Butt-kicking Americans prevented Obama from having to show his yellow streak. Nice.

THE ONE is still, probably, sleeping. He WAS out 'til 4AM this morning, dont you know...and all that jet lag...you know what I'm sayin?

I hope this is true. The one opportunity for a positive resolution to this attack will come very early on.

"The crew is going to be in a lot of trouble when they get to port."

Crewmembers: "Pirates? What pirates? We were having trouble with some parrots that flew aboard. We never saw any stinking pirates!"

I hope they didn't torture the poor pirates or make them feel too uncomfortable...

What do you call throwing three pirates overboard into shark infested waters?

A good start.

I had to post a source, in that CBS radio news was running the story I used that link...Assuming they will update soon.
They ran the story as “Breaking News, and again at 11:30am EST.
Looking for confirmation on the web now ..

They used the inspiration of Barack Obama’s struggles to repel the pirates. Barack will be receiving a Medal of Courage in the AM!

Obama will have our merchantmen up on murder charges if any of “the friends we haven’t made yet” drowned.
