'Friends of Coal' sponsoring WVU-Marshall game

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

gotta love that an industry P.R. firm is buying it's name onto two public institutions. Not only has the group defended mountaintop removal, they've also advocated LOWERING safety standards, employing Marshall doofus bobby pruett to go out and say it needs to be done 'in order to compete with china'

1. You know

this is just typical. I just finished reading the May issue of Vanity Fair. The article shows the travesty of mountaintop removal. It says this would never happen in rural Ct.,etc. We've had Byrd, Rockefeller, Rahall, Mollahan, for years and they have let this go on. A lot of people here think Byrd is wonderful, they should see what has happened to our state. We had a little flurry of action after Sago and don't hear so much now. Every West Virginian should visit a MTR. Drilling in Alaska, phooey.

6. criticism of phony dems is fine with me

all the statewide leaders, especially manchin are closet GOP and in the coal companies' back pocket.

our senators and nick rahall are a mixed bag-great on some issues, horrid on coal, but are infinitely better than the guys the GOP floats to replace them, like John Raese

mollahan's a crook and dragging the party down.

and shelley needs to go-now!

but i'll never say a good word about joe manchin, who torpedoed the last statewide candidate by a true progressive (charlotte pritt) in favor of a coal company exec GOP extremist (Underwood)

7. actually, blankenship's too extreme even for them

and pulled massey out of the wv coal association.

friend of coal is pure evil, but, belive it or not, don finds a way to outdo them in that department

11. I'll never forget Don and Jeff campaigning for Bush either!

Don is all about running it up the middle!

5. dh just told me

he read they were going to call it 'the coal bowl' :puke:

[Petrushka]

9. "Friends of Coal" also brings us the evening news on TV-7 (eom)

10. Personally, I prefer to call them what they are:

"Fiends Of Coal."

Hey, it's cheaper by a consonant!

As a double degreed graduate of Harvard-On-The-Mon, I'm sickened by this prostitution of the U for the sake of some dirty, blood-stained, dust-coated money. But I'm also not surprised, considering who Hardesty is.

12. and WVU won the "Coal Bowl"

GO EERS!!!!!!
