Gem of the day

Another mind-blowingly stupid move from the US: West Virginia (which, word to the wise, currently has a Democratic governor) sues the Obama administration AND the EPA over new federal rules on mountaintop removal mining. Witness the pallid justification:

“Over the past year and a half, we have been fighting President Obama’s administration’s attempts to destroy our coal industry and way of life in West Virginia,” Manchin said today. “We are asking the court to reverse EPA’s actions before West Virginia’s economy and our mining community face further hardship.”
