Fox News Channel ^ | 7-27-2 | jp

Watch and pray. The rescuers are optimistic that they will reach the cavity where the miners are located by midnight, perhaps as soon as 10pm et.

They just reported that several PA miners were caught in a similar situation thirty years ago AND WERE RESCUED ALIVE AFTER A WEEK IN THE HOLE.

My cable package is strange. I get Fox, CNN Headline and MSNBC, but no CNN.

His company is definitely going to need some financial help now

Hopefully, his landsharks will have some hard words for the incompetent mapmaker that showed the location of the other shaft in the wrong place. That's what started this fiasco in the first place.

Amen! Don't stop praying now!

Dear Lord Jesus, thou hast endured all that thy children endure. In memory and token of thy descent into the earth and return after three days, stretch forth thy hand to these thy children; by thy great mercy bring them out of these trials whole and unharmed. Strengthen them in patience and endurance to wait on thy time; endue the rescue workers with skill, and patience, and coolness of mind to work to thy glory. Give comfort and faith to all the family members and friends who await their deliverance; likewise to all of us who pray in love and trust for thy will to be perfected.

All this we ask in thy name and with resignation to thy will.

In Jesus's name, AMEN!

Well to be fair(and I've been very hard on FNC tonight), they did do the best job this afternoon, and stuck with the story today far more than any other channel. Rick Levanthal has done an absolutely superb job(unlike whoever back in NY decided Cavuto and Fleiss were more important, and then delayed in switching back to the scene).

However, for FNC to maintain credibility, that HAVE to fire Geraldo after his disgraceful performance tonight. What a complete asshole(sorry for the foul language, but nothing less is appropriate). Cutting off the governor while interviewing him, and his first words to start out the interview after the Gov. had just finished his conference was to clumsily slap his arm around the Gov. and proclaim "Way to go, dude". Completely smarmy, unprofessional, hammy, just came across as complety insincere and in incredibly bad taste.

And each trip up and down via an unlined shaft. If they send a doc down to check on the one with the possible heart problems, make that 10 trips. This isn't over yet.
