Four More Years?

Whatever It Takes
PutnamLIES.com Celebrates Another Birthday

2013 marks four years since we decided psychopublisher Mark Halburn wasn't going to be able to continue to give people shit without someone responding. He is through being able to abuse West Virginia's citizens, government officials and anyone else that disagrees with him without a response from us.  
Our mission when we started PutnamLIES.com was to expose the lies, hypocrisy and unethical behavior of "publisher" Mark Hallburn and his shitty opinion blog PutnumLive.com.
And we have succeeded.  
We are THE outlet for people to answer the scurrilous charges that he makes. He has discovered that it's not so fun when the sandal is on the other foot.

It was a BIG year for PutnamLIES.com. Hallburn continued his self-inflicted long slow slide into oblivion and insanity. He's done for, he just won't accept it yet.

The past year wasn't a good one for him. He was hammered in his divorce. He got absolutely nothing, getting even LESS visitation than before, due to his irrational behavior. He was arrested twice, convicted once, jailed once and has more jail time hanging over his head.

So, let's have a look at what has happened since PutnamLIES.com's last birthday .

Continues To Attack Judge Kelly 
In his on-going attempt to gain more than 7% custody, Halburn continued his attacks against Judge Mike Kelly.  Why he thought harassing the judge that controlled the fate of his visitation rights was a good idea is beyond us.

Stalks & Harasses Governor 
Over the Labor Day holiday, Halburn drove 60 miles, one way, from Putnam County to the UMWA's Labor Day Picnic in Racine WV, to harass Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and shout questions at him.

Thrown Out Of Parenting Class At The Courthouse

As part of his divorce process, Halburn was ordered to take part in a parenting class at the Putnam County Courthouse. When Judge Mike Kelly appeared in a video the class was watching, Halburn became enraged and began shouting. Hilarity ensued. 

Halburn Arrested Again!

After losing his unemployment benefits in August, which he collected all summer even though he was working at a Myrtle Beach pier, Halburn made continued, repeated harassing phone calls to the Unemployment Office. After a divorce hearing in October, he was arrested for telephone harassment.

Buddies Up To Child Molester

As election season heated up, a sweaty, slovenly Halburn showed up at a meet and greet for WV Supreme Court candidates with a registered sex offender, going so far as to be photographed smiling next to him. We would find out later the full extent of Halburn's involvement with this reprobate.

Gets Very Public Ass Chewing
One evening in October, Walmart shoppers were disturbed by some excessive noise. The source this time? Halburn's second ex-wife was giving him a verbal ass reaming for associating with the above pervert.

Couldn't Keep A Job In Myrtle Beach Either

After failing at his job at the Apache Pier in Myrtle Beach, where he worked the bait counter and arcade change window for less than six months, in November Halburn moved out of his HUD trailer and returned to West Virginia, like an unwanted venereal disease. Turns out the people of South Carolina hate him too.

Election Ad Deception

Halburn douched up this year's election by once again running ads on his opinion blog for candidates that were neither authorized by nor paid for by their campaigns, going so far as to make up fictitious groups to "sponsor" the ads, a blatant violation of WV election law. None of the candidates or their supporters wanted ANYTHING to do with Hallburn or his blog. 

Threatens Judge Kelly Again

As part of his petulant frenzy, Halburn threatened to stalk Judge Kelly at the next election and picket his house on Christmas day. He also admitted contacting some of Kelly's neighbors.

Demands Court Resurrect His Dead Mother

In one of his most irrational and bizarre actions, Halburn demanded that the court bring his dead mother back to life. He then used her to attack Judge Kelly and the courts. We're sure the late Mrs. Halburn would not approve.

