Tuesday: Fossil Fools Day
Many thanks to Nanette in the chat room for the story!
Fossil Fools Day in Charleston, WV
Lunch time as usual was interrupted in the Capital Building of West Virginia today when a spontaneous Fossil Fools Awards Ceremony began. The ceremony, hosted by King Coal, was held to celebrate West Virginia governor Joe Manchin and Coal Baron Don Blankenship receiving the prestigious award of Life Time Achievement in Fossil Foolery in Appalachia. Unfortunately, neither Manchin nor Blankenship were able to collect their awards in person, but news cameras from several local TV stations were there as stand-ins accepted the awards in their honor.
