May Day: Massey Miners’ Families Offered $3M for Loved Ones

But they had no money for safety regulations.

Today is May Day, still celebrated as a workers’ holiday by many, and this news makes me sick. To hell with Massey, BP, and the state of Arizona.

What we’ve seen with Massey and BP is a direct result of the cronyism of Dubya who was more willing to let his friends make money than to enforce safety standards. Those men shouldn’t be dead. The people who worked on that rig shouldn’t be either. Where are the shitheads who make these decisions? I want to see them cleaning the oil off all marine life.

I can’t even bear to read the news about Gulf spill, but I am absolutely sure I would trade a million Sarah Palins for 1 goddamn sea turtle. She should be choking on oil, instead.
