King Coal not such a merry old soul
Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship to ABC reporter: "If you're going to start taking pictures of me, you're liable to get shot." (ABC News)
One of the chief architects of the destruction of Appalachian mountains and waterways through mountaintop removal coal mining, Blankenship apparently sheds the "good ol' boy" persona when pressed.

Hi Melissa - I was alerted to your blog - literally by a Google alert for Don Blankenship. I live in West Virginia just a mile or so from a mountaintop removal site.
I am so happy other people are reporting on the monster that is the true Don Blankenship. We have had to deal with his ignorance for far to long.
Thank you.
LOL! Great headline! Concise and correct. I put a link to your post in the comments on a site I'm a co-author on. http://endmtr.com/2008/04/07/tune-into-abc-tonight/
Stop in for a read if you like and check out the forums, we are looking to make them grow.
