State Rep. fails to save face on Howie Carr Show (BONUS: See Howie's latest on the subject!)

• 'Hyannis Boy' - thank you for your comment. It is apparently well thought out, but I want to let you know I strongly disagree. You mentioned that Demeet will be SADDENED AND DISAPPOINTED with the direction I HAVE taken? Well, I am also saddened and disappointed… I am saddened and disappointed about the direction this town has taken... I am saddened and disappointed with the direction this state has taken... I am saddened and disappointed with the widely known fact that the Commonwealth does not respect and look out for fathers... I am saddened and disappointed that a vote on gay marriage was turned down by the house despite the wishes of the citizens... I am saddened and disappointed that this is not “America” any more – rather a ‘government state’ run by special interests and the very vocal minority... Do you want me to go on and on about how SADDENED AND DISAPPOINTED we all are? I've reached out to Demetrius in the past and never received a call back. I wasn't important enough I guess… and please, do you really think I'd have so many concerns if I truly belonged to the same club as Demetrius. By the way, this isn't personal, it’s about mere survival. And under the current government, many are not surviving.... Yes, I think it’s indeed a shame that we all grew up together, played together, and yet we don’t listen to one another. Thanks again Hyannis Boy, please DO forward my article to Demetrius, and give him my best regards… Yours truly, SADDENED AND DISAPPOINTED.

• Rob, Why the axe to grind with Atsalis? we all grew up, went to school and played sports together. I am surprised. I tried to call you but your phone does not work. You actually side with Howie Carr who has no respect for anyone or thing. It is sad to see that you have become no better than the other blogers in our town, more surprising because you are one of us. Did you ever think to call Demetrius, his # is in the book. Choosing to side with Carr and others is breaking a jounalistic rule of not checking with those involved directly. I listened in on friday and thought Atsalis was direct and candid. If someone mispronounced your name would you not try to correct them? that showed how biased your angle was. Tell me, why so cynical? Would you all feel better if Atsalis had a second job as an attorney, something whitecollar? You know his family has had those properties for over 40 years. You also look real sneaky taking that photo of him, must be in the fall or early spring if he is working by himself. It would be professional if you were to talk with him face to face. To take a picture like the one you have posted is a bit cowardly. I am notifying demet about this post, I am sure he will be saddened and disapointed with the direction and tone you have taken.

• Just-us, good comment....they only like reporting the court stuff to shame the not so fortunate people down here who do not have the connections to keep out of that report. Websites like this are only helping us out, CC times is a joke, owned by newscorp....enough said!

• Cape Cod Times is our local fish wrapper by default. they don't report the news... they mix it in a special bowl, pour it into a special cake mold, and bake it until it comes out smelling and looking the way they want. If a paberboy ever tried to launch a copy into my yard, I'd pick it up and throw it right back!

• I voted for him, but I didn't know he was like this. I've been hearing disturbing things about his family trying to create political dynasty. do you have any more information on this? COG and other blogs also have strong words for Mr. Atsalis. The problem is that nobody of quality has the nerve to run against him. Hopefully that will change. Thank you for your candor. Thanks for the link to the article. I've never read Howie Car, but I think I'm going to start. I'm tired of the local Cape Cod Times and there's nothing else to read here.

• WTF! Does Assholus think we're all a bunch of morons? Or does he actually believe he's entitled? What a disrespectful Mo!

• When are we going to get rid of this fool. I also check out Howie Carr's story in today's Herald and he was funnier than hell.
