Don't trust the EPA... trust AEP?

At least, that's what the illustrious editor of the Wheeling "news"papers is telling his readers today.

Instead of giving the EPA credence, we suggest Americans listen to more objective - honest, in other words - sources. For example, American Electric Power officials have estimated that passage of climate change bills as now configured could increase the cost of coal-generated electricity by about 75 percent.

Then, he goes on to just make up a complete lie. Mike Myer the liar is quite fond of doing this.

Here in West Virginia and Ohio, passage of bills such as those being debated in the Senate and House of Representatives probably would cost the typical family $100 more a month - or more.

Myer provides no citations, no sourcing, no anything. He just makes it up out of polluted air! It seems that the Blankenship-Nutting Cartel is getting very desperate.

Then again, this is typical of Myer considering the three anti-gay editorials he's published in his "news"paper over the last three weeks.

And they wonder why subscription sales are nearing an all-time low? They wonder why advertising sales have experienced a sharp decline in the last two years?

I hear people talk about the "liberal media", yet all I see is right-wing extremism from the Nutting Cartel.

To end on a more humorous note: "You might be a Republican if... you complain about liberal bias in the obituaries section."

Mike Myer the liar strikes again! (0.00 / 0)
This time on the public option!

Public Doesn't Want The 'Public Option'
How quickly they forget. Members of Congress, we mean. Just a few weeks ago while most of them were in their home districts for a break in August, they seemed to get the message that most Americans do not want "the public option" - a gigantic government-run health insurance program.

But during the weekend, some Senate leaders said it appears they are close to gaining the 60 votes they need to include a "public option" in a health care bill. They claim changes in the original proposal make the idea more palatable now.

I think Sen.Rockefeller is talking about collected vs paid for care numbers (0.00 / 0)
You know, the ones that the CIGNA VP Wendell Potter they hired outside data firms to reduce.

Now what is profit under which accounting rules, smartypants? Let's see, based on the books for the IRS or the books for the stock holders? Based on all those advertisement being deductible? Is a fine for off-label advertising deductible? Is the money they spend on lobby whores deductible? Is all this "just the cost of doing business, suckers"?

And is there a way to separate the losses on their investment on Wall Street from the priced risk on the health care side? I think that is why, in light of their anti-trust exemption and his position as Commerce chair, that Jay asked for some forensic accounting.

Personally, I think their margin should be about that of someone selling garlic.

The Journal Junction here actually printed (4.00 / 1)

I've called Mollohan and Charlie Wilson (4.00 / 1)
Asking them to co-author an op-ed reponse to Mike Myer the liar. Unfortunately, anyone else who attempts to do so will never be published by Myer and his right-wing extremist owners.

I heard two more advertisers pulled their money out of the Intelligencer today.
