A Senate Committee has announced that the rescue of the Pennsylvania coal miners has been canceled ...
... 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:
- Heavy diesel equipment was moved to the rescue site without concern for possible air pollution.
- Water was pumped out of the mine without first determining if it was polluted, or providing an environmentally safe catchment area for
the water.
- Numerous holes were drilled in the ground during the rescue, without first performing an Environmental Impact study.
- No effort was made to ensure racial, ethnic, and sexual diversity of the rescue workers.
- The Governor of Pennsylvania was heard to "Thank God" during a live television broadcast of the rescue, violating the separation of
church and state.
- Several people at this public, government supported, rescue mentioned praying.
- The trapped miners did not represent a diversified cross section of American society.
- Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Hillary Clinton were not given sufficient time to make speeches at the site.
- The Senate was not given sufficient time to determine whether or not any Republican officeholder owned stock in the coal company, thus
being responsible for the conspiracy that caused the mine to flood.
- No one mentioned that Al Gore invented mine rescues.
Thus, the committee stated: "Once a diversified group of miners has been chosen and placed back into the mine shaft, the
holes will be sealed, the water will be returned to the mine, and the rescue will then be undertaken again, in an environmentally and
politically correct manner", the Committee noted.

A Roman Catholic priest stood at the church door greeting the parishioners after mass.
"Good mornin', Mr. and Mrs. O'Riley. I married you ten years ago but I never see any of your children in church."
"Deed you did, father. We've not been blessed. My husband and I have
tried but we've not been successful", said Mrs. O'Riley.
"I'm going to Rome for a few years sabbatical. I'll light a candle for you in the great cathedral at the Vatican.
Perhaps the Holy Mother will look kindly on you and your husband."
Several years later, back at the church door, greeting parishioners, the priest meets Mrs. O'Riley; "Mrs. O'Riley, did
you ever have any children?"
"Deed I did , Father," she said pointing to a family behind her. "We've had a set of triplets, a set of twins and two
singles since we last saw you."
"Praise be the Holy Mother. She's blessed you. But I don't see Mr. Is he here?"
"No, Father, he's gone to Rome to blow out your damn candle.
