Two sweethearts ......

This is the guy who owns the mine that exploded yesterday. Today he says all he cares about is rescuing the possibly still living miners and recovering bodies.

Who remembers this evil garden gnome from a few years back at the Crandall Canyon mine collapse in Utah?

He only cared about the dead guys too.

That's what they all say. Interesting though, isn't it? Both these guys have reputations not as caring men but as ruthless dirtbag mine barons who skimp as much as they can get away with when it comes to worker safety. Murray wanted his dead guys to mine the columns supporting the roof. Blankenship couldn't be bothered venting methane where his dead guys were working.

I wish both men an infestation of rabid canaries flying up their asses.

4. They're already trying to spin fault onto

'seismic events'.

It's past time to start charging these fucking corporate vultures with negligent homicide or along those lines.
