well the year got started. frigid but we live, sometimes poorly but there's always hope. just the niggers are always griping and fighting, the whites are in recession, the muslims got a holy war they're trying to get the whites to give them more money. TOM T. HALL said it best, MORE MONEY.

as for me, i've found a lost tresure story, four barrels of coin, hidden in the 1700s, now iff'n i can locate this lost treasure i'll be rich and some jealous person can kill me and bury me under a concrete slab.

just think the gov. promises you thirty million, "but" if you win, you find they've lied you only get half of what is promised then the people who are supposed to protect you are inadequate because they want higher kick backs. 50,000 went into the coffers of the FREEMASON lodge in the ivydale school trade, how much in the VALLEY FORK trade, I DON'T KNOW.

hi yo POWHATAN PLUNKET AWAYYYYYYYYY.

Ms Rose it will be six weeks until spring and lets hope the cold nasty white snow will leave by then and summer begin early this year with very few rainy days and lots of sunshine to enjoy those fine bikini's.

Have you heard that PETA wants to eliminate Punxsy Phil from Groundhog Day & use a robotic groundhog instead? They say it's ... I dunno, cruel & unusual or whatever it is they say.

Meanwhile, Phil's home is air-conditioned in the summer, heated during the winter & all his meals are free, balanced & regular.

PETA's sometimes like some people I know - a lot of potential counter-balanced by a lot of ignorance = downright stupid.

I don't know about 'getting his fingers caught in the pot,' but Spike Maynard's the judge who went on vacation with coal mogul, Don Blankenship. Looks to me like, if you're for coal in WV, he might be your man.

Yup.

Ms Rose it is cruel and unusual punishment to be draged out of your be with bright lights in your eyes and a bunch of ignorant people flashing cameras in your face. If you watch the news they do that every year and its just plain STUPID to want people to believe a ground hog has anything to do with the weather. The calendar says its 6 weeks until spring irregardless.


Spike Maynard was on vacation along with a lot of other individuals with Don Blankenship. Most of the supreme court Justices were there but he was singled out. I think we all know how the Dem Liberal News broadcast works by now. We can also say the more moeny spent on a government job the nearer you will come to get it after all we sold the White House for 68 million the last time around for president. If we can sell the oval office and have it bought and paid for, swindled and also sell the USA for 3.8 trillion over the first year of office, anything can and will happen to get a job for the American, soon to be Muslim people. 2023 is not very far away in the future and thats when the white race will come to an end according to liberal statistics.

Have a goodern day and get down to Haiti and get you a spook while they are going cheap.

Don't forget the people who *should* be rich, who invested their hard earned dollars they worked 40+ years for, only to lose every penny when the banks failed. It was the *banks* the government bailed out, not the hard-worker.

& don't forget the ones who should at least be *comfortable* who depended on their 401Ks to be there when they retired, only to discover they had nada, zilch, nuthin' when they needed it.

& don't forget the ones who work every day to get ahead, but the further "ahead" they get, the more Uncle Sam dips into their pockets, so in reality, all those OT hours result in nothing but higher taxes & an achin' back.

& don't forget the stuffed shirts who make all the money while the little man does all the work.

Shrub had nothing to do with it except he got the blame for it.

I have learned from past history that the rethugins as you are so fond of calling them they have broad shoulders and handle loads of crap well. You should stop reading AW's Liberal Jargon and learn to think for yourself once in your life.

For all you hard working, working class of America you should really be proud of our Democratic Congress and new Half Wit for Prez as today after doling out billions of dollars to banks, AIG is once again giving out ONE HUNDRED MILLION of YOUR TAX MONEY in bonuses.

After all they (elderly) haven't done anything to support this country anyway.

They used to say the toll road would no longer have a toll on it after it was paid for. Guess they are right since its the largest state scam it will always have a toll.

Maybe if they get the toll raised again with all the gas tax money included we can support another generation of Mansions with enough money to live happily ever after. A.J. Mansion only got out with 70 million, maybe ole smokin Joe wants billions to steal from the state.

The mentally impaired used to be called idiots, lunatics, morons, etc. & those words have become unacceptable in their original context but perfectly acceptable in others. I thought retarded had made that same transition.

If Sarah Palin is going to call for the resignation of everybody who uses a word she considers "taboo" because she finds it offensive, she's going to be exhausted in no time flat. I'm not even sure her vocabulary extends that far.

Before Weston and Spencer closed we never had any Idiots, Morons, Mental Retards or Downs Syndrome walking amongst the populous. But since then we have had them walk among us. Some I have ran into have more sense then the elected officials people are voting for. We have alot of people in office with downs syndrone as they get in office and down they set for the rest of their life. Then we call them Idiots and Morons as its an excuse we give ourselves for voting them in in the first place.

Can you believe the Idiots in Legislature let AEP stand before them and claim this is the first storm they have had to deal with. You know whats funny is our represenatives believed them. All the trees that fell on power and phone lines were outside their right of ways also. The ones that fell along rt. 16 must have been on Dept. of Highways or telephone companys right of ways. So much for loss of memory.

Seems not to long ago I read where elected officials favorite sentence to use in front of a judge is "I don't recall". So when they run for office again I will recall all the I don't recalls when voting.

The higher you get up the ladder the more kickbacks you get for voting for special interests groups. Take for instance if I go on TV claiming that FOLA coal pays more taxes then the homeowners in Clayberry and thats the basis of our tax funds then I get a wad that would choke a mule. Why would anyone do this? MONEY MONEY MONEY.

Anyone who has done any research on taxes, how they are paid and who pays them knows that coal companies pay taxes before being mined on the dirtiest seam of coal with no value to it at all and when its being mined they pay a coal severance tax only, have an option of paying on their equipment and can get by with saying that equipment is in another county and not pay taxes on it at all. Try doing that on your automobile this year and see how far you get. Think I am stretching things? Stop by the assessors office and ask a few questions they don't care to tell you.

Thats exactly why anyone voting against the public on issues should be removed from office because they are IDIOTS.

The Department of Defense, War and Veteran’s Affairs take up 57%, Heath and Human Services 6%, Transportation 6%, State and other international programs 4%, Housing and Urban Development 4%, Education 4%, other agencies 4%, Homeland Security 3%, Energy 2%, Agriculture 2%, Justice 2%, Environmental Protection Agency 1%, NASA 1%, Commerce 1%, Labor 1%, Treasury 1%, Interior 1%. This doubtless boring list is based on President Obama’s budget to Congress. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Overview/

Wanna bitch about waste.
