KY-Sen: Paul says mountain-top mining "enhances" land

[WI_DEM]

Sharron Angle wishes she wouldn't thought of this first!

Paul believes mountaintop removal just needs a little rebranding. "I think they should name it something better," he says. "The top ends up flatter, but we're not talking about Mount Everest. We're talking about these little knobby hills that are everywhere out here. And I've seen the reclaimed lands. One of them is 800 acres, with a sports complex on it, elk roaming, covered in grass." Most people, he continues, "would say the land is of enhanced value, because now you can build on it."

I don't know, this doesn't look all that enhanced to me:

4. Way back in the early sixties

A guy named Gerald Gardner came out with a book with funny captions of photos of political figures.

One was some official reading a press release, encaptioned "Soviet scientists have just proven that fallout is good for you."

gulf coast will be after eating all of that yummy oil. oh and what's really not being talked about is how great your skin will feel after taking a good little skinny dip in those waters, that lite sweet crude is just wonderful for your skin.
