THE COUNTDOWN'S ON ....

Two days to go!! Hallalujah!!

Have you gotten the endless calls? I've gotten recordings from Darrel McGraw, John McCain, Shelly Moore Capito, Anne Barth ... even invites to meet Hillary & Bill Clinton!

I will miss the pollsters who call constantly. I've lied to every single one of them. I've lied about my age, I've lied about my income level, I've lied about who I'm voting for. Right now, there's an NBC poll that has Obama winning with 52%, McCain trailing at just 48%. I wonder how many of those polled people lied?

I remember in the late 80s, a boss telling me to save my money because social security would be gone in 10 years.

It's all always been in jeopardy. The stock market crashes, social security gets cut ...

If I hear "this is the most important election in history" one more time, I might just scream. They're all important. Changing presidents now isn't going to miraculously turn our economy around. Just like keeping George W. back in '04 didn't turn the war around.

"History making election" ... did anybody make this much to-do about the "African Americans" who run for mayor? Congress? Senate? For a country that prides itself on equality & denies any racist tendencies, we sure harp on how "historical" it is that a black man is finally running for president.

If McCain wins, it'll be because we're racist. If Obama wins, it'll be because Palin was a joke. Either candidate is going to bring "change" by the very fact that neither is Bush. Anybody who's thinking that "change" is going to be immediate and/or life altering is in for a rude awakening.

Yeah, I'm a little fed up with the whole election/campaign thing. Two years of campaigning is far, far too long.

Less than 12 hours before the polls close & it's all over but the cryin'! WOOOO HOOOOO!!

When you go out to vote today remember this, and vote McCain.


George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000
5) American's were buying new cars,taking cruises,vacations overseas, living large!...

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 we voted in a Democratic Congress and yes--we got 'CHANGE' all right. In the PAST YEAR:

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 2% of American homes are in foreclosure.

YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE...AND WE SURE GOT IT! ....
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS. AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!

JUST HOW MUCH MORE 'CHANGE' DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online
GUN SALES RISING
Gun Dealer Says Obama Causing Rise in SalesUpdated: November 3, 2008 11:39pm

Nationwide gun sales are going up. Some say they're going up because it's hunting season. Some say it's due to the bad economy. Others say, it's Barack Obama.

Gun dealer, Jeff Beane says his gun sales have gone up dramatically for one key reason.

Beane says, "This year after the Democrats had made their announcement for the President and I think according to the NRA, Mr. Obama doesn't like guns."

Beane, a registered Democrat, and owner of St. Albans Gun and Archery says his customers, and gun businesses are looking down the barrel of a loaded gun if Obama is elected.

"According to the NRA Obama is wanting to put a 500% tax on ammunition and guns. People want to get guns before this election." says Beane.

The Obama camp says this just isn't so.

Tom Vogel, head of Obama for America in West Virginia, says, "Obama's not gonna take anybody's guns."

West Virginians working for Barack Obama say their candidate completely supports the second amendment. Vogel also points to other reasons gun sales are increasing nationwide.

Vogel says, "You'll see people buying more ammunition, more guns, just because it's deer season."

But whether it's economy, hunting, or Obama, Beane says for now, he's glad to see business is thriving and hopes the second amendment stays intact.

Beane says, "I think it's never been messed with and I don't think it should be messed with now."

Beane says he's not sure if the boost can be attributed to hunting season, since the largest increase has come in handgun sales. He also says he's seeing a record number of first time female customers.

HUR HERALD
CLAY FOOTBALL PLAYER RECOVERING AFTER HARD HIT
(11/03/2008)

A Clay County High School football players is recovering after taking a hard hit Friday night during a football game.

Clay was playing Tyler Consolidated High School.

"He was making a tackle and made initial contact and a player came in, one of our own players, to assist in the tackle and he was hit in the head," according to Clay Principal Phillip Dobbins.

"The Coach said it didn't look like a vicious hit, but it just must have hit him in the right spot," said Dobbins.

Dobbins identified the student as Luke Kleman, the son of Head Coach Frank Kleman.

The youth was unconscious for a while on the field but regained consciousness before being taken to the hospital.

At this point it does not appear that Kleman is paralyzed, but doctors say he suffered a serious concussion.

"The prognosis is much better than it was Friday night," said the principal. The youth is being treated at Ruby Memorial Hospital.

Politics is over, Andy. Report on the NEWS!

No.

A racist is someone who thinks they're superior to someone else because of their race.

