It's summer noughty 9 all over again! The big difference being "an email" that was sent out to friends and family of the Clintons announcing the engagement and impending marriage of Chelsea and Mark, or as VT refers to them, Melsea. Where will this blessed event take place? Martha's Vineyard.

A robbery at a Chilmark home leaves one family minus jewelry, cash and personal effects. No sign of forced entry though. You know how the Island is, if anyone bothers to lock their house then the key can be found under a shingle, the one with all the scratches beneath it.

If only there were some way to capture the raw power of the collective hot air being blown about by the debate over wind power. Regardless, the conversation drags on. State officials will be on Island tomorrow to hear harrumphing. Islanders meet tonight to plan harrumphs.

The President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, vacationed on Martha's Vineyard last week and all we got is this lousy t-shirt. Most Islanders VT talked to said they didn't even notice he was here, a sentiment that was sadly echoed by business owners.

Obama's vacation is so quiet it makes VT want to lay down and take a nap. The big news from this week-long retreat on the Island is that there is no news. Instead of covering the president's lazy days, reporters are turning their notebooks on us. Will we like what they see?
