West Virginia is getting more than $130 million from the federal government to improve broadbrand Internet access.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Sen. Jay Rockefeller announced the project Thursday.
The money will pay for high-speed Internet service to an estimated 471 schools. It's also expected to pay for better Internet access at more than 170 public libraries, jails, county courthouses and other sites.

Somebody please explain to me why I shouldn't spend the rest of my life in jail - 3 squares a day, somebody else doing the laundry, the state feeding/clothing/housing my children & OMG, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING, HIGH SPEED INTERNET!!
working for .12 an hour and buying your own aspoirin and no bed with roses in it.
sorry Rose but the inmates don't have internet services. computers yes, with limited accessibility.
hey Rose, the treasure story is beginning to make sense. the first two leggs are historically accurate on both stories. just think 8 kegs of coins. how do you say eet. wooooooooo hooooooooo hoooooooooo
I can see the dirt again.
Woo Hoo!
I'd rather have 8 kegs of old whiskey.
ho hum
Two jobs you can get with real security and lifetime benefits in Wv. Smack a crooked cop and go to jail or just scam the Welfare system. You can buy whatever you want, they will buy you a new car to drive around, pay your insurance, give you a foodstamp card to buy your food, furnish you a check each month to buy your beer with plus you can buy you a new 4 wheeler to go get your beer on, trade sugar and milk for a case of bud light or even trade a 25 pound sack of flour for a case of Milwalkees Best. Now tell me does this not beat trying to work a job, pay for everything you get and killing yourself in the process to get what they get for FREE. No wonder they get reelected over and over. The only jobs not outsourced to India is the ones at the Welfare office.
Why do you lie?
You know Jesus wouldn't approve.
And on a Sunday too.
Shame on you.
How do I get in line for all this stuff?
Jesus was a socialist.
Jesus wasn't a racist, his message was love and peace.
What has happened to us?
In Jesus time the africans hadn't arrive yet
what do you mean they hadn't arrived yet? what kind of idiot are you?
The same type of idiot you are they were still in africa not Jerusalem.
They hadn't been sold to the slave traders by their chiefs yet.
Quit taking up for them.
They're a fkng plague.
Can't ya just feel the love in the air!!
Save the earth.
Kill yourself.
Take a close look they are the real aliens.
Jesus was black.
Or Mideastern, close enough.
Probably wasn't the handsome fella you see in all the pictures.
I thought Blacks was Afro-American.
a black is someone with a black skin.
How on earth did we get from jails getting high speed internet to Jesus being black? The twists & turns here never cease to amaze me.
Not one school delay today - not even in poor ol' Kentucky! Here comes the rain ... here stays the mud.
I'll take the mud Rose.
Beats barely controlled slides down the driveway.
I believe they were referred to as Hittites back then, and Moors later on.
Been around for a long time, same as Jews.
The whites were born here, the blacks came here in a space ship.
if I remember right, the Hittites came from eastern Turkey, the moors from morocco, western africa, or Ethiopa as Africa was origionally called. wasn't it Zeus in the Iliad that was gone to Ethiopa for 12 days?
You forgot about the Nubians from Egypt
sorry about that, nobody's perfect you know.
Ha ha you got that right..
Lets get back to dethroning our fine upstanding elected officials, it makes more sense...
Just change your party affiliation so you can't vote in the primary for the dems. That will at least send a message.
Rose stated she had enough of the political crapola.
The Native Americans were born here - the rest of us are minority imports. In fact, not only are we minority imports, we're minority import mutts.
There's technically no such thing as "white," unless you're British royalty & you've been inbreeding with your first cousins for 19 generations.
Let's not turn back to our elected officials. We've beat that dead horse to a bloody pulp.
betcha no one else here has been offered a trade worth 45 mil. USD.
Thank God
Ah, Anon, a million people have been offered a trade worth $45M - http://www.419scam.org/419-bernie-madoff.htm. This is just one of a bizzillion examples. In fact, I've lost more family members to plane crashes & whatnot in Nigeria than I ever even knew I had. If you really want to get rid of your money, send it to me & I'll trade it for all the $$ in all the board games we have (Monopoly has a lot!). It'd be worth the same, but I bet Monopoly money would be more useful.
