Miners Rescued

I’m grateful that twelve of the thirteen miners trapped by a coal mine explosion have been found alive. Prospects had looked very bleak.

(It is not yet known just when George W. Bush will stage his photo op with the rescued miners to try to cash in on their rescue.)

Update: Apparently the early reports were wrong. At this point, only one of the thirteen miners is alive. He is hospitalized in critical condition. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the miners lost in this disaster.
