Is there any technology on the market that would allow coal miners that are up to 1,800 ft below the surface to communicate with persons above ground? 1800 feet = 0.3409091 miles.

It clearly is so much more important than the find of a body in the hunt for the Essex girl Natasha Coombs.

Is this the pathetic Justine McGuiness's last hoorah for the McCanns? It clearly is a press release - the words "grim" and "sad" are used for "the milestone". Pass me a sick bucket.

P.S. The words "flippin heck" are substituted for two other words beginning with F and H.

Another accident today killed three miners, this time in an air shaft under construction in a southern Indiana coal mine.

Rescue efforts continue in Utah at the site of the mine collapse but hopes are fast fading for the missing miners.

Mine disasters have inspired many great ballads as in these verses concerning the Springhill, Nova Scotia mining disaster:

In the town of Springhill, Nova Scotia
Down in the dark of the Cumberland Mine
There's blood on the coal and the miners lie
In the roads that never saw sun nor sky
The roads that never saw sun nor sky

Listen for the shouts of the bareface miners
listen through the rubble for a rescue team,
Six hundred feet of coal and slag
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam,
Hope imprisoned in a three foot seam.

But it seems to me that what we should be writing are better laws. Bone and blood are too high a price to pay for coal.

What do you think?

Have you noticed that everyone calls him "Mr. King" these days?

I know he's been in the business for over 50 years, but he is probably one of the least penetrating and least interesting interviewers of all time.

Last night I watched the CEO of that company that has the trapped miners on, and he called him Mr King. I think if you;re a senior citizen and own your own company you don't need to be so defferential with Larry King.

its kind of a silly, maudlin trend, don't you think? How come no one calls Lou Dobbs "Sir" or Mr Dobbs?

And no one calls Candy Crowley Madam or Ms Crowley?

Don't get me wrong though, I like Larry King and I like his show. I just think the whole defference thing has become a bit cheesey.

What do you think?

What do you guys think of this? It was stated that a draft should be considered. And some Republican has stated it should be started in order to end the war.

What do you think?

President Bush's war advisors are suggesting that a compulsory draft needs to take place in order to bolster our troops who are undergoing repeated deployments in Iraq.

As yet, his official word is that he hasn't bitten. But his official word has often been the opposite of what he was planning to do or support(especially getting near election time).

So would you support it?
Would you fight it?
Maybe would you just leave the country and go to Canada?

and killed all those people. They knew the bridge was dangerous. There are hundreds more as dangerous in the US. Our goverment stinks!

Excerpt from news:



while the federal transportation secretary offered $50 million to help with recovery and rebuilding.

During her visit, Secretary Mary Peters stood near a fallen section of the bridge cluttered by wrecked cars as she announced the latest emergency aid. The funds are an advance on $250 million approved by Congress but not yet appropriated.

The money comes on top of $5 million in federal emergency aid pledged right after the Aug. 1 bridge collapse and $5 million to help the public transit system handle the loss of the heavily traveled span.

The secretary later stopped by a bus garage to promise another $5 million for transit. Transit officials have added express bus routes since the collapse and said the federal money will help cover the costs.

Ok, Yes, this does make sense, but can anyone explain to me... who would actually have this much time to do this/does it mean anything/ are all these facts true?----


1) New York City has 11 letters

2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.

3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.

4) George W Bush has 11 letters.

This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:

1) New York is the 11th state.

2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number 11.

3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11

4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers. 6+5 = 11

5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11

6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number 911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.

Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:

1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.

3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.

4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers incident.


Now this is where things get totally eerie:

Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel
afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:

Open Microsoft Word and do the following:

1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.

2. Highlight the Q33 NY.

3. Change the font size to 48.

4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS

Did Paul McCartney die in 1966?


Someone just asked this and it was removed not sure why ?

Maybe this is a massive conspiracy

Question asked again


Did Paul McCartney die in 1966?

For years now i have heard rumors that the Paul McCartney we see today is infact an imposter by the name of Billy Shepard and that the real Paul died in 1966 along with the Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Apparently Paul and Brian were kidnapped and pauls body was later found on a beach in France and Brian was later found in a burnt out car at the bottom of a cliff?

So what does everyone think could it be true? Or could it just have been a story to sell more records?

Here is a link with more so called evidence....

it was a horrible event, i know that, but only about 5 people died in the thing, and there were moments of silence all over the place, people considering cancelling things in the memory of those people,

put this in perspective, i know it was a slow news period but forget Iraqi War death tolls, 5 new american deaths occur every 65 seconds these days in general, where are their moments of silence? i wouldnt bring this up if i didnt just think maybe people were just so upset their commute would be ruined.

and all those bridge scares immediately after, so frustrating how we all react so late to everything then once something tragic happens we act so illogically, as if that one bridge will set off some sort of domino effect on the rest of the bridges in this country... I hope i didnt seriously offend anyone I just had to clear this off

The General Strike is a national call to action, from citizens to other citizens. It is not about a single issue. It is not an anti-war protest, a civil rights protest, an election fraud protest. It is not about torture, surveillance, corporate media, the 9/11 coverup, or the environment. This strike is about all these issues and more.