More of that nasty S-word stuff in the forecast. Hopefully, you all had a great enough day Sunday that you can draw from the memories for awhile.
I aint not got zee muney. they got zee money, I'se supposed to havew gold to trade for it. now i haint gots no gold, except copla mexican pesos. the druggies that work for the FBI stole my two gold watches, my computer my two fiddles etc. Now i'm returning the favor and telling everything I know to the authorities.

When you get your $45,000,000 here's another lucrative email offer for you:
Dear friend
I know that this mail will be a big surprise to you, please consider it and accept it with deep sense of humility.
I have a business which will be beneficial to both of us. the amount of money involved is [$ 7.7m] which i want to transfer out of the country to your bank account, all to my financial benefit and yours too. and also to take my wife abroad for treatment of liver damage.
This money is owned by a man called Jin Sun, a business commercialist in west-African regions. he has been dead since four years ago and since then, no claim has been placed on his bank account balance.
I want to transfer this money out of the country but such fund cannot be transferred without a next of kin attached to the fund.
The fund could be transferred in these way; you shall present yourself as a business associate to the deceased person[Jin Sun] as details shall be that you are the care-taker business associate to Mr. Jin Sun and his properties.
I shall make available to you materials and information with which a successful claim shall be placed on the fund.
I shall also be your guidance and instructor throughout the duration of this transaction so as to ensure a swift and sure transfer of the fund to your bank account as to your benefits, you shall be entitled to 40% of this fund for your co-operation in this transaction while 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the course of this transaction.
So if you are interested, send a reply to me immediately.
Awaiting for your urgent response.
Best regards,
Mohammed Aziz

River dwelling yellow belly sap suckers are also known to bite on worms.

Yet another snow day. This used to be met with "WOOOO HOOOOO!! SNOW DAY!!!!!" Now it's more like "Big whoop. More snow. Who cares. Blah. Ugh. Pfffft." LOL
Ha ha ha
Don't worry Rose, springs a comin.
Subject100 MILE AN HOUR GOAT
Two rednecks are out hunting, and as they are walking along they
come upon a huge hole in the ground.
They approach it and are amazed by the size of it. The first hunter
says "Wow, that's some hole; I can't even see the bottom. I wonder
how deep it is."
The second hunter says" I don't know, let's throw something down and
listen and see how long it takes to hit bottom."
The first hunter says "There's this old automobile transmission here,
give me a hand and we'll throw it in and see".
So they pick it up and carry it over, and count one, and two and
three, and throw it in the hole. They are standing there listening and
looking over the edge and they hear a rustling in the brush behind them.
As they turn around they see a goat come crashing through the brush,
run up to the hole and with no hesitation, and jumped in head first.
While they are standing there looking at each other, looking in the
hole and trying to figure out what that was all about, an old farmer walks up.
"Say there", says the farmer, "you fellers didn't happen to see my
goat around here anywhere, did you?"
The first hunter says," Funny you should ask, but we were just
standing here a minute ago and a goat came running out of the bushes
doin' about a hunert miles an hour and jumped headfirst into this here hole!"
The old farmer said "Why that's impossible, I had him chained to a transmission!"
OOPS!!
Take another snow day Ms Rose and sleep in tomorrow..
I'd love to sleep in - but Sara the School Messenger calls at 11 with a 2-hour delay & again at 6 something with the cancellation. I will never begin to understand why these calls are made at such ridiculous hours. Who didn't know yesterday at 4 that there wouldn't be school today??
Well lets see how long it takes the BOE to figure out that a spring break is not needed this year since winter break is not over yet. I never heard of having any kind of break when I was in school. Didin't seem to be an overload on the brain to go the full year and be out in May for the summer. Just goes to show how good governing does.
Nodumbo still thinks people want government health Insurance. Medicare took another big hike this year but Social Security can't pay a cost of living raise for the elderly.
