Bobby gives us another good show

Bobby's guests were Laura Steepleton and Nick Stocks who sat in a tree as protestors of mountaintop coal removal at a Massey Coal Mine site and Tiara Curry of the Center for Biological Diversity, opposed to Verizon as a sponsor of a rally for Massey Coal.

Also, two of the security guards hired by Massey speak out against The Don and back up a good deal of Nick and Laura's version of events.

idealism vs. cynicism (4.00 / 2)

I'm idealistic enough, I'd like to live in a country where you can believe the CEO of a corporation when he (or she) makes a public statement.

I know that's not the world I live in, yet somehow, Don Blankenship continues to outpace my cynicism.

Listen to the security guards (4.00 / 2)
