Blogging from deep in the heart of the Coal Region of Pennsylvania with pride. Sometimes.
An attempt to have a voice in a world filled with noise. With an echo.
Here is how I’d like someone else to describe this website.
This site fills a void in many people’s lives. It brings humor along with analysis of today’s most amazing and newsworthy events. Coal Speaker delves deep into important topics that shape our everyday lives. Coal Speaker sports a thick tin foil hat in order to continue keeping sane, and is in the process of building a thick concrete bunker to get ready for the impending alien strike on the planet Earth, or the kill shot solar flare, whichever comes first.
Professional by day.. news vampire by night, father, brother, uncle, friend, observer, thinker.
Born in Centralia during the peak of the sulfurous mine fire.. hopes are never extinguished ..
The greatest photo ever taken… filled with the warmth of love on a chilly night:
“There are no accidents in my philosophy. Every effect must have its cause. The past is the cause of the present, and the present will be the cause of the future. All these are links in the endless chain stretching from the finite to the infinite” -Abraham Lincoln
“I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed” —Abraham Lincoln
“And if you’re bored it’s because you’re boring.” —Matt Drudge
“Was anything real?” — Truman Burbank