Posts Shocking Confession
As if his demand that his dead mother be brought back to life wasn't bizarre enough, the end of the year brought Halburn's most disturbing admission to date. He admitted he lived with a child molester for weeks before he moved into his Dunbar apartment. And that the molester was a "good man."
After posting that love letter on Facebook, it remained there for almost a week, when Halburn then deleted it saying he had been hacked. The truth is that the repercussions were just too much for him to handle. Rumor has it that this was one of the things that got him suspended the first time from his substitute teaching job in Kanawha County. It's certainly not something a responsible father seeking more custody of his son would do. 

Moves into Garage Apartment In Dunbar 
After his stay with the child molester was over, Halburn found a shitty little garage apartment in Dunbar. 

Harassment Of Judicial System Continues

Clutching his new video camera in his pudgy hand, in mid December Halburn descended on the offices of the Judicial Investigative Commission. He demanded they service him and he lurked around the lobby until he was able to follow a staffer to her car, harassing her the entire way. Without the intercession of a Judicial security officer, who knows what mayhem could have ensued? The last minute of the video shows her terrified reaction.

Makes Veiled School Threat
Halburn ends the year with yet another crazed screed. He uses the Newtown school shooting to blame the family court system in his ongoing custody battle with his second ex-wife. By the end of the article, he's making veiled threats. 

The Divorce Is Final

In January, 14 months after his second ex-wife filed for divorce, the final order in the case was issued. Unfortunately for Halburn, he got nothing. No settlement and LESS custody.  What he did get was a $631/month child support bill and a court order to pay almost $10,000 to the ex for running up her legal bills unnecessarily.
Halburn immediately filed an appeal to Circuit Court.
You can read a full copy of the order here .

 
Spot The Halburn Feature Started
PutnamLIES.com's readers send us pictures of their Halburn sightings so we decided to start a photo page entitled "Spot The Halburn." It contains many of the reader submitted photos. It is one of our most popular pages. 

Fired from Kanawha County Schools
As a result of his behavior and concerned parents contacting the school board, Halburn was investigated and suspended twice last year before being shown the door as a substitute teacher in Kanawha County.

Cops A Plea
At the beginning of March, Halburn avoided an embarrassing trial in Kanawha County for his October 2012 telephone harassment arrest by agreeing to a 6 month pre-trial diversion. Basically probation. All charges are still pending until completion of the 6 month period. As part of that agreement, Halburn agreed not to violate any Federal, state or local law. PutnamLIES.com predicted at the time he wouldn't make it 6 months. It only took him one.

Health Department Arrest

In April, Halburn was arrested at the Putnam County Health Department after repeatedly calling the administrator and being warned two weeks previously not to step foot on the property. He didn't heed the warning, returned and was arrested.

Divorce Appeal Heard
In May, Halburn's appeal was heard in Putnam County Circuit Court. Unfortunately for him, Halburn lost on all counts except his visitation was modified to what it was before. Every other weekend and Wednesday evenings. Plus he CAN take the boy out of state but not overnight.
He still owes almost $10,000 to his second ex-wife.
Halburn then immediately appealed to the WV Supreme Court and began a harassment campaign of the justices there.
He's all giddy like a little girl now because the Court "accepted" his case.
What Halburn doesn't realize is that EVERY case that is filed gets a docket number. Every case gets a full review, but very few get accepted for an oral argument. There probably won't be a final decision until 2014. PutnamLIES.com's prediction? He won't get shit. Again.

Kelly Suit

As he worked himself into a froth over the divorce mess that he generated, Halburn filed yet another frivolous lawsuit in May, this time against Kanawha County Family Court Judge Mike Kelly. Once more, irrational requests were the order of the day.
Calling judges "sub-human excrement," Halburn demanded punitive damages, Kelly's removal from the bench, a court order for Kelly to revive Halburn's dead mother, and for Kelly to pay for a final visit. Halburn also demanded the Kanawha County Family Court complex be named after his mother. and large portrait of her be hung in the lobby and in every courtroom.
That suit was dismissed in July.

Publisher Finds New Job-Loses New Job
In June Halburn got a part time job at the Barboursville Target pushing around carts on their parking lot and cleaning the shitters in the store. Apparently this was the only job that this 51 year old loser could find. And if reports are true, he only lasted about two months before being fired.

