WSAZ does not have to waste their time reporting it, when they have you... You keep us well informed of what is going on down there. Keep up the good work. Here is an idea. When you hear it happening report it to WSAZ. If they think it is a good story, they may check it out. In Huntington and Charleston 911 "works" with the media. Does Ashland's 911 report everything to the media???

I would like to complain about the lack of media coverage of Eastern Kentucky. I mean, how can the husband of the Mayor of Catlettsburg get beaten and mugged by a woman that steals his wallet and gives it to her accomplice who speeds away? She gets arrested by the police. This occurred Friday May 22 just before noon in downtown Catlettsburg. Why doesn't anyone cover Eastern Kentucky? We should put in TV Jammers and start our own NBC Affiliate because if you are not in Huntington or Charleston, you don't exist to WSAZ...well, unless you pose in Playboy. Go get them hot stories Randy!

Hello working coal mining families of WV this is Big Earl with a suggestion to our own good Gov. Joe. First off, next time these hippies chains themselves to a bulldozer at the Patriotic or any other coal company, cant you please send the State Police (with vapor masks provided of course) to unchain them from the bulldozer and chain them up to a coal shovel and haul them down to mingo county Gilbert or the historic town of Matewan and get some use out of them? Remember people these bulldozers they are bothering are the very ones that are going to dig your grandmother a road where her bridge got washed out so she can go to the doctor. I do not see this zero bunch or the OVAC doing much of anything for anybody in WV except trying to run off there jobs. And another thing, they are running around with a bunch of shoes well hey tree huggers I know some people right about now who could sure use them boots. They say they are going to take these boots to a mine to protest but people of WV if you see one of these hippies give them an empty paper plate that will symbolize a family what has got no lunch for there kids because these do gooder greenies came to town to save mother earth from the evil coal miner and ran off daddys job so little jr. is needing lunch right about now.

Hey WSAZ, Ashland Daily Independent is reporting 142 CSX layoffs in Russell. Is this true?

I have a great idea how the city can make some money. Actually start giving tickets for traffic violations. We would all be safer and just think of the revenue. One police car could sit on 9th Avenue between 1st Street and 5th Street West and write tickets all day long. The posted speed limit in this residential area is 25 but people drive like it is the interstate and of course in 7 years I have never seen anyone pulled over for speeding.

Hey, You all should take some investigative news crews to Ironton City Schools. The students and staff have gotten way out of hand.Don't get me wrong there a some (very few) fine educators, but they need to get a strong hold on the kids. People are gonna be taking their kids out of the district. It's absolutely crazy all of the stuff going on. A kid hits a kid. Kid goes and tells. Teachers punish kids for telling. Kids are fighting everyday. Parents complaining and no one doing anything about the craziness. Parents really need to start complaining to the right people (State Bd of Ed). And it seems that if your kid is in the "in" crowd then nothing happens to them when they do wrong. It is sad to see these things going on. I just hope they can get a handle on things b4 they get into their new schools next year. Oh why you are at it, you might want to look into the Ironton Little League to. Some "fishy" things going on there too.

Have any of you people ever watched that show on TV where these hippies drive around in a boat bothering the fishermen who are engaged in the honorable pursuit of catching whales? Hello WV people whose jobs are also threatened by these same tree hugger hippie types this is Big Earl. Now people these greenie PETA types are not sailing around in a canoe singing row row row your boat. Some rich hippie has give these people that don’t have real jobs the money to sail around all day and night bothering people who do, and a camera to boot so they can film people trying to catch whales. Now whales have several purposes, one of which is that whale blubber can be wrung out for oil that can burn lamps and provide reading light for people in other less advanced parts of the world that don’t have coal mines and electric plants like John Amos. I say any captain Ahab is doing his country and people a service by trying to catch old Moby and reel him in. These hippies are nothing more than lawbreaking pirates and it don’t matter if you are trying to catch a whale or a chub down in the coal river they would try and harass you. Besides anybody that has watched a good pirate movie knows that whales try to wreck boats so they are fair game anyway.

Re. your "Reporting" on the story involving the ambulance service billing dispute with the Ohio auditor, I knew as soon as I viewed the footage of her you did not shoot it yourself. In addition to announcing that it was not your footage, you should have told viewers it was part of a "Video News Release" and explained to them what a "VNR" is. How they are used. And how they are sent to multiple media outlets. Which leads to a bigger question, should a "VNR" be used at all for a hard news story? Also, perhaps, should you have called her office and asked your own questions such as "Is your office appointed or elected?", and if it is an elected position, "When are you up for re-election?". As someone who has worked on VNR's, I know the are packaged to show a pre-determined view of a story or event such as a county fair or minor announcement, and have traditionally not been used for hard news. I do not beleive in the old days that this story would have gotten past Bos Johnson.

