LOL – Or because all the good doctors were long since driven out of business.

So, if there’s any justice in the world, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi will die of neglect in a socialized health care facility because their illegal immigrant nurses can’t understand their pleas for help?

The ransom should have been paid in pennies or centavos. Perhaps the coinage of the hardest currency to exchange or maybe the most worthless.

Heard on the news of some fellow in Indiana (?) who protested his property taxes by paying the $80K in silver dollars. I think it would be hillarious to give the pirates a couple million in pennies.

Iâ€™ll go with the obvious with a spiritual twist I guess: â€œLive by the swordâ€¦â€

That’s assuming the pirates didn’t simply fake their own deaths. “family members were still looking for four missing bodies”…

Hey, pirates are people, too. At least they were going to work. Hopefully, there will be an investigation to make certain that their craft was properly in compliance with international safety rules. Also, did the Coast Guard make every effort to save them? I have made it a rule to never judge a pirate until I swashed a mile in his buckle.

Hang ‘em and gibbet ‘em. Where’s Lt. Maynard and Gov. Spottswood when you need ‘em?

Five less pirates. No loss.

The western world is pussy footing around in dealing with pirates. The west should sink the ships the pirates capture and call it a day. No negotiations, no ransoms.

Really, I’d think they were only looking for the money.
