Half of the people in West Virginia are now deathly ill...

[Hubert Flottz]

Byrd Flu, is kicking our @$$es big-time, since last Thursday afternoon! The symptoms are uncontrollable anger, outrage, fury, fits, cases of the red @$$, chapped buns and a general sense of being sold out cheap...send help ASAP. That is all!

[Straight Shooter]

1. That would make an excellent letter to the editor.

"Byrd flu epidemic in West Virginia. george w. bush tells Senator Byrd he's doing a heckuva job."

[Hubert Flottz]

5. 'Cronies of Coal', instead of...

AT Massey's silly ads..."I'M A FRIEND OF COAL!"

[WI_DEM]

2. I don't think so

Byrd, like most people of WVA are culturally conservative. If half the state is upset with him about anything it's his lack of support for the Iraqi war.

[Hubert Flottz]

3. I think you'd be wrong.

I live here and that is not the story I hear.

[MODemocrat]

4. I think that decrepit old man is running for his 9th term

I guess he figured that's the way to get the red state votes. He used to belong to the KKK, so, I wonder, has he changed that much?

[Hubert Flottz]

6. I wonder if he remembers if he's from West Virginia, or

where he shat last!

[MODemocrat]

26. I doubt if he ever knows where he is

I remember when he used to be a pretty good senator; but he sure that blew that yesterday for sure.

7. Two Dead

In Mine fires just today.

[Hubert Flottz]

8. Byrd is a "Friend Of Coal!"

And so are all the biggest scabs and rats in the state!

[Hubert Flottz]

9. Don Blankenship sezz..."I'm a Fiend Of Coal!" look at this thing.

The Massey Coal Company wants to kill thousands, not just a few!

I live down stream from this monster and I'm not a god damned "friend" of these idiots and carpetbaging robber barons. I never was!

[benburch]

10. You ought to listen to Head On with Bob Kincaid.

http://www.headonradio.com

Liberal talk from the heart of Coal Country

[Hubert Flottz]

12. I do listen....his broadcasts are great every night!

Great information, great callers and fine music. I'm proud of Bob Kincaid, he's a fine representative of democratic party in the state and of the West Virginia Building Trades Unions, who sponsor his program. I'm proud of you too Ben and I'd like to thank you also, for your fine work.

EDIT...BTW...I gotta' go listen to Bob Kincaid, he's on right NOW!

[Just Me]

11. Yep. Blankenship is fat-ass bastard. However, we could certainly,...

,...do a helluva lot worse than Byrd. Once he gets through this election, he'll get back to raising hell, again. He pissed off a LOT of backwards pro-war hicks, ya' know!

[Hubert Flottz]

13. He's pissed off some anti-war hicks too, now...

Myself included!

[Just Me]

19. Name the alternatives, though,....from one hick to another.

Seriously.

Moreover, are you completely forgetting all his seriously confrontational speeches against this pResidency? I mean, DAMN,...the man constantly chaffed the administration's ass. But, he has to win back his bid to get back in the arena.

I don't know. I'm just not one who can not be ruled by rage 24/7.

[Hubert Flottz]

22. I'm not ruled by rage, I'm ruled by idiots!

24/7 and you are too.

I don't hate Robert Byrd, but I'm starting to think he hates me! I do think the democratic wing of the democratic party needs to remind him that we are not ALL conservatives. I'm thinking that Robert Byrd was threatened in some way, by SOMEONE and that he was afraid not to vote for Alito. I don't put anything past the Bushtapo.

[TomInTib]

14. Man, that is a powerful set of pics. I would hate to live there. But

I am looking out my window on San Francisco Bay, probably the biggest pool of mining runoff in the world.
Because of runoff the Bay average depth is about 11 feet.

[sandnsea]

15. Tell us what to do

Geeminetly, how can we help you help West Virginia. That's what I was trying to get at the other day. We help you tell the truth to your fellow West Virginians. What can we do. Who do we send money to. Where do we write. Where do we blog.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Tune in to this guy's broadcast TONIGHT...

Call in or email Bob Kincaid, and ask him, he can tell you what to do and thanks!

http://www.headonradio.com

His broadcast from Beckley WV, is on weekdays from 7:00 PM. EST until 10:00 PM EST.

Tell him Hubert sent ya!

[sandnsea]

18. I will do that

Definitely email and try to get some communication going and then PM you with the results.

[Hubert Flottz]

20. Hit the little "on the air"thingy when you go to the link and pick ...

your player that you use.

