I am quite thrilled that the Democratic Party has had a massive victory in the November 2006 General Election. I am further thrilled that Don Blankenship's arrogant attempt to buy a Republican Legislature was soundly rejected by the fair minded voters of this state of West Virginia.

Don Blankenship WV Politics

Don Blankenship wants us all to believe that filthy rich coal barons have the best interest of the children at heart, in much the same way they want us to believe that they have the best interest of the coal miners at heart.
Coal Baron's have historically raped this states resources and treated its citizens poorly. I have absolutely no reason to believe anything has changed.

Every time I see Don Blankenship on TV, the old song "16 Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford comes to mind. Coal Barron's and politics are like guns and whiskey, they just don't mix.

The Buffalo Creek Disaster due to the negligence of coal executives is not such a distant memory. To forget history is to abandon the potential for repetition.

Coal Baron's have had well over a hundred years to show this state how much they care, and all of a sudden Don Blankenship wants to throw a hundred years of exploitive and malific precedent to the wind and lead us to a better way of living? No way...No Sale! Don says he wants to make the state a better place. If he really meant that, he would do the right thing and jump off of his wallet and make the state of WV a better place.

The politics of Don Blankenship overshadow the the WV-GOP in magnitude and in budget. Don Blankenship and his money are a political party in their own right and the Democrats know it.

Phone eNews - Bu$h Alternative Fuel Breakthrough

Crawford, TX - Sitting there in the driveway of the pResident's Texas hobby ranch sits the prototype for a new vehicle that Republicans and Oil Corps hope will cure America's dependence on foreign oil... a large SUV that runs on dollar bills.  A spokesman for Exon stated, "They thought we could not outsource the jobs of gas station attendants.  Well, with this system, every car will have a money slot.  You won't even have to stop at the station.  You insert the dollar bill, a satelite uplink sends that information to our office in New Dehli, and the bill is burned to propel your guzzler another mile down the road."  The pResident added, "Money is a renewable resource.  We can just  print more of it."  He then turned, slid a crisp new twenty into his prototype chain saw and said, "It's cheaper than a sky box for a Rangers game and a lot more fun."

Phone eNews - Hastert Apologizes

Plano, IL - In a rare display of non-partisanship,
Speaker of the House, J. Dennis Hastert, today apologized for the press
release attacking John Kerry posted on his website Tuesday, stating,
"It was unconscienable for me to disrespect Senator Kerry. While he was
serving our country in the MeKong Delta in Vietnam on his second tour,
putting his life on the line, I was doing body slams of teen boys on
the mats of Yorkville High School. He has consistently supported the
troops, while my voting record resulted in a grade of "F" from the
Afghanistan and Iraq Veterans' Association. This voting record is the
true affront to our soldiers in harms way."

Phone eNews - National Day of Prayer

Republican Partisan and Envangelical Christian leader
Pat Robertson has accused Democrats of attempting to sabatoge his
National Day of Prayer to protest abortion. "We are calling on all
Christians across the country to join us from midnight to midnight,
spending the entire 24 hours locked in our churches to protest the
continued slaughter of innocent unborn children." The protest,
scheduled for November 7th, is opposed by secular humanists who call
for voter participation in the scheduled election.

Phone eNews - Hastert Meets with OJ

Ft.Lauderdale, FL - Freed from his campaign duties by
a Republican Party that considers him snake bit, if not downright
toxic, Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert was seen meeting today in
a Florida golf club restaurant with alleged murderer O.J.Simpson. A
spokesman for the former Buffaloe running back stated, "They were
discussing joining forces in finding the murderer and who knew that
Mark Foley was a pedofile." adding "They find similarities both in the
nature of their searches and how they have been treated by the press."
Nobody actually saw the rotund congressman on the course but when asked
about his handicap, the Speaker stated, "It is hard to see the ball
when putting."