Can someone tell me why Pike County has no FEMA assistance yet?? Less than 1/4 from my home is WV. They have already had FEMA come in and have received monetary and other assistance. There are people here in Pike County KY with NOTHING and I do mean nothing. What is the hold up? Is it Governor Beshear or is it President Obama? We need to get this ball rolling and bring help in here. We are hurting Governor Beshear! If the WV government can take care of their people then the KY government should follow suit. This is just pitiful. If our elected officials cant take care of us, I think we need some who can!

Big Earl, do you hold a job or are you one of them coal miners that got handed a disability check back in the '80s? You seem to have a lot of free time on your hands. Maybe you should donate some of your time to NASA. With all your hot air you could blow that space shuttle to the the outer reaches of our solar system. That would be a win-win! You could help out them tree huggers cause and still be able to do what you love...shooting off your mouth.

Posted by: Keith on May 21, 2009 at 02:53 PM
Well you know I do like Ron Paul and hope for the best with him but realistically how much support did he pull in the 2008 election? He would be great, but barring something earth shattering, he will probably never be elected sad as that is. I give Clinton credit on this one, and Bush too, I think there is a difference between a mistake and a deliberate lie. Most are not so generous to admit it, but mistakes can be made without a lie being involved. What is scary, and mostly overlooked, is why were both men (and Kerry, Edwards, Rockefeller, Pelosi, etc...) all mistaked? Bad intel services. One mistake I think Bush made was in trying to be all touchy feely and nice he kept on most of Clinton's people; Clinton fired all the US attorneys, 90 some I think, Bush fired 8 and all torment breaks loose. He had holdovers in CIA, DIA, FBI, etc...that apparently didnt serve Clinton too well or him either. Are they serving Obama well? If I was in any of them, I would be retiring as soon as possible

just read a story about the mighty ohio and the little kanawha being so polluted you can't swim in them. it also said the epa raised the toxic levels for w.v. because the people didn't eat as much fish as other states. here's the good part- we have gotten used to the polution and don't mind it!Hello, who are they talking to? Here's the best part, who is responsible for all the mercury poisoned streams? coal fired power plants are for 75%. also coalslurries where they wash the coal is contaminated by heavy metals and the water that some clown pretended to drink is toxic. Anything that kills are streams and enviroment and our kids i am totally against. You can read this story on hurherald.com. I like the quote you can't argue with an idiot, he will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience!

Hello good working people of WV this is Big Earl and I for one am glad that WV people have friends in high places, let Garth Brooks keep his in low ones. I am speaking of course about a story I saw on my favorite TV news about a certain coal company that shall remain unnamed due to not giving nobody the big head but some people deserve a shout out when they help there neighbors dig out of a flood. Which is what happened when some very highly trained surface mine equipment operators were loaned to help and used there talents to help there fellow WV people who got hit real hard in the flood. We also have a good Gov. to people I think when I see goofballs like Conan the Barbarian who got knocked on the head one to many times with a dumbell in Washington DC throwing in with tree huggers and hippies ruining the great state of CA into the ground and trying to turn the gas stations into starbucks hippie coffee houses and ruining the automobile industry and I contrast that with a Gov. what rolls up his sleeves and does the dirty work when needed and still finds time to fly to Washington DC and give what for to the EPA types when they bother our jobs well it makes me proud to be a WV person.

Look at what these Greenpeace hippie treehuggers got Martin, Gibson and Fender guitar companies to do. These are the same guitars used by Elvis, George Jones, Hank Sr. and many many others in music history. They have forced the hand of guitar companies to use other wood rather than Sitka spruce that made Martin guitars sound so good. I wonder if those hypocrite treehuggers want the Sitka spruce for themselves to build those "windmills" with? http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/features/6225640.html#none

Posted by: Keith on May 20, 2009 at 04:09 PM
...so Bush lied? Were back there again? That is so easy to disprove, even for you, and here is how: I used to like to play a game with liberals. I would go back to 1998-2000 and get the quotes from Clinton saying the same about Iraq, Saddam, and WMDs that Bush said later, read them to a liberal and tell them I support the president. Naturally, the liberal wouldnt know the history of the quote, so they would froth at the mouth their eyes would roll back in their head and they would begin chanting Bush lied kids died. Then I would tell them it was Clinton. LOL. You CANNOT call Bill a liar, no matter what; you are not allowed to; but he and W said the same things. Just for fun I would then read the quote from John Edwards about Iraq and the imminent threat it posed. Call an exorcist! What fun. As for gammaw Nancy, dont fret, as with all liberals she gets a 2nd and 3rd chance to revise and correct any remarks made. She will come through just fine unless O wants Steny in and her gone.

