Ah, now this is how a man is supposed to look on a golf course. (What's that in his pocket? A really big cell phone?)
U.S. President George W. Bush points his driver at the press pool on the first tee at the Andrews Air Force Base golf course in Maryland, July 27, 2002. Bush celebrated victories in the House of Representatives on homeland security and trade by playing golf with key members and urging the Senate to act on the bills before next week's summer recess.

Let's compare.

Yep, they're going to die anyway, not much of a sacrifice. The murderers also put rat poison in their bombs with causes blood no to clot. Evil bastards.
I can't imagine the relief those families felt this morning! God bless them!

Good afternoon! I just got up, watching the miners being rescued last night was a must. I saw it mentioned on another thread that Whoraldo was giving himself credit in some way, what the heck was that all about? I only watched the coverage on WTAE and KDKA, so I have no idea what they were talking about.
Funny you should mention Schweiker and the Senate, I was thinking that myself when he was speaking to the press last night. Arlen has been showing he's retirement material for a long time.
My lawn is lovely brown patches, we're sharing the same weather pattern. We had rain a few days ago, but it seems like the itsy-bitsy spider principle applies, the sun comes out and dries up all the rain.
I doubt Bill and Hill can share a hemisphere, let along stand one another for a weekend. Any claims that they spend any time together rate high on my BS meter.

I did not know BKO till she was gone.
One of the drawbacks of not watching the tellie.
A wonderful day to all who find their way here. JL

The doctors said the miners were ravenously hungry, and ate donuts, cookies, sandwiches, and lots of beverages as soon as it was deemed medically safe. When one asked for a beer, the doctor had to deny it, however, due to their dehydrated condition. It was quite amusing, and the doctors conducting the press conference just couldn't keep from smiling and remarking that the men's good condition after their ordeal was miraculous.

Can you imagine the partying that will be going on tonight?! Wish I could buy them all a beer.
To: mountaineer; BigWaveBetty
I had to crack up, last night their first reported words on WTAE were: "There are nine guys down here, get us the hell out, we need chew." It does show they retained their sense of humor.
BWB thanks for the photo, he looks almost as choked up as his wife.
My great grandfather and both my grandfathers were mine superintendents, this story really struck a chord with me. My great grandpa and grampy told me stories about what it was like in the mines, I recalled those stories during the whole ordeal. I found myself able to imagine what it was like being trapped in such a small space and being cold, wet and hungry. God bless them all!

Seen here, Robert Redford is asked what he knows about the real world.
To: pubmom
he looks almost as choked up as his wife. He is as choked up. Just saw the news clip and he was saying that they weren't sure they'd get out so he asked one of his buddies to give him a pen so he could write his wife a note. He could hardly talk about it. It made me cry too.

The hospital folks said that although they couldn't let the guys have beer, there was plenty of smokeless tobacco to be found. People even dropped off tins of the stuff at the hospital for the miners, until the hospital people said no more was needed, thanks. WTAE claims to have a lot of exclusive footage and interviews they'll be replaying on tonight's 6:00 news. (I'm sorry to have to say that, as my brother works for WPGH news).

Public Broadcasting Service president Pat Mitchell takes questions from members of the media on Friday, July 26, 2002 at the PBS press tour in Pasadena, Calif. PBS, headquartered in Alexandria, Va., is a private, non-profit media enterprise owned and operated by the nation's 349 public television stations. A trusted community resource, PBS uses the power of noncommercial television, the Internet and other media to enrich the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services that inform, inspire and delight. Available to 99 percent of American homes with televisions and to an increasing number of digital multimedia households, PBS serves nearly 100 million people each week. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
Golly! They completely forgot to mention that in addition to enriching the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services they also provide a slanted lefty view of the way they wish the world should be.

Thanx to all for the updates on the condition of the miners. I was struggling with some pain issues last night so I stayed up and watched every bit of it.
I switched to the Western Channel about 10:00 am. No need to concentrate and retain what you see & hear there.
BWB, I doubt that those guys will need to buy their own beer for several months.
To: Iowa Granny
I'll bet you're right about the beer! :-)

A trusted community resource, PBS uses the power of noncommercial television, the Internet and other media to enrich the lives of all Americans through quality programs and education services that inform, inspire and delight. If the Associated Press had even one shred of journalistic integrity, it would refrain from editorializing in its photo cutlines. Good grief, that's pathetic.
Seen here, David and Liza are asked by reporters if they've consummated their marriage yet.
Actress/singer Liza Minnelli, right, and her husband, producer David Gest, laugh as they are interviewed about married life and their new weekly VH1 musical reality series, "Liza And David," in Los Angeles, Thursday, July 25, 2002. The series will follow the couple's social life in their Manhattan penthouse and will premiere in October, 2002. (AP Photo/Lucy Nicholson)

If the Associated Press had even one shred of journalistic integrity, BWAHAHAHAAHAHAA!!! Oh mountaineer, that's comedy GOLD!
I think they should hire me to caption their photos. tee hee!
To: BigWaveBetty
I like your caption to post #58 better than the APs...You are such a crack-up...
