"Wierton, West Virginia makes Dee-troit look like Disneyland. Only place I;ve seen where you can score crack and moonshine on the same block!" And that was before "Hillbilly Heroin".

That said, he's talking down to them with language tailored to every slight and "librul fooolishness" that polling can pick up. Big Coal has left them an awful mess, and have squadons of lawyers evading every dime of the tab. Maybe it's time to make West Virginia the technical hub of the "smart grid" and renewables industry., on Peabody's and Murray's dime!

They can hook y'all up with stats on how many miners Bob Murray has killed, crippled, or screwed out of their pensions, black lung, or workers comp.

Some big photo banners of Bob-specific ecological disasters would be good, too. Remind folks of what Big Coal thinks of West By God Virginia.

Screening of the John Sayles movie "Matewan" is another way to spread the good word. Trailer:


The Billy Ray Cyrus "Hillbillies" from History channel is excellent - could'nt find the link.

The John Prine song "Paradise" tells a very personal story.
The bluegrass version, by Jim & Jessie (The Virginia Boys) is achingly pure and beautiful

"They tortured the timber, and forsaken the land, and chalked it up to the progress of Man".
