Miracles?

The remaining staff at the Weekly Charlie seem to be bucking for canonization:
"For the past week, Charlie, an atheist newspaper, has achieved more miracles than all the saints and prophets combined."
I don't know that going about ones occupation despite ones grief and fear qualifies as a miracle, but those in mourning have earned the right to a little hyperbole, (not to mention the right to the increased sales that will at least help them to capitalize on their tragedy.)
