AND A BOTTLE OF RUM!

I’m sick and tired reading about the fucking Somali pirates. Don’t these dickheads realize how anachronistic they are? When any of us hear the word “Pirate” – we think of Errol Flynn, Yvonne DeCarlo, Anthony Quinn and Maureen O’Hara – not a ragtag bunch of street thugs.

The day after the Navy Seals rescued Capt. Phillips from these gangsters, after killing three of them – 4 more ships were hijacked on the high seas. It’s obvious that these pirates are after huge ransoms from the shipping lines or governments that own the hijacked boats. These thugs are controlled by Somalia warlords. In 2007, 263 ships where hijacked. It has gone up from then. A few sailors have been killed trying to defend their ships or as a warning to the owners that these killers mean business.

There is an International Law against piracy and robbery on the high seas. As usual with International laws nobody does a damn thing about enforcing them. The Old Geezer has a simple solution to end piracy once and for all. Somali is a lawless country. There is no functioning government. The place is run by criminal warlords making millions out of holding ships for ransom. Ready? We should bomb the fuck out of the Somalia coast and the rest of this lawless place. No one would miss the thieves. Fuck ‘em. If some of them are captured they should be drawn and quartered just like Charles Laughton would do. They should be summarily executed like mad dogs. The civilized world must use all means necessary to rid the world of these vermin.

If the International community is too pussy to do this, The U.S should go it alone – or, maybe with the help of the Israelis. These pirates have no reason to live!