Fatboy Flies to California

In July, the guy who refuses to pay his second ex-wife the court ordered money he owes her had enough scratch to fly to California for a week's vacation, rental car, trip to Disneyland and attend his niece's wedding.

Found Guilty-Gets 45 Days
Two days after he returned from his little vacation, Halburn stood trial in Putnam County Magistrate Court for his April arrest at the Health Department. After it was all said and done, Halburn was found guilty and sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Jailed For Contempt

Less than a week after Halburn was convicted in Putnam County,  a contempt hearing was held in Kanawha County over his refusal to pay the money the court ordered him to pay his second ex-wife as part of the divorce settlement. The hearing didn't go so well for old Marky. After it was over, he was taken to the South Central Regional Jail and jailed on the contempt charge. He then spent the next 24 hours behind bars desperately trying to find a sucker to bail him out because he couldn't come up with the $250 to do it himself.

We bet the motherfucker pays that money now. 

Pre-Trial Diversion Revocation Hearing

Halburn still faces the revocation of his pre-trial diversion agreement in an August 19 hearing in Kanawha County. He could receive a $500 fine and 6 months in jail on the still pending telephone harassment charges. After 2 arrests in 3 months he may very get both. 

Form Letters From Politicians

Halburn continues his pathetic practice of running press releases from politicians promoting their agendas and running other people's Facebook comments as letters. He also resumed his practice of making up letters and signing fictional names to them, usually supporting his jihad against the WV judicial system.

Continues Running "News" Stories About "Advertisers"

Halburn continues his unethical practice of running fawning stories about his so-called advertisers under the guise of news. Or, just as bad, running stories about new businesses in hopes of pressuring them to advertise with him.
We continue to put Halburn, all his "advertisers" and anyone else he promotes, on notice. We are going to parody and belittle all of you. If you're a business and you don't want it done, don't associate with Hallburn. If your ad appears on his blog, you're fair game. He is a boil on the ass of civilized society and we're here to lance it.

So in summary, his baseless attacks and bullying have slowed slightly, except now he has picked new targets.

His theft of other photographers' work has dried up as has his serial plagiarism.

His PutnumLive blog also continues to decline:

His readership numbers, which were greatly exaggerated in the first place, are WAY down, many advertisers have left and more businesses are turning down his demands that they advertise with him.

He's made several weak attempts to defend himself here, only he tried to do it anonymously. He didn't even have the balls to sign his own name. And even though he reads us every day, he has never once offered any defense for his actions or complained of any inaccuracies in our reporting.
Which says a lot. It's hard to defend yourself against the truth.

PutnamLIES.com, has forced Halburn to cut way back on his assholery. Oh, he's still douching up the state, but he knows that PutnamLIES.com will be all over any misstep that he makes.

Our mission all along has been to force him to act in a more civilized manner. Before he started getting pounded from all sides he would attack anyone for any reason without repercussions. Those days are now gone for good.

PutnamLIES.com will answer any attack that Halburn makes. And now his output shows it. Well over half of his "articles" last year were nothing more than news releases reprinted word for word from various outlets or copies of other peoples Facebook posts.

PutnamLIES.com has become the number one resource for people seeking the truth about Halburn. When a business where he has showed his ass or harassed employees wants to find out just who this Mark Halburn guy really is, they come here.

Whenever a future employer Googles his name, they'll be able to find this site and see the truth about him.

Someday, and that day is not too far away, a little boy will be able to see just what kind of asshole his daddy really is and how the two faced sociopath has treated his Mommy.

The internet is forever. This site and the information on it will follow Halburn around until the day he dies. Which cannot come soon enough.

We'd also like to thank all our loyal readers, correspondents and the other members of the Trash Bloggers Alliance: Girl of Words, Tyler Hollywood, Lee, Lenny, Tybois and our thousands of other readers and contributors. We couldn't do what we do without help and input from them.

