I blame Bush for everything. And until he gets a blowjob from a portly practitioner of the oral arts not named Jeff Gannon James Guckert, I will continue to blame him for everything.


He is, after all, head of the federal government and despite his numerous protestations to the contrary, the buck does stop with him.

So, I infer from this that Leo does something quite special for you, and that you sooo wanna do him. I'm sure the thought of being a homewrecker is the only thing holding you back.

I, on the other hand, have no such compunctions. Yeah, I confess - arguing with Leo gives me a boner. I wouldn't hesitate to act on my hot-headed hot desires if he ever deigns to let us know when he's going to be at Disneyland again - - but I would sorta expect the boxer reaction rather than the one I anticipate getting from GD this weekend.

Maybe people should stop pointing fingers and instead do something to help the families of the victims with all that pent-up energy. If they're the dependents of coal miners, they can't have it too great in the first place, and now that support is gone.

According to the Emergency Disaster Database, on 23 September 2001 there was an explosion at the Blue Creek No. 5 coal mine in Alabama which killed 13 people (obvious lesson from combining that event and this: never allow 13 people into a mine at the same time).

That is the only other mining incident listed in the database since 1990. Combined, these two incidents are as deadly as an explosion at a chicken processing plant in Hamlet, North Carolina, in September 1991 which killed 25 people (obvious lesson from that event is that terrorists are chicken).



Me, until I'm given specific reason to think otherwise I generally start on the assumption that if you wait long enough, **** will happen. After the fact there will always be somebody to blame for that **** that happened, but that doesn't always mean that the **** was avoidable.

I've paid zero attention to the specifics of this situation (because, frankly, I don't really care about a mining accident in West Virginia). I'm sure someone was to blame, I'm sure they will be sued (as well as many people with money that aren't particularly to blame) and that the memo from Bush to Cheney that says "kill the mother****ing miners" will mysteriously disappear.

:blush:

While I don't think I'd punch you, my wife would kick your butt. She'd probably kick NA's butt, too, but it'd be funnier to watch her kick yours.

The mining company has already set up a fund for the family's and made an initial $2 million donation.

I watched this all happen live on three channels CNN, Fox and MSNBC and I have to say the Media is at least partially responsible for propagating the rumors. They were reporting as facts things that weren't verified. They started out reporting that it was "rumored" 12 were alive and after about 20 minutes the rumor part was out and they were reporting it as fact. And quoting another unconfirmed report from another news source isn't verification of anything.

It's all horrible but the media presence all standing around live for 4 hours with nothing really to say didn't help at all. When the one ambulance came out and then nothing for hours you knew something was horribly wrong. And some of the "facts" they were reporting like the survivors would be taken to the church simply made no sense, in these kinds of situations they always take people to the hospital to check them out first. It was just one gigantic mess.
