FOX: Fed. regulations prevented mine rescue
(please delete if this is a dupe)

Saw this while (briefly) watching Faux news to see their take on this story. Apparently, this will be is the GOP spin on the latest fatal mining accident in the coal mines of West Virgina, that firefighters were prevented by, yes, federal regulations from entering the mine & saving the lives of the trapped miners. That's what caused their deaths, federal regulations. Not inadequate safety practices. Not a gutted mine health & safety inspection system. No. Federal regulations. Jeezus, how do these people sleep at night

2. They don't sleep at night. That is not what perplexes me.
What perplexes me is how those vampires manage to be out during the day. According to myth, the sun should fry them.

least for brief periods.