What we have more of an abundance of is bigots. A bigot is one who is "intolerantly devoted to his own opinions and prejudices."

Prejudice is an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, group or race; a preconceived judgement formed without just grounds or sufficient knowledge.

Patriotism is the devotion to one's country and supporting it's authority and interests.

Our new president is half black. He's also half white. He's *all* American ... as American as anybody else born in this country.

Our Constitution doesn't say anything about presidents not being Muslims or Jews or Atheists or Catholics or Wiccans. It doesn't say you have to be a certain color, a certain creed, a certain gender. It says you have to be at least 35 years old & be a natural born citizen. Period.

So.

Put away the bigotry, prejudice, racism, ignorance & plain stupidity. If you don't like his policies, let your congressman & senators know about it. They're your link to the President's ear. If you don't like his ideas, fine. This is America. We're allowed to disagree.

But if you're just going to hate him because he's black and/or you think he's a Muslim, *he* isn't the problem; *you* are.

She lost her mom earlier this year and she has overcome many health problems. I know when I first moved here to Clay, if not for her and her family's help I would not have made it.

Just think now by the time Gullispy gets ready to retire we will have to have a new high school built so he can be Cluck of Works.

ROSE said...

I don't know anything about all the dirt, but here's my Gene King story.

When my son, Adam, was ... probably 3 ... we were watching the Apple Festival parade & he was too little to see. We inched our way closer & closer to the street, Adam just a few steps ahead of me. Gene King - dressed in his officer finery - reached down & gently put his hand on Adam's chest to keep him from going any futher. Adam reached up, took Gene's hand, they smiled at each other & watched the parade together, holding hands. Neither of them knew each other & I'm not at all sure Gene knew I was standing right behind them. Adam knew the hand in his felt comforting; Gene knew there was a little boy who needed protecting.

Sometimes, it's important to weigh ones deeds against each other. Some things far outweigh others.

Anonymous said...

well now, i agree Gene has a nice side but, i believe i read a while back that Gene is the longest serving BOE member in WV. that means he has served through all the drug pushing that has gone on in the schools. havn't heard Gene saying too mnuch about it or objecting. you hire me i'll hire you policy.

Ain't it just Marvelous what democratic congress can do for this country and people blame Bush for it.
Lets see now under Jimmy Carter administration he sent Kissinger over to the desert sands to negotiate a new oil market for us. Told them Arabs to park them camels and ride our Cadillacs and they would make them rich. Well this past year at above $4.00 a gallon gas and diesel seems they got RICHER and Bush got the Blame.
Everything I bought came with an extra fuel charge because of high fuel prices. My grocerys (peanut butter and jelly) soared to enormous prices. My THANKS to the OIL companys and OPEC
Wall Street Glutons created a complete collaspe of the market so our congress bailed them out and also gave us a $600.00 per person subsidy payment which I only got $300.00 of and I guess the people at the IRS stuffed the other 3 in their pocket.
Congress passed a $700 billion bailout for banks whos glutons stuffed their pockets and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars partying on and also with a 2 1/2 million dollar bonus for higher ups. Now they want to bail out a failing Auto industry for countless billions of dollars to a greedy bunch of people who have priced theirselves out of a job. Whats next, bail out all the strip mine jobs because coal is not prosperous anymore.(yea rite) The Taxpayers in this country have about all the load they can carry but come Jan. 2009 once again our Democratic Congress will raise taxes, cut health care protection, and give each one of us a thorough screwing and all we can do is bend over once more grab both cheeks and smile like we like it. And we still vote in Byrd, Rockefellow, and Rahall each time they come up for a vote.

U.S. crude for December delivery hit a low of $57.04, down $2.29 and its lowest point since March 20, 2007, before rallying to around $57.59 by 10 a.m. EST.

Now why is gas and diesel so high yet? OPEC trying to cut production still further to get the price back up. This is $80 a barrel less then it was this summer. Stay home drive less and let them suffer.

Why are you bashing Gene King? He is a good person, It isn't his fault that the parents let the girls/boys run wild and have sex and get pregnant!!! It needs to start at home. You can not blame Gene King for the parants not teaching them to keep the pants on or letting them run wild and have sex with whomever. Sounds to me like you just don't like the man and are looking for a excuse to blame him get over it LS Whomever you are, He is a good person. Looks like more people like him than not considering he keeps getting elected!!!

he keeps getting elected because the BOE has 300 employees who are afraid to vote wrong. and the previous chairman of the democratic party was being hired by him as ass't super. of schools for many years.

