Somali Pirates Have a Livejournal

Here it is. And, wouldn't you know it, they have an opinion on the murder conviction delivered to Phil Spector, whom they reveal as one of their own.

[L]et us say this to you now, American dogs: your snipers may take us out with headshots, or your lawyers may frame us for murder. We care not about the methods, and we care less about the results. Because we are not all as easy to find as our fallen comrade who lived in a castle in Los Angeles. Most of our castles are in Somalia, and they are underground, and they are guarded by wild boars who haven't been fed this week.

This confused me for a moment before I remembered the Phil Spector story. I thought it was serious until the wild boars remark, although the Los Angeles bit seemed odd.

I can't decide if this is funny or in rather poor taste. Both, I guess. Let's hope better solutions than fighting another "Barbary Coast" war over this business can be found. (different coast, I know)

From the Huffpost article:

"What I did was to keep me from perishing. I was forced to go a-pirating to live."

THAT is the central issue here. I am shocked no one is talking about in the mainstream media. Did I say shocked? I meant, duh, obviously they won't, because we have to keep the focus on "rule of law" and ignore the real issues.

Shame on Obama for not even mentioning this basic truth and sticking to the big strong Commander in Chief role..

Solve the poverty problem, piracy will dry up and blow away. Guaranteed. I'd rather see my tax dollars go to achieving some kind of baseline standard of living in Africa than any domestic war or terror spending, or bank bailout, all of which are just throwing money into a big black hole.

"You know, look. We know what we signed up for, but WTF?

They totally shot Ricky, Jim and Harvey. And captured Paulie. I mean, really? Why leave Paulie alive? This was his first mission and he wasn't even good at it. At least he doesn't know a lot of secrets. Frankly, I hope the US tortures him. Maybe he'll tell them about his thing for the Jonas Brothers."

Oh those wacky Somali Pirates, and their high seas high-jinks. They're just a couple steps away from being a fox reality TV show.
