Yes, indeed.

He should have been hung from the yardarm on the Bainbridge. As an example of what happens to pirates we catch.

But then I’m old school. What would Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson do?

As for these “truth commissions”, is Obama willing to stand trial should something bad happen under his watch?

The truth about the terror truth commissions is that George Soros with his legion of loons would get to poke a stick in our nation’s eye once more.

Re the Dimocrats’ kangaroo courts: I really, really hate those f*cking people. I do. They are so completely off the rails, I don’t even recognize my former party. The Bandar-log are in charge of our country, and God help us.

I think, were I in his shoes, I would be smiling like crazy too.

First off he lived, those other unlucky bastards didn’t. Secondly the *worst case* is that he is found guilty as an adult and spends the rest of his life in extreme wealth compared to where he was and lives well into his golden years (most likely release from prison to actually live here before then). Worst case is that we set him free in our country (too cruel to send him back). I’m sure his lawyers have informed him of that already.

If you want to see non-smiles have a guilty verdict remanded back to a Somali prison or even back into a Somali court system.

I can already tell you that the sympathy given to a young person who is making their way in that hell hole the only way they know how is going to *more* than trump the plight of a cushy westerner who only had his life at risk for a few days (and delivering an Evil(tm) carbon emitting product to boot). Given that it is obvious he is guilty as hell his lawyer will strongly push for that idea too – it’s not his faults, it is societies (while even if it is true – doesn’t that mean he should be cordoned off from us anyway?).

At worst he will get a wrist slap, made a citizen (Somalia sucks, can’t send him back there you know), and either go on welfare for the rest of his life or revert back to crime enough to finally be jailed for life and still happy at the prospect. My guess is jailed as his first act of piracy/theft worked out so well I suspect he will think his next will too. And then we will wonder what went wrong in that whole chain of events, best if the Republicans are at fault in some way (had they funded prisons better he would be cured).

I mean look at the picture of that boy smiling and the U.S. agents look so mean.

I’m glad that picture was released. It confirms we are a bunch of meanies…

How do we dare try this boy as an adult for piracy?

“You can’t HANDLE the truth!!!”

(Which begs the question, “Where ARE a few good men?”)

Krugman is ignorant, or at least intellectually dishonest, about economic issues too! He hasn’t done any serious work on Keynesian macroeconomics yet somehow he always argues for its most extreme application.

The only serious economic work that he’s done has been on trade theory. He’s quite a good trade theorist (which is WHY he won the Nobel, not because of his op-ed columns), but he’s totally dishonest or incompetent when it comes to the domestic economy.
