GUILTY!

HALBURN CONVICTED!

The Putnam Pool Boy, Mark Halburn, alias Mark Hallburn, was convicted Wednesday in Kanawha County Magistrate Court of trespassing. In a hearing before Magistrate Traci Carper-Strickland, Hallburn was found guilty of trespass charges stemming from an August 30, 2009 incident at the Shawnee Park pool in Institute WV.
He was fined $250 plus court costs of $159.50.

You lose, bitch!

When asked after the decision what he was going to do next, Halburn stated, "I'd like to go to Disney World, but that's out of the question, so I'll start loosening up my sphincter for when I go to the sneezer. Maybe a road cone will work."

Good luck getting this one expunged, fatboy.

Halburn said he's going to appeal due to magistrate misconduct. Whatever that is.
We look forward to the appeal (if granted, which is unlikely) so we can fully cover the new trial. We will be on it like stink on the shit that he is.

PutnamLIES.com will have continuing coverage of this story as it becomes available.

Porcine Pussy Purloins Previously Published Post...Again

Another blatant incident of plagiarism has been uncovered by PutnamLIES.com just this afternoon.
Back in July on girlofwords.com, Halburn was raving about the DMV requiring ID to renew his license, and how everyone at the DMV are dummies.
So he starts this blog called DMVDummies. And it just lays there like a turd. Oh, there are a couple of posts but Halburn made them under other names the day he started it.

And then in December just days after PutnamLIES.com revealed his plagiarism of letters to the editor, he copies a GOW post and makes it into a comment on that blog and signs it with the name of GOW's very own, Jacque. (Now cached because Wordpress did the right thing and pulled it down.)
Probably in retaliation for that article. Somehow he has convinced himself and his multiple personalities that Jacque, Lee and the PutnamLIES.com staff are one and the same person. And what better way to get back than to steal an article and reprint it on a blog that nobody reads. I'm sure he was rubbing his fat little hands together and cackling maniacally.

When contacted for comment, Jacque said, "That motherfucking son of a bitch stole my blog and posted it as a comment. And linking to it only by my name is NOT enough. I wasn't cited. It's just offensive. I'm fucking livid. That's unacceptable!"
She talks more about it in this post.

We did not attempt to contact Halburn because we know he did it and frankly we're not interested it how he'd try to explain this.

Watch your back, you fat bastard, We're coming after your advertisers next.

"Handouts" Halburn At It Again

When you have a job that requires you to have tools you buy the best. But not our boy Halburn.
Here's a guy that brags about the money his "news" blog generates. To believe him he's got so many readers that sponsors just throw money at him for the chance to advertise on his online rag.
Yet this pathetic motherfucker doesn't have the scratch to go and buy himself a new laptop when his old one shits the bed.
We're talking about the one item that enables him to allegedly earn a living.


"Handouts" Halburn, unsuccessful businessman


First he wants a free used keyboard because his fat greasy fingers have worn the letters off the old one. That's about a $10 dollar item. Oh yeah, if you have a 21 inch flatscreen monitor laying around he'd like that as well..

Now he wants someone to give him a hand-me-down laptop. Here's his latest want list from the leech's favorite place, Freecycle.
"My notebook has died. Even the Geek Squad couldn't save it. If you received a new notebook for Christmas and want to unload the old one (Windows XP or later) I promise I will put it to great use."

Freecycle rules say, "When requesting an item, you don't have to give a "sob story" about why you need it. "

But of course Li'l Marky can't go along with that. He's got to go for the pity party.
We're surprised he didn't trot out his stillborn daughter.

Back on Nov. 25, 2009 entry in his here today, gone tomorrow blog he writes:
"As I exit the Walmart from purchasing a new notebook computer, I notice that a lady is wandering the parking lot looking for her car."

It's been less than two months, what the fuck happened?
Too much KFC grease dripping off your chin onto the computer? Too much spooge from online porn? Anyone that destroys a computer in two months shouldn't have one.

And you can't have a laptop without software, so then there's:
"I have a student that needs a copy of MSWord. All he has now is WordPad which does not have spellcheck. If you have an older LEGAL version of MSWord sitting around, he could really use it. Again, NO BOOTLEG copies, PLEASE!"

So you're calling yourself a student now? Or do you have one chained up in your basement?
I'm sure there are websites where you could download a copy. You have absolutely no compunctions about stealing someone else's words and photos and trying to pass them off as your own, so why should software be any different? Why not steal that too, you fucking crook?

Did you ever hear the old saying , "Beggars can't be choosers"?
You're sure you don't have any specifications for screen size or processor speed?

You are the worst kind of beggar.
Unless you are really needy.
Then you're the worst kind of husband and father. One who refuses to get a real job and insists that his hobby will make him rich.
Not the mark of a successful businessman.

