Seems to me this film has been made with Steven Seagal and Marg Helgenberger.

Every executive officer involved in this fiasco should placed in the same cell with Bernie Madhoff.

And as the resident Fire Captain who works on regulating these businesses, the State Fire Marshal should also be asked why that agency failed. The state has adopted a National Fire Protection Association/ANSI standard that specifically required engineered containment structures. The state environmental agency could have required the same under the Oil Pollution Act (40 CFR 119).

Anybody see The Host (The Korean horror movie, not the recent YA shitfest)? Giant monster created by chemical spill. It's coming next, people!

Better living through chemistry... if you survive.

Right, because West Virginia has such good retraining programs in place for 4th generation miners.

It's not in a great position to reinvent itself to attract new industries or become Silicon Hollow. The one real asset it has is the spectacularly beautiful landscape. If they can resist the urge to wreck all the rivers and strip all the mountains and Frackville the Appalachian to death, it could be a great destination.

Well, at least we won't have to change their postal code when they are officially renamed Waste Virginia.

Let's see Carl Kennedy II eat one of those three-eyed fish from the river.

When we outlaw blowjobs, only outlaws will get blowjobs.

I am oddly OK with that, being of the outlawish persuasion.
