Miners hurt in rescue

I have a question, what is the Number One thing in rescue operations?  You already have some folks that many be injured if not dead.  What is the number 1 thing?  No one else gets hurt!!  In Oklahoma City bombing, personnel got hurt rushing into a building that was not safe.  A nurse was killed.  Now, 3 of the rescue miners are confirmed dead, 6 are injured.

This whole situation stinks to high heaven.  Nothing seems to be going right.  These deaths make me physically sick.

BTW, I took Geology.  What the hell is a “bump”?  What is that?

Markos on Charlie Rose

Markos Moulitisas, founder of the Daily Kos, is on the Charlie Rose Show. He has some great things to say. He states that the Karl Rove has been bad for the country. He gives a great answer to the question to how he wants to win the presidency. Again, he does a great job.

The best part of this discussion is he talks about the power of the blogs. Politicians can go to the Daily Kos (or other blogs) and talk to the people.  The old filters or gatekeepers aren’t necessary any more.
