you load 16 tons and what do you get, you get killed by this woman…

 

the controversy about what caused the miners death this past week in west virginia will continue for as long as the media can continue to hype it in anyway it can.

 

some say it was because of god.  he/she sent the lighting which sparked the explosion.  what did these miners do to deserve the wrath of the lord?

 

others say it was caused by the owners of the mine who didn’t give a hoot about the danger and had hundreds of existing safety violations in that operation.

 

hold it.  let us clear this up quite clearly.  the mine got its violations from the united states bureau of mines.  it is an agency under the control of the united states department of the interior.  the mine should have been closed by the government.

 

it is for this reason, we give the “hey abbott award” to gale norton, the secretary of the department of the interior.  she is a woman who is the epitome of the sleazy political appointee who doesn’t deserve to be hired to clean the floors at the department of the interior.

 

if there is a major american corporation that harms our environment, you can almost bet your last piece of coal that gale norton has probably worked for them for large financial gains.

 

ask any environmental organization and they will gag when you mention the name of gale norton.

 

the miners should never have been in that mine working in conditions that inspectors had already said were dangerous.  the reason the mine was left open is because the general policy of gale norton and her department of the interior is not to upset corporations.

 

her policy seems to be to allow miners to die needlessly.

 

hey gale.  how about going to west virginia and facing the families of the miners?
