Keep up the bigoted comments about WV, prove you are a lazy hack. Why don’t you ask your writers to come up with some new material, it’s obvious you can’t.

You are worse than Karl Rove pandering to the fears of the public. You are dismissing the entire state, a state you obviously don’t understand. Maybe you should stop whining about the outcome of the primary and try to do something about it.

To quote someone I used to respect, “You’re hurting America! Stop it!”

On TWiT last week, Mr. Dvorak made the sarcastic comment that Illustrators and Photographers think that Copyright is all about them.

It is John. (more…)

So, how is it that not only the true mainstream media, blogs, blog commentators and the industrial humor complex (including Jon Stewart) succeed in painting my entire state, West Virginia, as racist without understanding their own bigotry. It is a sad day when everyone points and laughs and the media takes no responsibility for their obvious impotence in the face of an under-informed population.

You can’t fight racism with regional bigotry.

We, the state of West Virginia, have provided coal for cheap heat and electricity to the east coast for hundreds of years, all the while living in isolation and poverty. From generation to generation we eek out subsistence and yank ourselves up by our bootstraps only to have to move away for a decent job. You will find West Virginians everywhere you go, displaced but friendly, holding get-togethers, finding one another, discussing the world and trying to get by. So before you judge us all by the cherry-picked interviewees, try to get to know one of us. No matter how little we have, we are willing to give, and just because some of us are misinformed due in no small part to the media, we are willing to listen.
