CHARLESTON — The Beth Walker for Supreme Court campaign officially has opened its campaign headquarters in Charleston.

The office will serve as the campaign’s central hub for statewide campaign activities.

Walker was joined by campaign staff, volunteers and supporters gathered at a Grand Opening Reception on June 10 at the office, which is located at 191 Summers Street (the corner of Lee and Summers Streets) in downtown Charleston.

“Our campaign remains focused on the importance of a fair and impartial court system for the future prosperity of West Virginians,” Walker said. “By opening our headquarters, we continue to expand our ability to spread the word about my commitment to integrity and the rule of law. I am grateful for all of our volunteers across the state who are being so generous with their time and talent.”

You Decide 2008

Will the REAL Beth Walker please stand up?

Adding the next photo from here. Cropped and enlarged.

I just can’t decide. In my opinion, if this is just some stranger Steve Walker has never met before, they went to an awful lot of trouble to find someone that looks a lot like Beth Walker. I’ll give Steve this much, it is an uncanny resemblance especially since the talent for the ad was supplied outside of his hiring. The middle two photos were taken from the bug commercials so those photos are at least six months old. Not that I think it is the same person or anything like that, because I just don’t know. You decide…

EPA finds no mayflies near mining

Federal government scientists have found that mountaintop removal is eliminating mayflies in the creeks downstream from large mining operations, according to a new study being published later this year.

The findings not only indicate mountaintop removal is harming aquatic bugs, but also show large-scale mining is damaging overall water quality downstream from valley fills.

So much for the bug commercials.

The poll is completely anonymous. Initial results on 6/20 or sooner depending on participation.

Poll moved to far sidebar.

    These videos were the catalyst which caused this very blog to come into being. You don’t have to be a biologist to know they were full of crap, it just takes a little common sense.

    The thing that pissed me off the most was not so much the disinformation but the fact it was being put out there by Walker Machinery and we all know the interest they have in MTR.

    First time I have seen the bug videos, although I had heard a bit about them here.

    As a biologist, this sort of disinformation enrages me. I call it “Spreading Teh Stoopid”. Nice anthropomorphized critters and a vacuous fallacious narrative about population and habitat impacts top off a Big Lie.
