The West Virginia Rag
The Only Fake News Site Devoted Solely to the Mountain State
John Raese is permanently on
The Rag
following 2010! After losing
the senator's race he left his
wife and their pink tile
driveway in Florida and had a
threesome in Alaska with
Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent.
"We're true conservatives and
we stick together," Raese said
of his new friends. "Especially
when Ted breaks out that
Wango Tango lube.'

7. Manhood takes a
Holliday: Doc Holliday
named Marshall's new
head football coach.
Celebrates the moment
by tenderly shedding
many, many tears with
his old high school
coach. I'd hate to see
these sensitive guys
react to sad news.  
6. The Greenbrier brings pro
golf and country music
superstars to West Virginia.
Oh yeah, and legalized
gambling. Progress!

8. Earl Ray Tomblin
becomes governor.
West Virginia yawns.

9. Massey Energy
CEO Don Blankenship
retires; his greasy
mustache is still in
action, unfortunately.
His retirement plans
include traveling to
vacation spots with
judges hearing suits
against Massey, and
also belching.  
10. Michigan finally       
fires Rich Rodriguez.
Mountaineer fans finally put
down their voodoo dolls. He
still owes $500,000 to the
state as part of his contract
buyout, but there's probably
some lawns in Morgantown
he can mow.
West Virginia's Top 10 Stories of 2010
5. Coal baron Don
Blankenship debates celebrity
environmentalist Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr. on live TV.
Lincoln versus Douglas, it
wasn't. More like Itchy versus
Scratchy, maybe.
Or Snobby versus Slobby.
4. Senatorial candidates Joe
Manchin and John Raese get
dirty and personal. In their
attack ads. Not, you know, in a
motel room somewhere.
Manchin attempts to display his
"regular Joe"-ness by shooting
guns, including assault weapons
(don't all normal guys do that?).
Raese hires somebody to fire
some guns for him.
3. WVU reveals its choice
for the next Mountaineer
football coach:
Bobcat Goldthwaite. Coach
Stew is given one last
season to cry and say
"Goshdangit" on the
sidelines.
2. Sen. Robert C.
Byrd dies. Maybe
somebody should
name something
after him.
1. Upper Big Branch
mining disaster
claims 29 lives.
Nothing at all funny
about that. Obviously.
