It's always bothered me that people support mountaintop removal; the hills are like, the only thing that WV really has and they just blow a mountain in half and then leave. You're lucky if they bother putting the dirt back, and they certainly don't replant the trees.

Nooooo don't do this!

Feh. Those aren't even real mountains in WV. Maybe in Wyoming they come close, but you gotta get out to Montana for the real whitecaps.

I wish CNN would hire Jeffrey Lord back just to defend why Trump staring directly at the sun was a good thing.

It was hosed up long before the Soviet's invaded, it'll be hosed up long after we leave.

The same, most likely, people forget that the 10 years previous to the Soviet invasion there was a heap of coups and coup attempts.

wait are we really pivoting to a more pro-India stance? personally it seems inevitable but it'd still be a historic development. also of course trump loves modi, just like bibi. what a loving pack of ghouls.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
