sounds more like a frathouse drinking song gone badly.

Very badly.

Pirates Hijack 3 More Ships in One Day

In less than 24 hours after seven pirates (voluntary coast guards) were given an express introduction to Allah, three more ships have been hijacked. Click.


Something that has always mystified me was the admission by these large corporations was that they would rather pay ransoms than the higher insurance rates by having an armed crew.

What the hell?

Corporations would rather send their hired crews to the bottom of the sea than allow them to defend themselves?!?

Maybe all they need to do is put a couple hundred gallons of acid (hydrochloric, sulfuric...) into their fire hoses. To be this afraid of a bunch of barefoot villagers tooling around in a wooden barge powered by two 50 year old outboard motors is insane.

The Veteran

Thank you James Taranto WSJ Opinion Journal

Of course it's a "VETERAN", you know; those homicidal maniacs who had to go into the military because of their abject stupidity.

The audio kerfuffle department.
Worrisome Student Behavior: The Veteran.

Death to you, and you, and oh... you too!

WaPo:The Free World Bars Free Speech

So, the Muslim community is for free speech as long as they agree with it. Of course, the trouble all started at the UN. Un-United Nations since most are totalitarian thugocracys.

"the Western world has listened aghast to stories out of Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern nations of citizens being imprisoned or executed for questioning or offending Islam. Even the most seemingly minor infractions elicit draconian punishments."

"The U.N. resolution... is backed by countries such as Saudi Arabia, one of the most repressive nations when it comes to the free exercise of religion. Blasphemers there are frequently executed."

"Even countries that the United States has helped liberate have joined the assault on free speech, rejecting the core values of our First Amendment."

Sound like tolerant Liberal thinkers to me...
