James Larry kills his family because they were home Allah told him to do it.
Wow, maybe people watching this might realize that Islam by it’s nature is a toxic ideology and should be looked at very carefully.
Naaaaaaaah. it’s just an isolated nutcase. And the ready availability of guns. I blame the Pope.
How an industry falls to a Union, take a hard look at Massey Energy, and it’s CEO Don Blankenship.
Blankenship is a piece of work, but at the end of the day, nobody wants to see anyone go home in a body bag. The EPA, OSHA, MSA, and NIOSH are all involved in regulating mine safety; the problem is, the cost of compliance is nightmarish, and most of the regulations don’t address common sense issues. Owners have to comply to the bullshit, and when the miners themselves want or need changes to make their jobs safer, the response is as often as not “piss off” If the law doesn’t require it.
I have had to work on machinery in mines. I’m horribly claustrophopbic, and as I rode the elevator underground I thought, will I freak out when I’m so far underground? Not to worry.
There are so god-damned many ways to die in a mine, that claustrophobia doesn’t even enter into the equation. Trust me, it’s hell, and it takes a special kind of nutjob to work there.
And now more people have died, and the owners of the company will act exactly like the “Evil republicans” that the left wants to portray them as; they will follow the script so exactly that it will be as if the left wrote it for them. And more statist union thugs will ease their way into power.
Unions suck. And we do it to ourselves, over and over again.
My tractor, 46 years old and still putting along nicely, has reminded me that rubber has a limited shelf life.
So I ordered some new Chang Sheang Fling Poo tires, being the only bloody tires that size you can buy, and hope for their delivery tomorrow, or perhaps friday. And then, perhaps, I may be able to mow my freaking lawn. Need to till the garden, too. Hope to have a big one this year.
Anyway, I thought, who is gonna have a tire machine small enough to mount 12″ three-ribs?
Shit.
So I pulled the tires off myself, and hope to be able to get them back on with the same ease. Pulling them was so damned easy I’d forgotten why I take my regular tires in to have them done. We’ll see when they come in. Damn, I haven’t used those skills in thirty years.