What does 2014 hold? Only Halburn's continued presence here and his behavior can determine that.
The chickens are coming home to roost for Mark Vance Halburn. It is entirely possible that by this time next year he will either be in jail or have served jail terms for at least two different charges in two different counties.

Our work here is not done.
We are not going away. PutnamLIES.com will be here one day longer than Hallburn and his cluttered opinion blog.

We invite everyone who is sick of Halburn's abuse to continue to contact PutnamLIES.com.

Leave now, fatboy. Shut down your blog, go back to California and leave the good people of West Virginia alone. It will only get worse for you here.
We're always watching you, Halburn. The all seeing eye never blinks.

If we've forgotten anything, please submit it to PutnamLIES.com@gmail.com and we will consider it for publication.

Did You Think We Forgot?

Aging Bully Running Out of Time

Halburn has been fishing for birthday greetings all day.
We've got one for him.

51 years with absolutely nothing to show for it.
No house.

No wife.

No family.

No job.

No retirement.
No future.

Here's your cake, motherfucker. Eat it and die.

Oh yeah, the boy sends his greetings too.

Now We Are Three!

Happy Birthday To Us


Now it's been three years since we decided we'd had enough of Mark Halburn's shit. He can no longer abuse Putnam County's citizens, government officials or anyone else that disagrees with him without a response.Our mission when we started PutnamLIES.com was to expose the lies, hypocrisy and unethical behavior of PutnumLive and its "publisher" Mark Hallburn.
And we have succeeded. We are THE outlet for people to answer the scurrilous charges that he makes. He has discovered that it's not so fun when the sandal is on the other foot.

It was a BIG year for PutnamLIES.com and Hallburn continued his long slow slide into oblivion.
We usually look at all the stories from last year but there's really only one big story (with a bunch of smaller related ones) we're going to talk about and you all know what it is.

Mark Halburn ran away in defeat!
Defeated by a woman and PutnamLIES.com.
He couldn't take the heat or embarrassment.

Wife Files For Divorce
In November, Halburn's long-suffering wife filed for divorce against him. Whether it was him losing yet another job, the parks ban, his videoed behavior at his son's doctors office or just an accumulation of his assholery over the years, Mrs. Halburn clearly had enough.
Halburn decided to make the big announcement on Topix, his favorite hangout. Oddly enough, he never announced it on his opinion blog or on his Facebook page.

Left West Virginia
As part of that announcement he said he would sell PutnumLive and move. We knew the sale announcement was bullshit. How he can sell something that's worth nothing?
He moved but he's still publishing his shitty little blog from South Carolina.

Of course, he said he was moving at least three times last year. In June 2011 he said he sold his blog for "six figures" and bought his family an ocean-front condo in North Myrtle Beach. Then in August of 2011 he said he hit the Powerball and was buying an island home. And in January of this year, he said he moved to a condo in The Lodge development on a golf course in Myrtle Beach. He claimed to have sold his blog and is being paid to manage it for 24 months. We all know Halburn couldn't even manage a good bowel movement.

What actually happened was, at the beginning of last March, his wife threw him out of her house.

With the snow falling, Halburn packed up his pathetic belongings into a puny U-Haul van, tucked his tail between his legs and slunk out of town in the dead of night.

The new reality for Mark Halburn is that he lives in a HUD trailer 50 miles from the beach and he works a part time job at a pier waiting tables and selling bait.

Attacks Judge Michael Kelly
Just before he married his second wife, Halburn forced her and her mother to file for bankruptcy. Putnam County Family Court Judge William Watkins represented the two women in those hearings. Because of that, Watkins recused himself from Halburn's divorce proceedings. The case was them assigned to Kanawha County Family Court Judge Michael Kelly.
Kelly does not put up with anyone's shit and immediately put an end to Halburn's intimidation tactics. Halburn then began attacking Kelly on Topix where he called him a piece of shit among other names and began impugning his integrity.
In February, Judge Kelly signed a temporary child custody order stating who gets the son and when he is to be picked up and returned. Part of that order prevents Halburn from taking the kid out of state. The Judge recognized that Halburn is a risk to take the child and disappear.