[Deja Q]

17. Accept the fact you can't do anything and you'll feel better.

Just like how I've accepted I am a sexless toad who'll never get any because of his "unique" personality. Not that I'm any happier, but I've been told I will be! :D :D :D

[Hubert Flottz]

21. I wasn't put here to be happy, I don't think,Toad!

If I was I'd have been a son of a bush, instead of Hubert! But I still grin like I'm happy, to fool the fools!

[opihimoimoi]

23. Byrd Flu in WV...? Who woulda thounk..? OMG, what to do what to do?

Your mining law flaws are set up to favor the owners who are not muckers but rather expidient exploitors...anbd self centered to boot.

They care not for their peeps who delve into the depths for black coal...they care for the profit line...

The Owners are most likely infected with ASSHOLEISM....same as the Pub Party...

Too many and too much ASSHOLES in our society at high levels...dis is why we got peeps gone over the edge...going postal an all.

The big question...is Byrd an ASSHOLE??

[Hubert Flottz]

24. "The big question...is Byrd an ASSHOLE??"

I'm pondering that one! He may be a victim too! The Bushtapo may have spooked Mr. Byrd.

The Fiends Of Coal are out to run everybody out of the state and turn it into a "hugh" slag heap, for the GloWRY of Gawd and some quick mega-bucks.

Carpetbaggers-R-US wants people to work for wages and working conditions like they have in Communist Red China, so the AT Massey CEO, can earn a paltry 16 million and change a year, plus $4534298067546756432908765432019689.95 in stock options. Sorry bout that, but the coal company don't have the money to do the safety stuff, cause the CEO needs the bucks to make Fiends of Coal TV ads, to trick the hillbillies and clod hoppers far and wide with!

Assholistic powers have been at work here in WV, 24/7, since 1863. They have this state and it's politician's in the pretzel hold/step over toe hold/rear strangle takedown. They want to turn back the clock to the "Golden Age" when they owned everything in a coal miners life and they killed coal miners here by the hundreds and didn't even get fined for it. The coal Baron's wet dream has ALWAYS, been to destroy the unions and anyone connected with them. Assholism is the Robber Barons way of life.

25. Big money knows no bounds...IF.....they can control Goobermint

they will control us...sooner or laterz....

They are Proud to be ARROGANT only cause they can get away with it....scott free......They will play the DELUSION CARD>

Claim delusion, display a contusion, and lie their way out...all in the history books, repeated every few years or so.

27. FOR SALE ----Used---West Virginia

Used West Virginia FOR SALE..., Like New Mountain Mamma, Almost Heaven, Semi-Majestic, One Owner, Just replaced interior out of '1984' model 300,000,000,000 tons ago, Some surface Rust, Lots and lots of extra parts, High mileage, Must see this cream-puff, $8.39 firm, Or, will consider trade on a used Magic Wand, or a clean, later model, Golden Goose, in equal, or hopefully better condition, Only driven 7 days a week by a single, elderly, selfish, asshole...Call Baldwin & Felts Realtors Tazewell, Virginia, BR-549, Ext.666, after 5:00 am, please...ask for Bordzeebie Joe Veebelfetzer, a "Fiend Of Coal." * SERIES CALLS ONLY, PLEEZE!

You can buy West Virginia for a small bag of plug nickels, the day the last ton of coal is gone. "We Dig Coal" but coal don't dig us, you dig? What's not to like about a grossly overloaded coal truck, barreling down a narrow, winding, two lane, highway in the morning gloom and the glare of the oncoming headlights, coming out of a sharp hair pin curve and 100 feet in front of your foggy windshield, sits a school bus red flashers on and on-loading 6 more kids, onto an already overcrowded bus. Your load weighs double, what the truck, or the highway that it's been barreling down, are legally rated for. Your truck completely empty, weighs more than a half dozen cars and takes 250 feet to stop at 60 mph.

Terra-ism comes in many forms and the big coal companies employ, or have employed, many of these forms of terra, over the past 130 years, in order to "Get 'Er Done."

That is a fraction of how it is here amongst our, "Fiends Of Coal," I shitteth you not a pound! * With "Fiendly" assholes like these...who needs enemas? You give them "Fiendly" assholes a break and they'll give you back a compound fracture...

Come, we get the hell outta' the way of these, "Fiends Of Coal!"

[opihimoimoi]

28. West Virginny for sale....CHEAP..due to abuse and neglect

The State has been reduced to piles of slag and 47 trees.

Where are the Friends of Earth??
