I haven't heard about how the bad information originated.
Someone overheard a rescuer's cell call - the rescuer was talking about finding the 12 miners, but made no mention as to their condition.
edit for dumb spelling
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I gotta say, the piece NPR had this morning was evil. They start out with "oh good news" for a good couple sentences then "But NO." I dunno, maybe it was just because I was waking up and so I process slowly, but it tasted tacky to me.
I need to go thank a friend for a present she left on my desk. And ask her for something. Which also seems tacky because I haven't really talked to her in months and didn't go to her NY's party. I'm not avoiding her, I've just been a bad friendlike person locally for the past couple of months. Trying to not make it "Hi! Thank you! Missed you! And by the way, could you do this for me? Thanksbye!"

I'm not sure if it was a media person who overheard the call - IIRC the media got the info from the families.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Did you all hear about how the Jack Abramoff scandal played out? Apparently it all came about as the result of a fiancee scorned.
Check it:
Scanlon was implicated in the Abramoff scandal by his former thirtysomething fiancee, Emily J. Miller, whom he met in the late 1990s while working as communications director for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX), three former associates who worked with Scanlon at DeLay’s office said. Colleagues say Miller went to the FBI after Scanlon broke off their engagement and announced his intention to marry another woman.
Don't mess with a woman scorned.

Abramoff stuff is like a really great gift to start off 2006. Or is it an extended Fitzmas?

Munchism, or erikaism?
