Lurch Calls for Pirate Hearings

Just what we need. Empty suits on Capitol Hill babbling about Somali pirates. I have a better suggestion. Open a major can of whoop-ass on these savages.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee called for hearings on the mounting piracy threat as the fate of an American cargo-ship captain remained in limbo Thursday.

"These acts of piracy off of Somalia’s coastline may seem surreal, but they’re all too real and a thorough policy debate is long overdue," said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) in a statement. "When Americans, including at least one from Massachusetts, are endangered, you’ve got a complicated and dangerous international situation brewing, and that includes questions about a hot-pursuit policy on Somalia’s coastline."

Glad to see Liveshot has woken up and realized what's going on over there. Of course absolutely zero would be accomplished by preening for the television cameras.
