In this corner, weighing in at what looks like about 130 lbs, Randal McCloy Jr, survivor of the coal mine accident.
In this corner, Ariel Sharon, stroke laden decaying Israeli Prime Minister.
The 24 Hour News Vermin didn't quite seem to know how to drop the Randal McCloy story in light of the Sharon drama that theoretically they can milk more crap out of.
It is ridiculous.
Things were ho-hum because of the holidays and then the News Vermin went all bad craziness over the collapse of a mine (that isn't all that rare of an occurence). The past few days media vermin frenzy, made even more insane by the misinformation about who died and who lived, was like watching vultures in the Sahara. Insane!
The whole mine incident will fade from the greater public consciousness by early next week. Unless of course Randal McCloy ends up not surviving this. Then it'll be until a week from today.
But Ariel Sharon is a tough fighter and has claimed the brunt of the news vermin coverage now. Thankfully he had to be readmitted to surgery again which boosted his rating even higher.
If he dies, it'll be fantastic for CNN, MSNBC, the main 3, and even the poopy asshole of news channels FOX. We'll get all kinds of drama over who will or won't attend the funeral, if there is a state one, since so many in the Middle East hate Israel.
The news vermin can haul out their special commentators. Larry King can have on celebrities talking about the state of affairs in the Middle East after Sharon's death. It'll be classic television folks!
The miners? Who? Oh. That was so last week!
Hell. Good old Pat Robertson might even offer some words of wisdom with a depth of insight rarely seen these days in these compassionate conservative christian times..
Huh? Oh. Great. He seems to already have chimed in.
And as usual, Mr. Robertson says best what we all fear to say. He's a good decent human. Please send him some money.

But Pat Robertson had nothing to say about god's wrath and the coal miners. Interesting. They must have been really wicked people.

God sure doesn't know much about doling out punishment, does he? Instead of immediately smacking Sharon on the ass and rubbing his nose in Gaza, he waits a year to smite him? Sharon'll never learn if you don't correct his behavior right away!!!
Everything I need to know I learned from Nanny 911.

Mr. T. Those who have sent me lists (and some have Sharon on it) are fine.
But there's many who have not sent me lists.

I have a question - when did Sharon start entering all those pie and hotdog eating contests? I don't remember him looking as large as your average Ohioan.

What I don't get is that God's wrath was supposed to come down on Dover, PA.
I take it God's really let that omnipotence thing go lately.
