Please no one bash me for this, it is only a joke and I know mining is a dangerouse job.

A committee composed of Senators Daschle, Clinton, and Feinstein has announced the the rescue of the Pennsylvania coal miners hasa been repealed, and the miners will, by recommendation of the Committee, be placed back in the mine. The Senators noted the following violations in the rescue process:

10. Heavy diesel equipment was moved to the rescue site without concern for possible air pollution.

9. Water was pumped out of the mine without first determining if it was polluted, or providing an environmental safe catchment for the water.

8. Numerous holes were drilled in the ground during the rescue, without first performing an Environmental Impact Study.

7. No effort was made to ensure racial, ethnic, and sexual diversity of the rescue workers.

6. The Governor of Pennsylvania was heard to "Thank God" during a live television broadcast of the rescue, violating the separation of church and state.

5. Several people at this public, government supported, rescue mentioned praying.

4. The trapped miners did not represent a diversified cross section of American society.

3. Jesse Jackson, Al Shaepton, and Hillary Clinton were not given sufficient time to make speeches at the site.

2. The Senate was not given sufficient time to determine whether or not any Republican office holder owned stock int the coal company, thus being responsible for the conspiracy that caused tyhe mine to flood.

And, Number 1: No one mentioned that Al Gore invented mine rescues.

"Once a diversified group of miners has been chosen and placed back into the mine shaft, the holes will br sealed, the water will be returned to the mine, and the rescue will then be undertaken again, in an environmentally and politically correct anner", the Committee noted.

You know, the bad part is, it wouldnt surprise me if this was true.



And Im not bashing you, my daddy is a coal miner and has been for over 30 years. Its just sad that I wouldnt be surprised if the "esteemed" Reverend Jesse(gag) didnt make an issue out of SOMETHING that didnt go his way during all this.