Phone eNews - DC Halloween HiJinks

"Washington, DC -
Businesses and residents of the Nation's capital are scrambling to
replace Halloween decorations following the revelation that Osama Ben
Ladin has called on Muslims the world over to demonstrate their hatred
of pResident Bu$h by displaying a large orange gourd with a face carved
into it to symbolize how even a gourd is smarter than the current
resident of the White House." CIA analysts theorize that Ben Ladin was
scared by a picture of Speaker Dennis Hastert when he said, "The great
Satan has a large fat orange head with eyes that glow in the dark." It
might also be related to Al Jazeera coverage of a Republican rally that
used brooms as a prop to symboliuze a "clean sweep" in the upcoming
Nov. 7th election... but picture captions stated that Republican women
had ridden the brooms to the rally.

Phone eNews - Emergency Election Plans

After a meeting of energy corporations and Bu$h Energy Department
appointees, custodial workers discovered and leaked contingency plans,
including an extensive PowerPoint presentation, for the expected power
outages in heavily Democratic Areas. The RNC has invested millions in
hiring trained Republican volunteers to cast votes in undisclosed
secure locations. "It should make liberals proud that their vote will
be cast and counted, even if they are not there at the time." stated a
highly placed Republican strategist, adding, "For years the liberals
have had 'get out the vote' drives in which they said, 'It doesn't
matter who you vote for... just vote.' Now we will find out if they
meant it."

Phone eNews - Hastert Answers Critics

Peoria, IL - Finally taking the gloves off and vowing to grapple with his Democratic challenger, Speaker Hastert, in a Wheaton College wrestling uniform, addressed a meeting of "union busting" consultants and came out swinging. "The Dems want to ignore the positive stories, the thousands of male teens that I have not conspired to expose to the unwanted overtures of a known pedofile." stated the embattled Republican leader, adding, "Yes, I made a Million dollars on a land deal because I placed a $200 Million earmark in a House bill, but I would have done that for any constituent of my district." Finally, regarding his failure to pay Jack Abranoff for a fund raiser at the notorious Signatures supper club, the Speaker stated, "Maybe not a $12,000 party, but who hasn't paid a restaurant bill a few years late?" Asked about other Republicans who are facing defeat, investigation, and prison for Republican graft and corruption of the last five years, Hastert opined, "When he resigned, I promised Tom Delay that we would stay the course, not cut and run like he did."

Phone eNews - Hastert Won't Run for Minority Leader

Plano, IL - Sitting on his rural Illinois porch in a
intentionally substantial rocking chair and gazing past the trappings
of power, lounging Secret Service agents and large bullet-proof SUVs,
the Speaker, who expected to be on a whurlwind tour of political
fundraisers, in his requested isolation and silence, seemed pensive
about his future in the rubble of the once proud Republican Party.
"Those stubs are like our candidates, once proud rows of identical
plants. They too "stayed the course" but now are chopped off, stripped
of their fruit, and tossed on the ground to rot." Challenged in his own
campaign by a nominal opponent, an underfunded, young, inexperienced
union carpenter who now trails by single digits against the powerful
Republican in a traditionally very safe district, Hastert is resigned
to becoming a insignificant back seater until his retirement in two
years. He has already used income from a land deal linked to a $200
Million earmark to buy a place to retire in another state, where people
don't know him, much less hate him. Perhaps he finds solace in knowing
that the Titanic too changed course before sinking... just not soon
enough.

Phone eNews - End of Days Plans

Washington, DC - In a series of conference calls and
covert liasons in Georgetown strip joints, Bu$h administration
officials are trying to reassure high profile televangelists that there
will be plenty of room for them in the bunkers after the rapture.
Revealing plans that include secure transportation to the underground
shelters and extensive supplies of nubile assistants, the Republican
operatives seek to squash rumors that the Evangelists will be left
behind after their control of the votes of the devout are rendered
moot. One White House staff member, on background stated, "These men
have sold their souls to assure our success. This will not be
forgotten."