Didn't over 3,000 people in Clay vote in the last election? Even if all 300 of those people have spouses who are also "afraid to vote wrong," that's only 600 votes. Not quite enough to make a majority.

did you count the freemasons and their families? and unless you were a democrat for many years you were an untouchable and were discrimated against.

Sounds like a bad wreck over at Bentree. What happened?

Just think now with a democrat back in as prez we can bail out OPEC to, after all the last quarterof 2008 they probably won't have more then 40 or 50 billion dollars profit.

Dyke Nancy Pelosi wants to rush a bill through now to bail out the auto industry but no help for the steel mills with them shutting down everywhere or anything to help the people losing their jobs.

5 ambulances, 1 en route CAMC 2 on board, HealthNet can't fly, road completely shut down. Trooper vs. deer at Maysel en route to scene, airbags deployed, vehicle toast, trooper ok but out of commission.

911 call from Valley View. No ambulances available in Clay, Kanawha or Roane counties.

Clay & Lizemore ambulances both doubled up with patients en route to hospital.

M.E. en route from Burnsville.

At least 3 cars being towed plus the truck (coal? 18 wheeler?).

Have to assume JanCare 2-3 units also transporting.

This one's really bad.

In route to Wilsons Funeral home and supposed to be at least two fatal. Bad Bad Bad

ROSE said...

Sounds horrific. Didn't Clay used to have it's own M.E.? Why do we have to wait for one from Braxton County?

It's pouring down rain ... 20 degrees colder & it'd be snow. Which is what's in the forcast for next week ...

Anyone know who it was that got killed?

Anonymous said...

Clays medical examiner was Mary Hanshaw. Mary had medical problems of her own and then the underground hatchet men got to work and started publishing that Mary had mental problems. very effective whispering campaigns usually set in motion by the fremason mob in order to accomplish some of their nefarious purposes. like blasting someone who is causing them trouble with their drug trade or their drag on money transfers as in the Ivydale school deal. 50,000 dollars where did it go. common sense says it went to the BOE.

ANYWAY FAR AS I KNOW mARY hANSHAW IS OUT OF ACTION NOW.

One of the deputies is also qualified M.E. But I heard that he was leaving for Iraq or something.

Anonymous said...

Nice work Sherlock, but the question was who got killed?

Anonymous said...

if you will reread Roses comment she asked if Clay co. didn't have its own M.E. , that is the question thaty I answered, i'm sorry that your mind is not broad enough to encompass more than one thought.

had three light brown, mottled moths on my door this morn. never occured to me that moths were still active in weather this cold.

Hearsay has it that one lady down sycamore ck was killed and one up upper sycamore. I don't know that a name would be adviseable to put on here yet due to family circumstances. So thats as close as I would come to saying who it is until others notify you on the site or in the newspapers.

The road was still blocked and supposingly one vehicle was still under the crane part that fell off the 18 wheeler at 11 P.M...... BJ construction at Elkview was the trucking company. Also a lot of people werer in critical conditions and taken to the hospitals at CAMC. Still no names to release due to liability.

Anonymous said...

Channel 3 News is reporting that only one was killed and the road reopened at 2 a.m.

Anonymous said...

supposingly

???

WTF kind of word is that?

Anonymous said...

I have found out who was killed. It was the woman from Sycamore. And until it is publicly announced, I won't say any names either.

At least 2 of the injured are from Maysel. The others I don't know any information on.

What a tragedy!!

EYEWITNESS NEWS UPDATE
Truck Crushes Several Vehicles Killing One Person

Reported by: Rachel Tarr
Videographer: Chad Hypes
Web Producer: Rachel Tarr
Updated: November 13, 2008 10:36am

Police say Constance Tanner died in the accident. Six other people were injured.

A truck hauling a heavy crane came apart slamming into four vehicles.

It happened Wednesday evening on Route 16 in Bellva.

Police say the driver of the rig was speeding. The counterweight holding onto the boom snapped swinging the arm around crushing the cars.

Police say they will issue several citations

Anonymous said...

By the way this happened at the Clay&Nicholas county line at Bentree and not at Belva. Connie Tanner was the one killed. As it happened about the time of work traffic a lot of communitys in Clay co were involved also.

Look the word up in websters dictionary and see what kind of word it is.

uhhh... look WHAT word up?

