Miners trapped, again

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

It’s a new year, and time to get back to the blog.

Today the families of thirteen trapped coal miners” wait to hear of the fate of their loved ones. President Bush sent his prayers and said that the government would do all in its power to help bring the trapped men out.

Wait a minute, this sounds familiar. Oh yeah, I remember. This is the same George Bush who stopped action on 13 job safety initiatives from the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Maybe he could try giving real job safety to workers, and send the prayers to his corporate backers.
