Something has happened to Democrat Representative Nick Joe Rahall (DEMOCRAT).

Earlier he had to take Joe Manchin to task for being critial of the EPA saying he was, "still confident that the EPA — as a matter of fact, I know they will, they have told me they will — will work with our industry to make the necessary corrections or revisions or tweaking or whatever is necessary, where the operator wishes to pursue such permits."  He also said, "In spite of the fact Obama Administration has stated repeatedly they do NOT support the coal industry - I still know they will, they have told me they will make the necessary corrections or revisions or tweaking or whatever or something, maybe, I don't really know... What was the question again?"

Recently, however, Democrat Representative Nick Joe Rahall (DEMOCRAT) has caused some on Capitol Hill to wonder where the real Nick Joe is.  He is now (prepare yourselves... if you are faint of heart - you may want to read some funnies, instead) making statements that are... (ready?) CRITICAL of Obama's EPA (I know, right?!).  "Some time ago, it had long been my belief that the EPA could be a positive force in the permitting process for surface coal mining in West Virginia," Rahall said in a statement. "After years of battles in courtrooms that left coal miners and coal communities in a long, tenuous limbo, this EPA had an opportunity to help achieve a center point that would provide for both energy development and environmental preservation. But it has utterly failed."

It is unclear if he thought through the math on that last statement.  If it's been "YEARS of battles" in a "long, tenuous limbo" - why had it "LONG been my belief that the EPA could be a positive force..."?  It seems he only JUST came to the conclusion whereas Joe Manchin saw the light a little earlier.

Therefore, it is this editor's belief that Joe Manchin may now be mind controlling Joe Rahall or has replaced him with a robot, or he's been abducted by aliens and replaced with a shapeshifter, or tweaked, or whatever or something.  We hope for a speedy recovery for Nick Joe Rahall... whatever his condition. 

Or something.
