Here Comes Marky Cottontail

Hoppin' down the Putnam Trail.



The school where I work needs an Easter basket with lots of candy. Does anyone have one?

Oops, I just laid an egg.
Hey! That's not chocolate!

Happy Easter everyone!!!

Handouts Hallburn is Back!

More Fun With



Hallburn says "I work at a school that needs a working vacuum cleaner".
We guess it must be too hard for him to push a broom.



Have you no shame? You are a cheap, greedy, piece of shit.
Why can't you just admit yours broke down? You should have given some sob story like "Our sweeper broke and my wife got fired because I acted like an asshole on vacation and we can't afford to get the old one fixed ." At least tell the truth.

Schools don't need second hand vacuum cleaners.

We pay taxes for stuff like this.
I mean working people. We know you don't pay anything, Hallburn.

You suck, Halburn.
Why don't you just show up and tell them their new vacuum is here.

4/22 8:06 PM UPDATE:

Now he's begging for filing cabinets. Good god, is there no end to this? If there's one thing schools have no trouble getting it's filing cabinets.



4/23 UPDATE:

Now he wants a chair. What's next? Desks for the kids? Paper? Pencils?
There's a whole warehouse full of this kind of stuff in Crede. I suggest you ask your principal.

Hallburn Now Falsifying Poll Results

Changes Latest Poll's Yes Results To No



Whether it's because he's angry at his second wife for forcing him to move to
West Virginia, his anger for not being able to sell her property at an exorbitant price, or the financial stress he places on his family due to his unwillingness to find a full time job, Hallburn will do anything to make it seem that people are not happy in Putnam County.
In another stinging rebuke of Halburn's inability to report anything honestly, PutnamLIES.com can reveal that he is lying about the poll results in his latest survey.
This snapshot of the poll results was taken at 9 AM on April 1st.


The picture doesn't lie, even when Halburn does. Here it is, for all to see, the posted image of the screen capture.
As you can see from the actual results, respondents think Putnam County's economy is doing just fine by a count of 75% to 25%.

However, Halburn apparently has some kind of psychopathic need to inflate the numbers and report the results as just the opposite. He claims that 90.5 percent of respondents to his poll say they need more jobs, shops, and restaurants. He reports that 9.5 percent said the economy was fine.

That's a big difference in the actual results that PutnamLIES.com saw on April 1st. Where he came up with his numbers is anyone's guess. Only the voices inside his head know for sure.


We know one thing though. Hallburn is willing to do or say anything if he thinks it will make his political enemies look bad or make him look good. He is an immoral charlatan masquerading as a journalist. He will stoop to the lowest, most vulgar, vile and disgusting ploys to deceive the honest, hard-working citizen. He is the lowest form of scum on the face of the earth.

We must disclose that his polls are non-scientific and are placed online for Halburn to mislead his 29 readers about issues in which he has a vested interest or an axe to grind.

The Facts Don't Lie

But Hallburn Does -
Election Chicanery Exposed



Last month Hallburn got busted once again. This time for running campaign ads without the candidates' permission.

He illegally ran unpaid ads for both Natalie Tennant and Betty Ireland's campaigns for the gubernatorial nomination.



PutnamEYES.com said that the truth would come out when the first primary campaign financial reports were released.
And it has.
The truth is that Halburn lied.
Again.
Neither Ireland nor Tennant's reports lists PutnumLive as an expenditure or an in-kind contribution.

The Tennant ad even had the "Paid For by the Elect Natalie Tennant Committee" disclaimer. Which, if it was not a paid ad, is a violation of election law.

Campaign reports must contain all expenses.
An advertiser cannot donate ads to a candidate unless a value is declared and the donation is accepted by the candidate.PutnamEYES.com's prediction came true when Halburn claimed that unnamed supporters of the candidates only paid for the ads through February 28th. He says he doesn't run free advertisements.
Another lie which PutnamEYES.com has disproved.
Even Halburn admitted that he runs free ads. He just can't remember all the lies he's told.


Funny though, when the Secretary of State's Election Fraud Division got involved, the ads disappeared.
Halburn's explanation doesn't hold water. No politician buys an ad for one month, 3 months before an election. Especially to reach Halburn's 29 readers.

Next, he claimed ads were paid for by candidate supporters who plan to run them again when they get funds. He says no one ordered them removed.

Neither of these campaigns are hurting for money. The fact is, neither campaign sees the need for blog advertising.

He claims that political ads run $300 a month. Which is another lie.
Expenditure reports show that they cost anywhere between 25-200 dollars a month, when he decides to charge for them at all.

Some candidates pay nothing. Reports show that Brady Paxton for example, paid zero despite his ad running there for at least a month.
A Dale Martin ad that appeared before the general election in November apparently ran for free as well. It does not appear in any of his expenditures.

Both ads contained the "paid for" disclaimer.

Here are the numbers for the 2010 election cycle:

Brady Paxton
No expenditures since 11/5/08

Dale Martin
5/24/10 - ad - $100

Cathy Larck
4/25/10 - monthly ad - $125
5/11/10 - monthly ad - $125
11/14/10 - monthly ad - $175

Justin Black
5/7/10 - Advertisement - $100

Marge Carpenter
3/31/2010 - Advertising - $200
4/25/10 - Advertising - $25
5/3/10 - Advertising - $200

Debra Girimont
6/13/09 - ad test - $150

Additionally, in the 2008 Supreme Court race, Halburn ran an ad for now Justice Menis Ketchum that didn't appear on Ketchum's expenditures. Again containing the "paid for" disclaimer.

The candidates for county offices, Debbie Phillips, W.D. Arthur, William Legg & Kathie Crouse, are not required to file reports , so we can't tell if any of those candidates actually paid for their ads.

So, the bottom line here is that Halburn ran the Ireland and Tennant ads completely unsanctioned, without any permission or compensation from the campaigns.

Illegal?
Probably.
Unethical?
Certainly.
Neither is new for Mark Hallburn.


The sad thing about this whole episode is that both candidates knew these ads were running there but took no steps to have them removed. If neither of these two women weren't willing to stand up to a bully like Halburn, how are they going to stand up for the people of West Virginia on the really tough issues that face our state?

ANY politician that advertises with PutnumLive.com is not fit to hold office.
