Bellringer 1/13/14

I'm a little disappointed by the representation of West Virginia in this article and the comments. I feel like the people that get the chance to represent WV nationally or in any other instance is always just poor. The article does accurately show about the chemical spill, and then all the comment-ers take advantage of how the spill just happened to be in "uneducated and poor" West Virginia.

1. I think they'll be able to. They'll make sure everything is in working order since the nation has been working hard to prepare Sochi for the Winter Olympics.

2. I wouldn't like to visit any part of Russia.