On the evening of March 27, after he had already been fired from one job, Halburn arrived a day early to pick up the kid and Delores rightly wouldn't let him have him until the the evening of the 28th which was the time ordered by the court.
Halburn then left the house and went to McDonalds and called the police to try and get them to help him get the kid. They laughed at him and told him to pound sand.

In May, Halburn filed a 5 page handwritten motion with random CAPITAL letters and $10 million in demands. Some of the AWESOME highlights include: Since Halburn is banned from taking the kid out of state, he demands that the State of West Virginia build a zoo near Charleston by 5 pm April 22, 2012 AND bring the Atlantic Ocean to Charleston. He demands Kelly's impeachment and demands that Kelly and Delores' attorney, Henry Glass, pay for a trip to the beach for the boyand his entire pre-K class, since he missed spring break with the boy. He repeatedly whined that he didn't want the divorce and he should get $50,000 from the sale of the wife's house, and cried that she is holding his 50 inch HDTV hostage, which is IN HIS BUSINESS' NAME.

5 pages of single spaced awesome. Oh yeah, he also wished death or commitment in a mental institution upon Judge Kelly.

At the end of May, he filed what he called a "Rite of Prohibition" against the wife, Kelly and her lawyer. That motion was denied.

Halburn is now complaining that Kelly refused to let him take her son to see his grandmother in California (who has since kicked the bucket). Ignoring the fact that the little boy is 4 years old and Halburn never bothered to take to take him for a visit until now. The boy has become just another pawn in Halburn's continuing vendettas with those whom he disagrees.

He called the director of family court services one morning at 9:55 and demanded Chief Justice Menis Ketchum be removed by 10 am. He was informed that she didn't have that kind of power.

He has been harassing people at the WV Supreme Court repeatedly. He even managed to harass individual justices via cell phone and even their home phones.
After filing endless trivial "emergency motions" he was ordered to cease contact with the court.
Halburn was previously banned from the Supreme Court for making threats against employees there.

Attacked William Watkins
As part of his Family Court vendetta and with the help of his toady Lawrence Jay Smith, Halburn published the address and photo of Judge William Watkins endangering Watkins' and his family's safety. Watkins' house and cars have been vandalized numerous times since then.

Halburn continues to harass Watkins via telephone.

And PutnumLive also continues to decline:
Continues to Falsify His Readership Stats
Halburn continues with his "setting new records for readership" bullshit, but PutnamEYES.com's IT expert showed over a year ago how Hallburn inflates his hit counter by loading almost 100 different links on every pageload, thereby artificially inflating the actual visitors by a factor of 100. We proved his actual daily readership was about 29 readers. Halburn knows his numbers are a fraud too. He continues to defraud his "advertisers" with these false claims.

Halburn "apologizes" for being an asshole
As part of a desperate last ditch effort to keep his wife from getting rid of him, Halburn swallowed his pride and made a weak attempt at an apology for his past misdeeds by burying it as one of his Letters to the Editor. As we all know Mark Hallburn has never apologized for anything. He does nothing unless it benefits him. This was no different.
Too little, too late.

Form Letters From Politicians
Halburn continued his pathetic practice of running press releases from politicians promoting their agendas and running other people's Facebook comments as letters to the editor.

Now Printing Only News Releases
It's not like he ever had much real original content, but virtually all the "stories" he runs now are news releases from various government agencies or arrest reports sent to him by the Sheriff's office.

Halburn NOT Arrested This Year Immediately upon his relocation to South Carolina, police agencies here began receiving inquiries from agencies there about him. And he also ran away in time so that he didn't get arrested when he made the big stink at his 2nd ex-wife's house over picking up his son. But, there are still four months left in the year.

