President Obama will speak at Ohio State's graduation in May. The president has a lot in common with those students. He's currently in his fifth year and swamped with debt.
It's tiring to hear deadheads from the purist right constantly wanting to take away from people who have nothing. ... You can tell they have never picked up anything but a pencil, inherited their money, mommy or daddy changed their diapers well after adolescence.
According to the organization "Maplight" ("Revealing Money's Influence On Politics"), Joe Manchin has received $103,910 from pro-Israel lobbying groups. Going once. Going twice. Sold?
It's clear our new governor is a Republican-in-disguise by the lack of leadership protecting our citizens from harm by dangers in the workplace, pollution of our land, destruction of our parks from deforestation and the list goes on.
The American entrepreneur is at risk of becoming an endangered species. Strangled by regulation and taxation, the opportunity to succeed is becoming smaller by the day.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has now hired on his staff someone who for maybe five months will not be able to perform the duties of the job. He has also refused to explain his decision and will not let Mr. Lin discuss it either. What happened to the campaign promise of "absolute transparency?"
The crossbow would be an excellent tool for the urban deer hunts that most larger cities in West Virginia are now having each fall. The crossbow is very accurate. It has about the same distance range as a modern compound bow.
I got a great idea on how to get your kids to eat only fruits and vegetables. As a parent, don't bring anything but fruit or vegetables into the house. If they eat junk, you are the one who brought it in and fed it to them. With children, you get what you raise.
When I hear folks say that President Obama is ruining our country, etc., I wonder how they will feel when his second term is complete and the economy has improved, the deficit is creeping downward, health care is more available, our troops have come home and more.

Again, the president has no control over the price of gas. It is the greedy oil companies who are mostly owned by Republicans. They are robbing the public blind and at the same time getting millions in handouts from the Republicans in Congress.
House of Representatives pension $7,365.82 a month. Get elected, get money.
A 20-year janitor at Whitesville school got almost $1,000 a month pension. Policeman in the newspaper gets more than $1,500. I worked 23 years in coal mines represented by the United Mine Workers. My pension is $330 a month. So if you want to get a big pension like me, work where the UMW will help you.
I hope that Anne Barth either challenges Shelley Moore Capito for the Senate or runs for the House seat that will be opening up.
I was looking in the Sunday Gazette at all the concealed weapons permits. I hope the sorry punk criminals are on the business end of that deal.
Does anyone know a restaurant in the Charleston area that serves soft-shelled crab when they come into season?
I tried to watch some commercials on Fox Sports on Sunday, but they interrupted them from time to time with some cars running around in circle in a single file.
Ken Hall asked, "Where are the friends of coal miners?" Most are dead. Ken Hechler and Dr. Fred Barkey are probably the best living friends of coal miners. The United Mine Workers' union is another dead friend of coal miners. The friends of coal are friends of coal companies.
The poorest states in the country are all in the South and are made up of Republicans and run by Republican politicians.
Would just like to say that Elizabeth Noreika at WCHS is doing a wonderful job! She looks and acts professional, as I am sure she is. Her speech is very clear. She is also very pleasant. I hope she continues to do the news.