But once again, like your Walmart obsession, you'd rather have others solve your problems for you. Going around looking for a handout. Letting someone else support you. Filing complaints and lawsuits at any imagined slight. Looking for a free ride.
You are the poster child for the entitlement mentality. You are everything that's wrong with America today.

Maybe you should spend some of that lucrative settlement money you got from Cleveland Construction. What's that? You spent it all already? You've got a lot to show for that.
Then maybe you could ask your second wife to buy you a new computer since she's the one with a real job.

You know what we wish someone would give us? A golden unicorn that shits rainbows.

Setting The Record Straight

Way back in August PutnamEYES.com printed a story entitled My Bias is Showing...Again. In it we revealed that Halburn DELIBERATELY misrepresented that Debra Girimont, a candidate for the House of Delegates, was a sponsor of the Putnam County Tailgate Party when she was merely a participant.PutnamLIES.com knew at the time that Mrs Girimont was not at fault, she was yet another victim of the unscrupulous publisher of PutnumLive.com, Mark Halburn. He was merely using her appearance there as a means to further his own political agenda and satisfy a personal vendetta.

Now the time has come to set the record straight. PutnamLIES.com has obtained a letter which was sent to Halburn by Girimont.

"January 12, 2010

Dear Mark,
After reading your article on candidate filings I felt the necessity to contact you about the article.
Since I declined an interview with you on Monday evening 1/11/2010 the only statement that you should have put in quotes from me is that "I want a better West Virginia".
Your story was written as if you had conducted an interview with me. If you had noted that the quotes you printed were taken directly from my web site, I would not have a problem with what you printed.
I might also add that this is the second time that I have been misrepresented on your web site. The first time being when you printed that I was a sponsor of the Putnam Tailgate Party. When I asked for a printed retraction, you only deleted the statement from the article but did not make it clear to your readers that I never represented myself to you or anyone else as a sponsor of the Tailgate Party.
Therefore, I am asking that you clarify to your readers that what you printed was taken from my web site and not from an interview.
If you wish to ask and print legitimate questions about my campaign, I will accept your questions in writing only and my responses will be in written form.
Sincerely,
Debra Girimont
Candidate for the House of Delegates, 14^th District"

In August we called on Ms. Girimont to demand a correction. It has now become clear that she did just that. Unfortunately, Halburn did not cooperate with that request.
Over a week went by before Halburn quietly changed the wording, but he refused to acknowledge that Ms. Girimont never told him or anyone else that she was a sponsor and no retraction or clarification was ever printed.Then, last week Halburn asked for an interview with her and was turned down. He once again misrepresented the facts and printed quotes that made it appear that he had interviewed Ms. Girimont when he did not. He was forced to change those misleading words in the story.Now, due to these continued gross misrepresentations of the facts, Ms. Girimont will no longer respond to anything but written questions from Halburn and will only respond in kind.

This is one "People's Voice" letter you won't see printed in his Letters to the Publisher.

Ms Girimont, we applaud you for standing up to this bully. A public denunciation from you would have gone a lot farther with your would-be constituents however and demonstrated some leadership against this civic menace.

Had you come to us in the first place this could have been dealt with immediately.

Halburn, we condemn your biased, underhanded, unscrupulous, unethical behavior. These examples show just how low you will go to to make yourself appear to be a legitimate journalist.
Once again you have proven yourself to be the hack we all know you are.

DENIED!

Here's a story you'll see only on PutnamLIES.com..

On January 14, The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia refused 5-0 to hear the appeal of the circuit court’s order granting summary judgment for the defendant City of Hurricane on Halburn’s claim of retaliatory selective enforcement of a municipal ordinance.
In June the circuit court dismissed the City of Hurricane as a defendant. This was Halburn's appeal of that decision.
This was a total smackdown for Halburn. Not one justice thought the case had any merit.
You lose, shitbag.

Halburn's case against Cleveland Construction was settled in November of last year. The terms of that settlement are sealed, but it is known that Halburn went on a $1000 spending spree at the end of last year. That was real lucrative, fatboy. The lawyer and Uncle Sam will walk away with more than you got. Don't forget the taxes on that money, leech.


The case was Delores Halburn and Mark Halburn v. City of Hurricane, West Virginia, a municipal corporation, Ben Newhouse, individually and in his capacity as City Manager for the City of Hurricane, Cleveland Construction, Inc. d/b/a Cleveland Construction, Inc. of Nevada, and Kanawha Stone Company, Inc. - No. 091568.

Mothers Against Dumbass Douchebags


Not his mug shot...this time.