We believe that PutnamLIES.com's coverage of his antics have deterred him from behaving in a way that would get him arrested and make him subject to more ridicule here.

So in summary, Halburn has been forced to move out of state.
His baseless attacks and bullying have been slowed. He has not even made an attempt to defend himself here. Oh, he reads us every day, but he only left one comment last year, and he didn't even have the balls to sign his own name, he tried to do it anonymously. And all he did then was call Joe Haynes and Scott Williamson names. He not once offered any defense for his actions.
Which says a lot. It's hard to defend yourself against the truth.

There was a decrease in articles here at PutnamLIES.com, but that's O.K.
It's because we've forced Halburn to cut way back on his assholery. Oh, he's still a douchebag, but now he's South Carolina's douchebag and he knows that putnamlies.com will be all over any misstep that he makes here or there.

Our mission all along has been to expose his behavior and force him to act in a more civilized manner. Before he started getting pounded from all sides he was free to attack anyone for any reason without repercussions. Not anymore. PutnamLIES.com has answered any attack that Halburn makes. And now his output shows it. Who would have thought that Halburn would be apologizing to anyone for anything?

This site has become the number one resource for people seeking the truth about Halburn. When Modern Woodmen, Strayer University , the University of Phoenix, Comfort Inns, Trader Joe's, Pressley Ridge, AEP or the State of South Carolina want to find out just who this Mark Halburn guy really is, they come here.
Whenever a future employer Googles his name, they'll be able to find this site and see the truth about him. If you Google the word Halburn, the number one search result is for his mental evaluation.

Someday, and that day is not too far away, a little boy will be able to see just what kind of asshole his daddy really is. Halburn has already turned him into a pawn in his divorce.

The internet is forever. This site and the information on it will follow Mark Halburn around until the day he dies.

We invite everyone who has witnessed Halburn's abuse to continue to contact PutnamLIES.com.

We're still watching you, Hallburn.
The all seeing eye never blinks.

What's in store for the next year? Only Halburn's behavior can determine that.
But one thing is for sure, PutnamLIES.com will be here one day longer than Hallburn and his cluttered opinion blog.
 
If we've forgotten anything, please submit it to PutnamLIES.com@gmail.com and we will consider it for publication.

Happy Birthday to Jacque Jo!

It's your birthday today.
That word I'll pass.
I hate you because
you kicked my ass.

My wife divorced me.
It's all your fault.
I'm lucky I'm not
in jail for assault.

I'm homeless now.
I'm really down.
Because you
ran me out of town.

I did eat my way all the way through this cake just for you though!!!
I hope there's some left for you.

Mmmmmm. Yummy. Feed me more!

Happy Birthday anyway!

Guess who's 50 Today?

And Not A Thing To Show For It


Hallburn turns 50 today.
What's Marky getting for his birthday?
A BRAND NEW DIVORCE!
A NEW PLACE TO LIVE!

50 is a milestone.
Many people that age are starting to wind down and looking towards retirement.

Not old fatboy.
An average of 2 jobs a year since he started working doesn't put any money into the old retirement account.
He'll have to work until the day he dies. How ironic will it be when the only job he can get is saying "Welcome to Walmart"?



Happy birthday motherfucker.
Hope you don't have many more.

Now pack your bag and get out.

Happy Birthday To Lee!

I got you a present.
Can you guess?
Thanks to you,
I'm now homeless!

Happy Birthday to someone that's made me miserable.

Happy Birthday To Us!

It's been exactly two years now since we decided we'd had enough of Halburn's shit. He can no longer abuse with impunity Putnam County's citizens, government officials or anyone else that disagrees with him. Our mission when we started PutnamLIES.com was to expose the lies, hypocrisy and unethical behavior of PutnumLive and its "publisher" Mark Hallburn.

And that we have done.

