West Virginia

West Virginia has been in the news a bit the last few days.
I've always found West Virginia ironic, hypocritical and well, stupid.
West Virginia was a handful of counties that broke away from Virginia during the American Civil War and was admitted to the Union as a separate state on June 20, 1863. So the war that was primarily fought over the rights of states to secede from the country allowed counties to secede from the state. Yes, this may come as a shock to people only schooled in public schools, slavery was not the primary issue of the civil war.

Have you ever been to West Virginia ?
I have. Three business trips.
Wheeling, West Virginia.
What a shit hole.
Even Tulsa looks good next to that pile.
They couldn't even keep a McDonald's in business. Literally. It closed two months before my first trip.
When people asked me what hotel I was staying in, they said "Wow ! That's a nice place !"
It literally had duct tape holding the seams of the carpet together.
The decor had not been updated since the sixties if not before. That includes the furniture.
I have never seen such a waste of space and humanity as what I saw of West Virginia.

That's about all I have to say about that.

I didn't bother to tell the person that sent this that all caps is considered shouting and rude.

Here's the video that was attached. (Windows Media Viewer 4MB).

What I thought interesting was that neither the e-mail nor the video mention that this bill (S.1348) was known as the McCain-Kennedy bill. Shows how far off McCain is from most Republicans and pretty much all Conservatives on Illegal Immigration. It also shows how ignorant the electorate are about important issues and where the canidates stand.

By the way, all three candidates voted for this "piece of shit", as John Boehner so eloquently put it. So all three of these asshats don't give a damn about the Mexican Invasion. So what are you going to do come November ?

I Heard That Obama Is A Muslim

W Virginia keeps distance from Obama

Like most people in Mingo County, West Virginia, Leonard Simpson is a lifelong Democrat. But given a choice between Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and John Sidney McCain III in November, the 67-year-old retired coalminer would vote Republican.

“I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist,” said Mr Simpson, drawing on a cigarette outside the fire station in Williamson, a coalmining town of 3,400 people surrounded by lush wooded hillsides.

At first I laughed at this guy, but then I thought about it. After all, Barack sat in that "church" for twenty years without hearing anything, maybe he thought it was a mosque the whole time.

Water Bill

Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. all to no avail.

One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water running downstairs. He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled onto the cause of such high water bills.

Apparently this was happening all day long when they were not at home.

Knowing that few would believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity.

Now watch the video.

War Protesters Frustrated By Apathy

Three protesters, a half-dozen signs and a missing petition.

Last month, nine protesters gathered in front of the Regional Enterprise Tower, Downtown, where U.S. Sens. Arlen Specter and Bob Casey have offices.

"Please think about this. It's important," Lynne Flavin, 60, of Lawrenceville, told passersby. She held a blood red sign that said, "Support the Troops. End the War."

Few people gave more than a glance.

I'd comment on their being frustrated by apathy, (as well as their idiocy), but I really don't care.


OK. I'll comment. Stupid hippies. Not that I care about stupid hippies.

Republicans Reject McCain

So Drudge reported:

"26% OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS AGAINST MCCAIN IN NORTH CAROLINA..."

and:

22% GO AGAINST MCCAIN IN INDIANA.

Being a former Hoosier, add my vote to the list (I voted against him last fall).
There is no way in hell I will ever vote for McCain.
He's spit on us conservatives his entire career.

It should come as no surprise that Republicans reject McCain, he's made his living out of rejecting us.

So, You're For Hillary Rodham Clinton

If after viewing this, you go ahead and vote her into office, you have to look at yourself in the mirror. If that thought doesn't deter you, know the rest of us will know and you will never be able to say to our faces what you did.



Plus she screwed over Stan Lee !
We're talking Stan Lee here !
