Miners Rescue Mission [BREAKING Update- 11:11 PM EDT- Foxnews says "Nine For Nine" Yee Ha!]
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.

Maybe he was just towing the company line. Wasn't he on PMSNBC before FOX?

So is it true that Johnstown has more churches per square mile than any other city(built after the Flood)? That's the story that the railroad crews would tell, anyway.

I know the economy isn't the best, but there is some beautiful country out there. I worked many a train through Johnstown along the Conemaugh, have some nice memories. Never did see a bear, though!

Bet he's smaller than he was three days ago.

I was thinking the same thing, I'm pretty big fellow, but I bet you put in their shoes I could do some fitting into a cage if need be.

Glad to be of service.

Stats from FOX. 3000 miners killed per year in the late 1800s. 72 killed last year.

6th miner coming up...

Yeah, but the way he defended the impeached liar was embarassing, even by Gerry River's standards....

Well, come to think of it, there are a hell of a lot of churches in this town.

Almost as many churches as bars.

Geraldo was a horrible shill for Clinton. However, given that I believe his patriotic fervor is about as sincere as he is capable of feeling and he has taken a lot of ribbing from his FOX comrades over the irony of he even being on their network, I tolerate him. My wife does as well.....but we haven't forgiven him exactly. He's flawed seriously but he does generate a certain empathy when he's behaving. He and Levanthal did good on the cuff for hours tonight.

Well, would you need a place to repent if you didn't have a place to sin...?