We are now THE outlet for people to answer the scurrilous charges that he makes.

He has discovered that it's not so fun when the sandal is on the other foot.

It was a big year for PutnamLIES.com and Hallburn continued his long slow slide into oblivion.

So with that said, let's look at the last year.


Pool Whining Continues

Halburn continued his yearly whining about the pools closing the last week in August due to the lifeguards all going back to school.

Then in the spring, we proved him wrong on the cost of holding the end of season Dog Swim.

And it's coming again, so get ready.


Halburn Strokes Out

In October, the news the world was waiting for was released. Halburn had stroked out.

Unfortunately for everyone it was only Bell's Palsy and he is expected to recover.

But he does have diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea, so there is still hope.


Rezoning Maps

Hallburn's investigative reporting uncovered the double secret zoning change to his second wife's property. Except it wasn't her property.PutnamLIES.com proved his allegations wrong. Again.

Anyone that could read a deed and a map could see that.

Except the dummy.

Calls Karen Haynes "A Bitch"

Last fall Hallburn started douching up the trailer park of the internet, Topix, with his presence. In October he called the tireless Karen Haynes "a bitch" because she is married to Hallburn's imagined nemesis Joe Haynes and because of her tireless work raising funds for a new Putnam County Animal Shelter.

Hallburn, you're not fit to scrape the dogshit off this lady's shoes. 
Fired Again

Shortly thereafter, he lost his insurance job with Woodmen of The World, after an incident where he harassed several people at Buffalo's Octoberfest, while he was there representing the insurance company.

Election Warning
Just before the general election in November, the West Virginia Secretary of State sent a warning to Putnam County officials that Halburn might attempt to create a scene and try to disrupt the electoral process. Due to the proactive efforts of the prosecutor and sheriff's office a potential problem was averted.

Desperation Redesign
Late in the year, in a desperate attempt to attract advertisers and bolster his shrinking readership, Hallburn had his news blog redesigned. Now he has a hit counter so he can falsify the number of imaginary readers that he thinks his site gets. He even let the genius that did the redesign to change his URL from a .com to a far less desirable .net.

MySpace 1994 has become MySpace 2010. The same old shit with a barely new look. Proving once again that you can't polish a turd.

Which led to: 

Hit Counter Proven To Be A Fraud

PutnamLIES.com's IT expert showed how Hallburn inflates his hit counter by loading almost 100 different links on every pageload, thereby artificially inflating the actual visitors by a factor of 100. We proved his actual daily readership was about 29 readers.

Form Letters From Politicians

After being exposed multiple times by PutnamLIES.com for stealing letters to the editor from other sources, Halburn was reduced to running press releases from politicians as letters promoting their agendas and Facebook comments masquerading as letters.

Started Running Coupons

Proving that his blog is truly nothing more than a cluttered advertising shopper, Hallburn started running coupons.

Continues Running "News" Stories About "Advertisers"

He continues his unethical practice of running fawning stories about his so-called advertisers under the guise of news.

We're putting you, your "advertisers" and anyone else you promote on notice, fatboy. We are going to parody and belittle all of you. If you're a business and you don't want it done, don't associate with Hallburn. He is a boil on the ass of civilized society and we're here to lance it.

Election Ad Fiasco

We exposed the fact that ads for both Betty Ireland and Natalie Tennant that Hallburn placed on his blog before the Gubernatorial primary were not authorized and were not paid for by either campaign, despite containing the "Paid For By" disclaimer at the bottom, a clear violation of WV election law.

Both the candidates and their supporters wanted NOTHING to do with Hallburn or his blog. Hallburn was never able to provide any proof that the ads were paid for, a fact which both candidates' financial reports confirmed.

Narrowly Avoids Arrest in Charlotte 
While sponging off his second wife when she was in North Carolina for a Mary Kay pyramid seminar this March, Halburn was involved in pool incidents at at least 2 different hotels. The police were called in the second incident and Hallburn was escorted out of the hotel along with an unnamed minor boy. Shortly after they returned home, his second wife was fired from a teaching job she had held for a number of years, allegedly over her husband's behavior.