I don't like someone (obama) telling me I shouldn't be driving an SUV. Some people have more than two kids, try putting three booster seats in the back of a corolla and see how far you get. See if you can survive a wreck in one of those smart cars. Could you imagine hitting a deer? Some people like the feeling of larger vehicles. How would Obama feel if I told him he couldn't ride in his limo or the presidential jet because it is not fuel efficient

Good day to all the good working people of WV this is the working persons friend Big Earl. Did any of you people hear about that green hippie house up in a place called Troy Michigan close to ohio of course that they tried to build and snooker off on the public for nearly a million dollars? Well I would like to tell the good hard working people of Michigan do not buy something like this. It didn’t have no electric, which means it didn’t burn any coal to heat it or cool it, and there were no flush toilets either you know the trouble with these hippie flophouses is they always forget something and this time they forgot to leave the sink faucet running on a cold night (to save all the scarce water no doubt) so the pipes froze up and busted and cost a bundle to fix. Theres your global warming tree hugger. Since the floor was made out of glued together weeds and recycled cardbord it got ruined to. Hey you hippies I have a nice out building I would sell you at a discounted rate of only a half million dollars it has one room I can throw the tools out and knock a hole in the roof and call it solar powered. These people don’t have no sense, it sounds to me like they want to take us all back to where we in WV were well over 100 years ago and people I do not call that progress. I like my lights air conditioning and indoor plumbing.

you know when I was a Kid the toll booths was suppose of pay for itself and that it would be taken out guess not since the toll booths are paying to have the roads fix on the toll booths what happen to the state of taking care of it.Now about the user fees in huntington I think it stinks because the roads wont get fix look it been what eight years plus, all they think about is hiring police officer yes I agree we need more police officers, but know more when they hire them they are letting them go ,because dont have the money to keep them on the police force so what make them think by raising the user fee is going to make any difference in order to fix the roads.

Yes Keith I have seen that website.I spend 3 to 4 hrs a night surfing the net looking for truth.It is true about the fema camps.Watch California!It will show you what is to come.Hey Sick of Politics,you are spot on with Ron Paul!I finally got to rent I.O.U.S.A! Everyone needs to see this!Rent it from netflix or Blockbuster.I really hope everyone is taking what ever savings they have and buying gold and silver.The dollar is losing value soon,and the stock market will go south too.I think down to 5000 soon!I know,I know,DOOM and GLOOM.Sometimes the truth is hard to read.Go rentI.O.U.S.A.Watch Peter Schiff.Watch Ron Paul on YouTube.Watch Zeitgeist.Watch the crash course on chrismartenson.com.Oh whats the use! Most of you are too lazy to watch these things.It's much easier to just let Rush tell you what to think.I'm sorry if this offends some of you,but like I stated,the truth is sometimes hard to read.

For the last time KEITH before you say I am on the left because I don't share your views for just once listen. Do you think McCain could have done any better with the mess that Bush left behind? I do not vote for a person because of what party they belong to, I voted for the person with the best ideas/experience to fix this great nation. IMO that person was Ron Paul and if you look up some of his ideas/visions on youtube then you may even agree with me that he was the best man for the job. If you want to categorize me in a political stance then I would favor the Libertarian party over the other two failures. But asking you to be rational may be asking too much.

You guys have to be kidding about Pelosi! Even if I believed that Nancy Pelosi lied (which I don't think has been proven as of yet), the reaction from the radical right is utterly laughable. You want Pelosi to resign because her comments were unclear? Resign because she lied? In the past 8 years, the Bush administration was caught in lies on a weekly basis. Bush/Cheney - WMDs in Iraq, Al-Qaeda connection to Saddam, Bush's statement about leaking of Plame's identity and his intention to punish whoever was responsible (with a commutation - boy, that was severe). Somehow, Pelosi's comments rise to the level of resignation?

