prediction: some MSM sources will write "3 pirates died", because "died" is a sad word.

any reason not to arm the US merchantmen while at sea and toss the ARs over the side before going into port? beats the hell outta a firehose, doesn’t it? a few ARs every voyage are a cheap price (literally) and would sure up the price of poker for the somalis (who are now the only guys with guns)

He is Risen Indeed! Happy Easter all.

New York Daily News:
“Three of the four Somali pirates died”

Some of the coverage is actually quite positive for Obama’s sake, of course