Falsifies Own Poll Results

As part of the pathetic "redesign" of his blog, Hallburn added a poll on a sidebar which he loads up with slanted questions. But, Hallburn being Hallburn can't leave anything alone that goes against his preconceived ideas, so he alters the results to make them give the answer he wants. When we called him on it, he went so far as to accuse HIS readers of stacking the poll.

And we end our year with Halburn's latest escapade.

Thrown Out Of Strayer University

In May Halburn was thrown out of Strayer University in Teays Valley where he was attending grad school for a degree in, are you ready for this, Human Relations. Yeah, we got a good laugh out of that too.

But seriously, he went in, caused a big stink, threatened the Dean and was thrown out.

The best part? The Dean is a 4th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. She could have kicked his ass all the way back to California.

PutnamLIES.com was started to do one thing: Expose the lies that Mark Halburn was printing every day on his blog. The LIES we're talking about are his. We've been doing it now for two years, and he still doesn't seem to like it very much.

His advertisers have left and his readership numbers, which were greatly exaggerated in the first place, are WAY down. His endless whining about Walmart declined somewhat, but his Walmart blog is long gone.

He's slipped into utter irrelevance because of us and it kills him.

Now people are asking him about us.

But our job's still not over..
Here at PutnamLIES.com, we promise to continue to report the truth even if some loudmouth douchebag whines and cries about it. He was used to being able to do whatever he wanted without question. PutnamLIES.com will continue to call him on his unethical behavior and illegal practices, even as he continues to stalk Girl of Words and continues to embarrass himself with his bogus vendettas and accusations.

Readership and support for PutnamLIES.com continues to rise. Halburn and PutnumLive continues to embarass themselves.

Anytime a future employer Googles his name, they'll be able to find this site and see the truth about him. In fact the number one Google result for the word Halburn is a page that contains his mental evaluation.

Someday in the not too distant future, a little boy will be able to see just what kind of asshole his daddy really is.

The internet is forever. This site and the information on it will follow Hallburn around until the day he dies. Which can't come soon enough for us.

We'd also like to thank all our loyal readers, our correspondents Harry Stamper and Dolemite and the other members of the Trash Bloggers Alliance: Girl of Words, Tyler Hollywood, Lee, Lenny, Tybois and all the rest. We couldn't do what we do without the help and input of our readers.

Our work here is not done. Our output may have slowed but that's only because we have forced the other publisher to alter the way he does business.

We are not going away.

We'll be all around in the dark. We'll be everywhere.

Wherever you can look; wherever he's smeared someone because they won't submit to his demands - we'll be there. Wherever Hallburn's pickin' on a woman - we'll be there. When he harasses people at their workplace - we'll be there.

And when people laugh and clap their hands when they hear he's leaving, we'll be there, too.



We're watching you, Hallburn. The all seeing eye never blinks.



PutnamLIES.com will be here one day longer than Hallburn and his cluttered opinion blog.

What's in store for the next year? Only Halburn's behavior can determine that.

But, keep watching PutnamLIES.com for a revealing new series of articles.

Happy Birthday to Our Favorite Girl of Words!

I still have that special little birthday "package" for you.
I'd like to deliver it in person but you forgot to send me your new address.

Happy birthday anyway!

Happy Birthday To Me!

I'm so excited! Someone gave me a makeover for my birthday present before my big trip. I feel so pretty!
Things are really happening for her. Soon she'll be at the top of the pyramid and I'll be cruising around town in a pink Cadillac!

The Trash Bloggers Alliance even sent me this swell cake.



Many thanks, guys!

Happy Birthday To Lee!

You showed me up to be a fool.
You really took my ass to school.
I have a really shitty life
When my sole support's my wife.

Happy Birthday to a guy that's been making my life hell.
