West Virginia Governor Resigns
20 Dec. 2007
Charleston WV--AP
West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin said today that he is resigning to
take a similar post as Governor of Michigan. "Michigan offered more
money. It's as simple as that," said Manchin in an interview.
This comes on the heels of an announcement yesterday that
newly-remodeled Chuck Yeager Airport in Charleston WV will be moving to
Battle Creek MI to replace aging airport facilities there.
"I heard Michigan is looking for a new state capitol building. Someone
better tie ours down before they take that, too," said a life-long West
Virginia resident.
Earlier this year West Virginia University's basketball coach, John
Beilein, was hired away by University of Michigan, and in a similar move
two days ago, WVU's football coach, Rich Rodriguez, announced his
resignation to become head coach of the Michigan Wolverine football
program.
WVU Professor of Zoology John White observed, "Wolverines are related
to weasels. They are slow, clumsy, have bad eyesight, and you can smell
them a mile away."
Armed workers at the Toyota engine factory in Putnam County WV have
reportedly set up patrol lines around the plant to make sure it stays
put.