On Friday evening at 7:16 PM PutnamLIES.com received the following comment from a Suddenlink customer (173.81.176.86) in the Ravenswood WV/Syracuse-Racine OH address pool (which includes the Pt. Pleasant area as well.):

"Halburn was busted for aggravated DUI in Point Pleasant between 3 and 4 o'clock Friday. He blew a .193 on the breather. He just bonded out at magistrate court so no mug shot again. $5 grand was the bond (because of his prior problems) But he might get his trespassing bond pulled and go to jail in Charleston. Not even Kim Aaron can save his sorry ass for this one. He was on his way home from teaching social studies at Point Pleasant High School where he has worked since school started in September. Explain this one."

We can explain it. It's not true.
Everyone's heard the old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Well, it was.
Let us make this absolutely clear and say it again: THIS IS NOT TRUE.

PutnamLIES.com immediately contacted Mason County Magistrate Gail Roush who was the magistrate on duty and she stated that he did not come before her. The Western Regional Jail had no record either.
He also never taught at Point Pleasant High School.

This was nothing more than a blatant fabrication, maliciously left in order to mislead PutnamLIES.com into printing a false story. Probably so some douchebag could try and sue us.
Well it didn't work, asshole.
One phone call was all it took. Welcome to the 21st century.
We have standards here.
You can thank us later for protecting your sleazy reputation, gordo.

We Know

The Dipsy Doodle's the thing to beware

The things you say will come out in reverse

Mark Halburn 1961-2010

No, unfortunately he's still alive.
He's just been banned.



Our editorial staff has debated this for some time and we finally reached a decision.
Mark Halburn will no longer be allowed to comment here. He refuses to address any of the allegations here, preferring instead to change the subject and ramble on about whatever's in his head at the moment.
We're sick of him, we're sick of his bullshit.
So he's dead to us here.



Make no mistake, we're still going to be here and we're still going to be on him like stink on shit, but he's not going to be allowed to participate.

We're done talking TO him, but we're not done talking ABOUT him.

Troy the boy Suxton is a legend?
Right. In his own mind.
He ought to be attacked. With a taser.
Lee handed him his ass over at Cryptic Bullshit and he hasn't been back.
The pussy.

Leave it to you to defend a convicted child beater.
You've got a bad enough reputation without aligning yourself with this whackjob, but you sociopaths have to look out for each other.
That and his father is general manager of one of your advertisers. Don't want to alienate a "paying" customer, I guess.
What are you going to do next? Send Charlie Manson a friend request?

We wouldn't expect any less from you, fatboy.

The Walmart problem can't be as bad as you say if this is all you've got to bitch about.
Shouldn't you be playing canasta with your grandmother?

And you'd rather inform the people of Putnam County?
When's that going to start?
The news, I mean. Not your opinions.

What I Did Last Weekend

Would you like some more tea, Polly Prissy Pants?

Yes, Mark, I would love some tea. Thank you.

You're very welcome, Polly Prissy Pants. Would you like some tea, Clyde Frog?

Yes, please, Mark. Why are you so cool?

Oh. I don't know, Clyde Frog. I just am.

You are so strong and smart, Mark. Everybody loves you.

Why, thank you, Polly Prissy Pants. How nice of you.

We like ya, Mark. You are the coolest guy in the world. This is tremendous tea.

Why, thank you, Peter Panda. This is Distinctive Earl Grey.

Mark is the best!

Hooray for Mark!

Mark kicks ass!

My goodness, that's a lovely dress you are wearing, Polly Prissy Pants.

Oh, thank you, Mark. You are a perfect gentleman, and you are smart and true.

Yes, Mark, you are strong and smart and true. Everybody likes you very much.

That's niiice, Peter Panda. More tea, Rumpertumskin?

Yes, please, Mark, you are tough and handsome.

Thank you, Rumpertumskin. And what do you think about me, Clyde Frog?

I think you're a big fat piece of crap.



So does Putnam County.

We'll just call bullshit on this one as well.
Who the hell would want to eat dinner with you?
All of the drooling, lip smacking and finger licking would be enough to make a person puke.
How many people does your trough seat, meathead?

And who under the age of 75 plays canasta?
When's the shuffleboard tournament?

Serial Plagiarist Still at Large - NOW UPDATED WITH MORE LIES

Halburn took a 6 day vacation last August and went to the Hillbilly Riveria, Myrtle Beach SC. He claims to have only spent 2 days there.

He also claimed to have gone to Jacksonville Florida, which PutnamEYES.com is calling bullshit on right now.
This was at the same time he was emailing girlofwords from a Best Buy in Myrtle Beach posing as Rich Chrampanis.

On Saturday August 15 he wrote:
"I was in Jacksonville, Florida, shooting photos for an upcoming travel feature. You will see it someday in our Your Travel section."

Jacksonville is a 6 1/2 hour drive from Myrtle Beach. Who takes a day trip that takes 6 1/2 hours one way while on vacation?
What kind of a "man" abandons his family to go "take photos" for a blog article?
Well, someday came in December in the "Your Travel - Jacksonville, Florida" section. And we see it all right. We see an article of less than 500 words that took 4 months to write. We also see a lot of nice photos.
Unfortunately for you Halburn, YOU TOOK NONE OF THEM. NOT ONE. Every single photo is stolen. YOU stole all of them.