The elderly are a forgotten race of people. No gratitude for what we have done for the prsent generation of presidents. Or the rest of those fakers in Washington. Spend, spend, spend but the heck with seniors they'll be gone before long and we'll lose their votes anyway.
I thought we weren't doin the polytics thang no more?
If you call that polidics you are missing the boat. That is a sorry fact of life of how the powers that be are treating the senior citizens of this god forsaken country.
Piss and moan,
piss and moan.
And what are you doin about it?
Pissin and moanin.
No not really all I can do about it go broke.
Run for office.
I can't do that either I would lose my food stamps.
LOL
I can't get a job - I'll lose my welfare, food stamps, paid utility bills, WIC, commodoties, daycare, cell phone & free lunch for my kids.
But pissin' & moanin' is still free!
God bless America.
For all the good it does it.
So Much for Fiscal Conservative Republicans.
Ronald Regan Increased the National Debt by +18.5% during his Presidency.
George H.W. Bush Increased the National Debt by +12.2% during his Presidency.
George W. Bush Increased the National Debt +11.9% during his Presidency.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Last 3 Republican Presidents have increased the National Debt by a Combined +42.6% in Spending… That equates to an Increase of + $7.46 Trillion Dollars.
Jimmy Carter Decreased the Federal Debt by -2.8%
Bill Clinton Decreased the Federal Debt by -6.8%
Barack Obama Increased the Federal Debt by 13.5% (+ $407 Billion)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Last 3 Democratic Presidents have increased the National Debt by a Combined +3.9% in Spending… That equates to an Increase of + $2.32 Trillion Dollars
Jobs at Wal Mart increased 7 fold under Clinton and manufacturing jobs in the USA decreased by 112 million after NAFTA was signed therfore increasing Global Warming, when in fact the outsourcing of jobs sucked Wv 400 miles farther south towards Mexico when the factorys pulled out.
Just remember that figures don't lie its the Liars doing the figuring thats also doing the lying.
Nafta was passed by a republican congress and house.
Um,even when they were trying to impeach Billy Boy.
Wonder if there was a little blackmailing going on then, hunh?
Same people that were trying to impeach him were cheatin dogs too.
Newt was cheatin on his wife while she was fighting cancer, Sanford Mr
"I was in Pa hiking"while he was cheatin, Craig the Bathroom perv, Vinter liked to be dressed up in diapers to have sex, Mark Foley the pedophile do I need to go on?
Oh yeah, Democrats are so immoral.
BTW those figures were from the government accounting office.
I looked it up too.
Any more lies you want to tell?
What the hell does NAFTA have to do with Global Warming?
Walmart was just starting out back then.
Of course they were increasing jobs.
What kind of an idiot are you?
see where mr. william todd smith. "hot toddy" was arrested in Lewis county this morning, incarcerated in CRJ, gone this afternoon, in case you don't remember, was associated with woman,"kelli" found dead, was it in glenville or grantsville. 2nd time he's been arrested lately, I believe. for more info check calpatty press.
Therfe is a world of shit goin on up there in that little laid back hippie hideaway.
Gilmer county is a snakepit too apparently.
Send your kid to Glenville State for a rea world education.
I'm the kind of Idiot that went to Wal Mart in 1980 down Texas way you know the place where cowboys were heard of. After all it was my first time being out of Clay County a place eveidently you have never been far from.
Wal Mart has a lot to do with Global Warming leader Al Gore. By the way look out your window or door, you can see the warming this month like it hasn't been in years. Records being broken 126 years old is sure enuff proof of Global Warming Gore. Another fact, the republicat congress was elected by a few good dumocrats or they would not be where they are. You should know that already though living in a county where repub are less then 1/6 of what dumbos are registered.
If anything you said made sense you might have a point.
I'm just not sure what it would be.
Only thing I ever heard come from Texass, is steers and queers and you don't sound like no steer.
One things for sure I don't need instruction written on the heel of my boots as to how to put them on.
Yeah, I heard about them cowboys.
All lonesome on the trail and stuff.
That's why they call em cow pokes.
Sounds like a repugnican.
And another thread hits bottom.
I swear, yu can watch the intelligence level dropping on these things.
