Piracy off the Somali coast has been getting more and more press of late - especially with the pirates recent (and awesome!) seizure of a Ukranian cargo ship carrying tanks destined for god-knows-where (there is dispute - some say Sudan, though Kenya insists they are for its own military) to undoubtedly wreak further havoc on poor Africans.
After France, the US and several other nations decided to begin patrolling waters near the Somali coast, NATO now wants a piece of the pirates.
So far this year, our favorite bad guys have cost "up to $30 million." No word yet on how much this NATO deployment will cost. My guess is that it'll be a little more than $30 million.

Being Muslims, they must be peaceful pirates at least. These Somali pirate monkeys are out of control. They go out for weeks in little rickety boats with just weapons and water and eat raw fish they catch and keep hijacking bigger then bigger, then bigger boats.
These terrorist monkeys must be exterminated with extreme prejudice. Several drones into their camps when they're fat and happy celebrating their new money should do the trick.
Lots of great Pirate coverage over at Dinah Lord:

God of the Universe says

seizing ships for ransom
everybody gets rich

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says

Wow, uspace, you just delivered some REAL TALK!
Everyone should follow the link embedded in the word "uspace" and read about his e-book. I'm glad I've held off my contributer role until after this nutbag visited the blog.
