It was just reported that during a press conference Barry was asked about the pirate situation and Boy Wonder replied—Guys, we’re talking about housing right now.

Are you kidding me??!!! Actually it doesn't surprise me. Latest from AP, Crew member dad: Hijacked ship heading to Kenya

"The father of a crew member on an American cargo ship that was hijacked by pirates off the coast of Somalia says the vessel is headed to a Kenyan port with an armed guard of 18.

Joseph Murphy, whose son Shane Murphy is second in command on the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama, says he was told about the development by company officials who are briefing families. Murphy says he estimates it will arrive in Mombasa, Kenya in about 50 hours. He said the company plans to put on a new crew at that time, and he expects his son could return home by early next week.

A Navy team is reportedly on board the pirated ship."


It seems the pirates are left in the lifeboat without food or fuel AND with a destroyer in sight. Hmmmmmm. I'm wondering if they are rethinking their decisions about now.

I hope they aren’t getting fired.
