West Virginia University -- a school of learning. How many professors or other educators will receive in a lifetime the amount of money that the coach will receive in a five-year period?
The 1987 movie "Wall Street" had a happy ending, as the tyrannical tycoon who destroys American companies and jobs, so his investors make more money, is headed to prison where he belongs. In real life the villainous Gordon Gekko, er, I mean Mitt Romney-hood, gets the Republican nomination.
I am surprised that the violence at Ravenswood started so early, as it normally takes them a few more days to destroy other people's property.
What is Romney so ashamed of in his tax returns? Is he lying to us? Did he really not pay any tax for 10 years? Why else would he be so ashamed to reveal his financial past.
The potholes at the St. Albans Mall are going to cause a lawsuit. Shame on the management for their willful neglect.
Pennsylvania Avenue in St. Albans is a state secondary highway and is by far the worst-condition road in the state. Patches are four deep in places. There is going to be a bad wreck due to negligence.
Why in the world do we the people blame Congress for anything? After all, are we not responsible for putting them in office? If you want a do-nothing Congress, just keep splitting them up and shut up. Get real.
Isn't it amazing how a comment from a Christian about his beliefs, based on the word of God, can cause so much commotion?
I am glad to see that 4,000 people came out for the Cabela's grand opening. I might have gone if I did not have a job to be at.
President Obama must have another term to see his changes through. So, go ahead, Mr. President, and do whatever it takes. Fight fire with fire. We get it, and we will forgive you.
Yes, the 47 percent pay sales tax on items. Where did they get the money they're spending? Are they paying enough sales tax to repay the benefits they're receiving? That's why the federal freebie well is always dry and we're expected to pay more taxes to refill it.
People in fear that the GOP will destroy Social Security have it wrong. The program is already in trouble because of Democrats in the past changing it to allow people who never paid into it to collect benefits. Let's just keep repeating talking points hear we hear at the coffee shop without thinking and seeing the big picture.

You will know the state budget problems are getting serious when they start carving into the sacred cow called "education."
The Mickey Mouse GOP has a new leader who will pied piper them over a cliff just like GW. No talking to these people. They are lost.
This is for the reader who thinks Shelley Moore Capito votes with the GOP and has the best interest of the state of West Virginia. Here's the truth: Shelley Moore Capito only thinks of Shelley Moore Capito. Get real.
The state Board of Education does not need to talk about how to fix the bad report. They need to talk about how to fix deficiencies. Get on with it.
Guns are not the problem, it is the moral decay of society. We have not taught our children to fear God and to value life.
Wow. Travel 1,000 miles to watch a $17 million coach. It's great to be a Herd fan.
I am tired of the reality TV shows. I think that they are teaching the next generation to act like idiots and be rude and arrogant and it's OK and you'll get on TV.
To the caller who said Carol Fouty should have quit years ago and 75 is too old to make unbiased decisions and still keep the law in mind -- you're crazy. Since when is 75 too old? You must be a young'un.
The person who said Christians never line up at food banks or homeless shelters should check into things before they speak. Churches provide tremendous hundreds of pounds of food to the shelters and Covenant House.
God is not smiling at Chick-fil-A. Jesus was not a bigot and said nothing about gays. He always reached out to outcasts.
You people who rip Fox News are unbelievable. You cannot see the forest for the trees. MSNBC does nothing but rip Republicans and has never said one positive word about any Republican or any conservative.
I'm 72 years old and I just received my highest electric bill ever. Thank you, Obama and the EPA. I really appreciate that.
I hope for $20 million WVU will at least ask Dana Holgorsen to wear the school colors.
