Chilean Miners Freed

To the delight and cheers of many around the world, 33 Chilean miners that were trapped one mile below the earth's surface, have been freed. Thank God for miracles, as this certainly was one. The 33 men endured 7-weeks underground, in a claustrophobic environment. Whilst in the enclosed space, they had to ration the food that was available and try to remain optimistic that recovery efforts would work. By God's grace, they have been safely rescued.

Side Bar: That could not have been me. I would have been asking for a laptop and WIFI and when I did not get it, whined and complained that humanity was able to put a man on the moon, so they can get me some WIFI one mile below the earth's surface.

Some of the miners received nicotine patches. I would have asked for a computer or internet patch. 2-months without internet? Oh, I would have dug my way out with my bare hands faster than that drill.

"CNN Mistakes Drill For Terrorist Attack"

Video: CNN Mistakes Drill for Attack CBS


CNN, the network that pronounced world leaders Chavez and Castro dead before time, when the men are still alive and typed Obama's name across the screen as Osama, made another blunder this week that left them red-faced.

The U.S. government was running a terrorist drill, inquisitive CNN spotted the exercise taking place and started rolling their cameras, pronouncing it another terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9/11.

By comparison, CNN is making this site look like Walter Cronkite was running it when he was alive (shakes head). CNN is now officially in TMZ blunder prone territory.