Sorry, I guess I didn't follow that one.

Looked it up, it ain't there. Must be one a them made up redneck words.

Must have a dictionary older then dirt by two days. Oh well if you don't know what it means then it is of no use to you and I am proud to be a redneck. A self edumacated one at that. Probably smarter then the average bear also.

If a mental disability keeps you from working, call Shaffer & Shaffer, Attorneys at Law. They may be able to help.

I have to agree with the person who is questioning the strange made-up word. If something isn't a word, then it has no meaning. "Supposingly" is NOT A WORD. I don't know why someone would be proud of bad grammar.

Anonymous said...

Problingly one of those Freemason ritual words.

ROSE said...

LOL I hate it when I miss out on the grammar wars.

Supposingly is one of those classic words (like misfortunate) that sound like big, intelligent words, but only when you're conversing with people who don't know any better.

Here's a sad observation - last night's wreck left how many people fighting for their lives? How many lost (or may lose) theirs? How many people were injured? All 3 local news stations have reports on the wreck, but they're very sketchy. The majority of the news is about who got shot, who got stabbed & whose house got broken into.

Anonymous said...

Well, SUPPOSINGLY, it's touch & go with the 2 critical patients. Remember them & their families in your prayers.

Also, while you're praying, remember the EMTs, paramedics, first responders, witnesses, etc. There are also several other victims that could use your prayers.

hey sherlock i have no beef with you but i disagree about mary hanshaw. she has medical problems but she is mental to. she has changed since her brain disease or disorder. not to mention her son and all she did to keep him out of crj. i was there a few times when she was yelling and making threats at people in the apartments. if my mind is right she even went after a few to. her coworkers really dont like her and she thought her position made her untouchable. i know if she showed up to take me to the hospital i would refuse to go with her. who wants the person who has your life in her hands and she might just zone out. mary used to be a nice person but she has changed. so i for one am happy she is off duty. if the fremasons did it then thanks.

Anonymous said...

don't know where you get your information but Mary was on the job yesterday but she is no longer a licensed coroner. you and other people are jealous of Mary as they were of VICKI AT THE LIBRARY. before CAEZ came along to help Mary fought to keep the ambulance service going when people like you were off kissing a**. I was there when the ambulance fee fight was going on. when the CCC said they didn't have any money, when the revenue sharing program was shut down.

ROSE said...

LOL I don't mean to be morbid, but if Mary showed up at your house in the capacity her name was being discussed, (medical examiner), you wouldn't really be in a position to "refuse to go with her."

Hillary Clinton's on the short list of Obama's potentials for secretary of state. Didn't we predict this already??

Get out & enjoy today - temperature plunge is on the way!! (how poetic I am this morning!)

AW went with the bashers of Vicki at the library. AW knows which side his bread is buttered on anymore. how many relatives has he got working for the BOE now. hard to tell who is in cahoots around here, anymore. you take them lying freemasons they will tell anything on any one if they can take their good job or stick some money in their bank account. CAEZ is what's keeping CLAY CO. TICKING RIGHT NOW even though no in county jobs have been produced. the rich are getting richer. Oh well, i feel better now, let'er snow.

ROSE said...

Let's start a new thread, shall we?

Anonymous said...

last thing i would ever be is jealous of vickie at the library. she has many menatl problems and her old man is gross. mary should be off the job with her troubles to. i am a happy person who works and has friends. dont know any freemasons and dont really want to either. if vickie did her job and didnt allow her old man to sell drugs at the library and she didnt keep her pot pipe in a basket under her desk and she tried to be nice to others she might still be there. the girl who worked with her and i believe even ended up living with her told everyone she could just how messed up vickie was. maybe that is why vickie is no longer at the library. having an ex who is well known as a dealer and a son who is a dealer and meth head didnt help her either. vickie was so lazy she wouldnt even throw away her food containers for days and the smell in the office was disgusting. took shelia three days to clean the office and she found many things that proved vickie has some habits and addictions to. so before you say it was the freemasons maybe you should think vickie should have been fired years ago and then the library might not be in the trouble it is in now. lol to rose i agree about the comment about mary i was saying i would not trust her with any life since she is no longer right in the head.

I think there is several individuals in Clay that aren't right in the head, The list could go on for days. Drugs are everywhere.....Cops need to go to go-mart and set back and watch for awhile and they will see. Of course they can't go in uniform. I have seen it why can't they!!!
