LarryNobody @ 5,

I believe you are slightly mistaken about these investigations. I believe the investigations into what Shrub had for breakfast and the size of Gonzo’s stool are one in the same.

Burp.

Your name says it all.

The people that work the mine every day are the proper people to take the lead in such specialized work.

So, you actually think Murray “works” his mine? What a maroon!

Pair the monster depicted in the article (go to link) with the cr*p now running MSHA and you get… the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster. The fact that these pieces of shite are in any way in control of other human lives is nothing short of incredible!

For a taste:

“Shouting at a table full of MSHA officials at their district office in Morgantown, W.Va., Murray said: “Mitch McConnell calls me one of the five finest men in America, and the last I checked, he was sleeping with your boss,” according to notes of the meeting. “They,” Murray added, pointing at two MSHA men, “are gone.”"

Although Murry denied the quote, it came from the MEETING NOTES! Jack@ss! As an aside, my dad worked for MSHA in the 80’s. Now I understand why he used to come home furious and frustrated!

I think we need a hearing as to why not one politician knows how to spend less that they bring in, are they all lawyers or did any of them run a business in their life

The repugs controlled congress in 2005 and 2006. Memories fade and thatâ€™s the truth!

my point was that the majority is back then filibustered as it is now, so to complain that the dems cant get anything done now because of filibusters is Exactly the same situation when the republicans were in the majority

i’m not terribly thrilled with them(dems)myself, but who consistently called for checks and balances in this government(dems) and who consistently called for the always dreaded ‘nuclear’ option and exercised REAL obstructionist threats and ploys and tricks with the always handy smoke and mirrors that left our country in an obvious state of flux-so much so that now a tragic mining ‘accident’ gets less coverage than STILL hillary’s cleavage? the American people get 3 guesses, and i pray to the Great Almighty they get it right and if they do, it ought to be a painful moment for America’s once proud G.O.P.

I love it, Wayne. You kicked that Dog’s ass, and never even had to touch him. Nice one.

Hey Dog,

I just had you paged at the Austin-Bergstrom airport. Why didnâ€™t you answer?
Comment by Zooey

After I got to the airport I heard 2 pages for Dr. William Dog. He never went to the desk for the pages.
This is just hilarious.
I am still lmao over this.

recap:
I arrived at Bruce’s at about 11, worked out till 1ish when Dog was supposed to be there. He never showed.

Find out Dog was posting, claiming he was on a fantasy wireless connection sitting in Bruces at 1pm Eastern time, by the time stamps.

Katy called Bruce’s, Talked to Bruce, verified no wireless, asked for me, talked to me there at about 1:00. Dog was not there.

Zooey paged Dog and probably someone else did because I heard 2 after I got there. Dog was not there.

Freaking unreal that a troll can be that stupid and think people can not verify things fairly easily.

Mining comes under federal jurisdiction. The mine owner is in no position to lead the rescue efforts considering he could be held criminally responsible for this tragedy if he found to be negligent.

Bush is not blamed for any disaster. He is blamed for his response in helping those affected by it.

Blaming a disaster like this on Bush is yet another low for the BDS crowd.

Mining deaths under clinton rose by over 30% in his last 3 years in office as opposed to Bush who has overseen 3 of the years with the least coal mine fatalities and the year with the very least fatalities occurred on Bush’s watch in 2005!

Opportunistic…. manipulative…., I must be on the left side of the web.

After re-entering my handle about seven times, I failed to notice that it did not contain the correct cap set. This should fix that

Congress Calls For Hearings Into Administrationâ€™s Disastrous Recovery At Crandall Canyon Mine – 3 known dead.

How about this headline:
Congress Fails to Call For Hearings Into Administrationâ€™s Disastrous Response to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina – over 1,500 known dead.

True!
