, not work against us. Our duty is to learn to behave like loyal subjects. How dare you disagree with a member of the royal family?

  • You've got to be kidding me. What I gathered from that short video is basically the public has a right to voice their opinion until a member of the council doesn't like what they have to say. Sound about right? So much for Freedom of Speech. It'd disgusting.

  • She was not out of order and I do not see the harm in her concern about mean behavior from town officials. It's a horrible they refused to let her speak. It seems she put a lot of effort into her little speech. If she was "out of order," which she wasn't, why didn't they clarify as to why? This is not the first time this particular council has to restrict public comment in general. It's not right. Thank you for being brave and telling this story. but i agree with Mr. X. the old guard in this "provincial" (lov it) town are very vengeful. But I don't care. Donna H.

  • Wow.
    (Posted by Donna, 10 April, 2008 23:27:10)
  • Well said Robert. I hope you are not planning on trying to get a town job in the near future. But very well said. Please excuse me for not using my real name, sorry.
