For all the Rose faithful, Derek is in West Virginia covering the mining disaster there. His article can be read here…

… although you’ll need to scroll down a bit to the earlier story, which has his by-line. I’m trying to publish a full-fledged post about this, but for some reason the site won’t allow me to act as an administrator. (Which supposedly I should be able to do.)

Derek,
I hope you weren’t the one who misreported that there were 12 survivors instead of 12 dead miners. That seems to have really upset everyone.

I noticed that this incident happenned in Tallmansville, which I find funny because my college nickname, which a few college friends still call me, was Tallman.

REPORTERS WRITE WHAT THEY ARE TOLD BY THE AUTHORITIES. Geez Louise.

But I think invoking ‘Deliverance’ is very tasteless.

>>>Rescuers raced against time last night to reach 13 West Virginia coal miners trapped by a blast in the bowels of the Earth while worried relatives prayed for their deliverance.

Someone tried hard to work that in.
