Wild Wonderful West Virginia … about d*mn time.

Jump to Comments

Many years ago, the unofficial offical slogan of West Virginia was “Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.”  Then, along came Governor Joe Manchin and he decided he knew best.  You know, the people never really know what’s best for them, the politicians need to tell them.

So, Good Ol’ Joe decided to change the highway welcome signs to “West Virginia, Open for Business.”  (Yeah, right)  The people have been complaining ever since.  That’s just a dumb slogan.  There’s nothing else you can really say.  It’s just dumb.

Now, in an attempt to make the people feel as though they have tangible power when it comes to state government, Governor Manchin admitted defeat and let the people ‘vote’ on a ‘new’ slogan.  And they chose ….. “Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.”  <yawn>

Method of Voting	Wild, Wonderful	Almost Heaven	The Mountain State
Web site	23,653	15,015	2,616
Telephone	4,393	2,576	504
TOTAL VOTES	28,046	17,591	3,120
Grand Total Votes	48,757

I’m so impressed!!  The people actually have a say in government issues.  /sarcasm

Come on people.  This is a joke.   Our economy is junk, our capital county is busting meth labs all over the place, a doctor who hid child abuse that contributed to the death of a little boy keeps getting his hearing post-poned, schools are suing over football games and you are excited about a new state slogan.