Hey carveontruth did you hear about the wethepeoplefoundation.com website? I saw where they are having a rally and mobilizing against the Fed. Looks like Glenn and Sean are doing some good work getting the word out. I heard Beck talking about FEMA setting up secret detention camps all over the USA a while back. I wonder did anyone see Congressman Rahall's comments on the recent flooding, that they cannot in any way be blamed on coal mining. It will be nice to put that wild speculation to rest. Right on Raymond. And you too Raven but Nancy gets a pass. I heard Rush play an audio clip from an MSNBC show with a reporter being interviewed. He said Nancy needed a "do-over" nice how she gets a second and third chance. Good comments too LP Obama is a wrecking ball. Nothing is going to get better this year or even next, everyone had better strap in for a very long hard bumpy ride the new-New Dealers are back and you see how successful that was in the 1930s. 9 long years of economic horror.

Whats the difference between the rebel flag and other flags, nothing, its what others deems it to be.The rebel flag was a flag designed for the southern states who left the union.it was a war flag just like the nazi flag. to ban the rebel flag is taking away a part of history that needs to be reminded of, people turns it into something bad. If that is the case then the civil war should be banned from the history books, and www2 should be banned due to the nazi flag, and all other flags banned and removed. Every one is going on about the issues the flag represents,well, what about the slaughter of native americans and tribes totally destroyed thats history under the union flag. my god people its getting to the point were we cannot have any freedom at all, I like the rebel flag does that make me biased or racist NO!!! IT MEANS A FLAG TO ME NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS BUT A WAR FLAG.

Posted by: Raymond on May 19, 2009 at 11:38 AM
The story about the parade and the confederate flag is not allowed, thought this was a free country! If their flag is not allowed then the stars and stripes should not be. The south is not allowed to display their history, absurd! maybe if it was the star and crescent moon? Maybe the south should rise again, I know where my feet would be. MY opinions are mine and no one else's, everyone is equal and there should never be two set's of rules. Come to calhoun or ritchie county and you will see the Rebel Flag right under old glory! Enjoy what you have left of your freedom, it will be short-lived!

Then there is the flight over NYC another fine job. These are the top three people running our country or running it into the ground. Like everyone I was glad to see an end of the Bush era, but at what price? Reminds me of a bad 3 Stooges show. Obama showes weakness, Biden leaks classified information, Polosi an idiot.

Nancy Pelosi Lied- Its Time For Her To Resign-At a time when the CIA was trying to protect us from further terrorist plots.Now shes trying to throw the very organization that protects us under the carpet. Caught in a web of half-truths, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday accused the CIA of misleading Congress about the waterboarding of top Al Qaeda terrorists. Her brazenness was a thing to behold. There she was, forced into admitting that she had been well aware the CIA was using the tactic after having insistently led the world to believe otherwise. Did she apologize for dissembling? Did she beg pardon for failing to be sufficiently clear in her statements? Did she plead that there had been a misunderstanding of what she knew and when? NO,NO AND NO NANCY PELOSI ITS TIME TO GO.YOU HAVE LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.DO US ALL A FAVOR AND RESIGN.I FOR ONE WOULD NOT STAND FOR YOU RUNNING THIS COUNTRY EVEN IF YOU ARE 3RD IN LINE.MY BYRD I WOULD HOPE YOU ASK FOR HER RESIGNATION.

People of WV I would like to ask you a question: what is the state animal of the great state of WV? That’s right, if you stayed awake in WV history in the 8th grade it is the great Black Bear. Which leads me to my next point. If coal mining is really destroying the planet like these green hippies and PETA types claim, then how come we have so many bears in WV? If you don’t believe me just leave the lid off your trash can now that the frost is done. I mean all I hear from these tree huggers is how we in WV trying to earn an honest living and keep the country running decent are killing polar bears and penguins and other snow creatures up at the north pole. People the polar bear must be a worthless bear. What good are they? You know all truly great bears have been turned into cartoon characters to do some good for the public. Take the noble brown bear, Smokey, who teaches little children not to set the hills on fire. How about those three black bears who teach that little girl not to nose around on other peoples property? The only place I have ever seen a polar bear is on a Coke commercial and that is only at Christmastime. If coal mining was really killing off the polar bears and turning Tennessee Tuxcedos igloo into a slushee, then how on earth have so many bears lived here in prosperity for so long in such a honored status. It is simple to figure out if you have got any sense at all.
