Okay, I'm movin' there. But if my rabbit ears can't pull in Housewives of New Jersey, I'm suin'.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Amazing. When that “Housewives” show comes on, I get headaches and muscle twitching.

[trumandogz]

A ten foot by ten foot room with no windows and rubber walls should so the trick.

[Recon Dad]

Move to West Virginia and you won’t even know when the world ends.

Back in Iowa, Schou lived solely in an insulated living space known as a Faraday Cage.

There's no place like ohm.

Actually, it might be a good opportunity to test the theory that these various waves affect honeybees.

[Doulos1]

Yea, and that is why I love living here.

Isn’t it curious that only the tiny amount of energy from WI-FI and cell phones causes the problem but all the other sources of EMF, RF, solar radiation and even magnetic fields from mineral deposits are ignored.

[TSgt]

You got that right.

[Moltke]

Her husband built the cage for her as a form of protection from the radiation.

Actually, I think the husband built the cage as a form of protecting himself from his wife.

Any chance there might be a Conservative GOP governor in your future?

I saw that doc last month. Hilarious and sad at the same time. But WV is not alone. There are families like that in every state in the union.

Wi-Fi refugees have found a hideout from wireless technology in the mountains of Green Bank, West Virginia according to Discover Magazine. This area is part of the U.S. Radio Quiet Zone, where wireless technologies are banned for 13,000 square miles due to the number of radio telescopes in the area that can’t be exposed to electromagnetic interference. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the U.S. military both own telescopes in this area.

Now, don't those radio telescopes emit something?

Because of Obama’s down numbers he may pull the whole ticket down even in W.Va. The Republican candidate running in a special election for governor is only behind by 6 points in poll taken by a democrat leaning pollster. I think it is closer than that. Having said that, when a state such as ours who has a greater 2:1 margin ‘Dims’ to Repubs that is a good sign with our southern counties an 8:1 registration. Those are significant numbers to overcome. Our state is changing from blue to red ever so slowly. Bush won this state twice and even the sorry McLame won this state. But locally we have the Democrat “slates” that still run corrupt precincts.
We are changing slowly but too slow for me. The Democrats have redefined themselves as true socialist but these Dems’ in our state a very slow to recognize it. It’s a family tradition to register to vote as a Democrat without even knowing the national platform is pure socialist/communist/marxist. If you notice Joe Manchin our new senator sounds more like a Rep. than a Dim. He is trying to stay on the fence but he will have to choose sides eventually.
God help us all if we don’t remove Obama and his comrades in 2012. God bless you.

Algore will hunt them down and make sure they get wired courtesy the USF fee he got added to everyone’s phone bill.

I know. You just couldn't... resist.

[WVNan]

You nailed it neighbor. We (Tea Party) are working on this every day. Go Malone.

[WVNan]

Are they sure its the Wi-Fi that 's the reason people are escaping to WV?

From Greenbay WV

What Zero is doing to the coal industry should be all that’s needed to change opinions and votes in Mountaineer country. If it does not happen now it never will, good luck.