When Halburn writes:

"Historians report that Don Pedro Menéndez de Avilés first came ashore in what is now known as St. Augustine on September 8th, 1565. Aviles and his expedition celebrated Mass. Though they didn't know it then, their worship started the first permanently settled city and its first Catholic parish in the United States.

Throughout the years of political turnover, the parish church was burned to the ground several times. However, in 1797, a new parish church was constructed on the corner of St. George and Treasury streets facing the plaza – where it stands today."

it was plagiarized verbatim (that means word for word, Halburn) from:

Hello Jacksonville.com

That's 25% of the entire article.

Even the picture of the Basilica is stolen. SHAME!
You're going straight to hell, fatboy.

You're not kidding anybody, shitheel. You went to Google and got found some Jacksonville pictures and then went to the sites and stole them.

Like these from Adventure Landing, which, by the way, is in Jacksonville Beach not Jacksonville. You would have known that had you actually gone there.

http://www.insideflorida.com/detail/adventure-landing/

Once again proving that even so-called "original" material on your site cannot be trusted.
Why any advertiser would want to be associated with this type of behavior is a mystery.

You're a hack and a thief and you're not very good at either.

And it's obvious that these accusations are correct since you have no response to them. Your silence speaks volumes.

But, as the old saying goes, Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

UPDATE:

Halburn continues to lie in his latest slobber filled rant:

"...falsely accusing me of writing a less than 500 word travel article about Jacksonville. They can't count. The article is well over 500 words, and the photos that they claim were stolen were used by permission. But the blog does use the word "Lies" in its name, so at least it is correct about its constant attacks and lack of truthfulness."

Well over 500 words? Maybe now.
Because after we published the above article exposing his latest plagiarism, he changed the article.
Glad to see though that you agree that the lies we are writing about are yours.

Here's the original. Cached on January 3, 2010.
Don't just take our word for it. Look for yourself. Copy the text. Paste it into your word processor. Do a word count.
You'll find, as we did, 461 words.

Once again lard lad, you have proven yourself to be a unethical, dishonest piece of shit.

UPDATE 1/19:

The original photographer confirms Halburn stole the Adventure Landing photos.

The Worst Person In The World

Today's winner loser, is Mark Halburn, so called publisher of a cluttered internet advertising shopper in Putnam County. A news blog that is so desperate for original content that the publisher pleads for his readers to send him articles and pictures about their businesses, which he will then run.
Strangely enough, there are no takers. Apparently businesses will not even accept free advertising on his site. Either that or there's no one actually reading the site to take him up on the offer.
And then, if he can't get contributions, he steals them.

Halburn likes to brag about his multitudes of readers.
We never claimed that we draw more readers than him.
And you know what? We don't give a shit.

Does it kill you how little I care about Web site stats?
I do this because I like it. Not because I’m trying to prove something. Not because I need traffic. Not because I have some need to prove relevance to anybody. I have plenty of it on my own.
Sadly, sometime a couple of decades ago, America stopped worrying about the quality of things, and started being concerned only about how many of them were sold.

But you know what? 800 billion flies can’t be wrong.

But it is curious, isn’t it, that Halburn branded us a “trash blog” and yet instead of trying to refute even one of the things we’ve quoted him as saying or doing, he instead turned to bragging about how many "readers" he has. That’s probably because the only things we’ve “smeared” Halburn with were his own words.

To borrow a phrase—when you’re as guilty as he is, change the subject.

There's another old saying, If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table.

And that, ladies and gentlemen is exactly what Mark Halburn does. He pounds the table.

Excessive noise, incompetent politicians, develop the neighborhood, cut me a check, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He latches on to one thing and beats it like a dead horse to the exclusion of everything else.

For all of this, PutnamLIES.com names Mark Halburn every day's "Worst Person in the World"!

LIAR! Halburn Now Denies Leaving Hawaii Comment

Here's the comment. 

Here's what he says now:

"My critics on the trash Internet blogs continue to rant and publish a story that says I am in Hawaii. I wish I was the case. It's funny how these liars make up trash as they go."



The question clearly is, do you deny making the previous comment? Or are you having second thoughts?
Apparently you cannot take the heat.

You are the case, shithead. The nut case.
You can't make this shit up.

UPDATE:
Asshole even tried to leave the following comment on girlofwords.com:
So he admitted he said it. Now he's denying it. Next thing you know he'll be publishing a story on his trip. This guy is crazier than a pet coon.

UPDATE #2:
Apparently Harry Stamper and I were both correct on the Hawaii Five-O speculation.



I guess wishes CAN come true.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From Putnam County's Biggest Baby!



I think I just pooped in my diaper.
