I'd support creating that position only if it's pronounced "Pirate Czarrr"

No word on whether 'Pirate Czar' is among them.

Nor 'Ninja Daimyo'.

Hillary laughing about the pirate situation (pops) makes me want to vomit. I wonder how the family of Captain Richard Phillips feels about her cackling?
What kind of a pool of decaying fecal matter do you have to be to laugh at that, as Secretary of State? She's basically emboldening pirates with her attitude.

MacG: She's basically emboldening pirates with her attitude.

Yes. Because we all know that pirates have been awaiting her secret signal for years.

Filled out the form months ago. They want to know all the guns I own, but they don't ask if I have always paid my income taxes.

Yep, because all the Somalis line up to catch every news conference with the Secretary of State.

vartian: Yep, because all the Somalis line up to catch every news conference with the Secretary of State.

Honestly, I don't think I have ever caught even one news conference with the Secretary of State and I actually try to stay on top of political events.

I'll be the pirate czar. But only if I get to use REASON with them.

Reason

Reason is a needlegun-type Gatling rail gun that fires depleted uranium ammunition. It consists of a large, wheeled ammunition box, an exaggerated Gatling gun configuration, a harness for user comfort, and a nuclear isotope power system, whose heatsink must be submerged in water. A nameplate on the device is engraved with the phrase Ultima Ratio Regum, Latin for "The Last Argument of Kings" (this phrase was engraved on all of Louis XIV's cannons).

maybe we should give the pirates weapons? it's what republicans do to get hostages released.

ZING!

I am sure there are still a lot of tax cheets available for Chairman Obama to pick from.

This is normal for a new administration. Sometimes it goes deep into summer, maybe even fall.

something something Sir Francis Drake

Geez, Obama or Obaman't.

I was gonna apply for the'Extraordinary Rendition Czar' for the last
POTUS but Dicky C. said he already had it covered!

Bobby Teenager: Geez, Obama or Obaman't.

haha oh, no

As of March 31, by an internal White House tally, Obama had 38 top-level officials confirmed, compared with 27 for George W. Bush, 37 for Clinton, and 27 for George H.W. Bush.

Ah, some hard numbers. And what do they say? Oh, they say that Obama's filling his positions 40% faster than recent Republicans and on pace with the recent Democrat.

Why all the crying that it's too slow?

This is the problem when you hire the inexperienced: Not enough cronies for all those cushy Schedule-C jobs.

He needs to wait for the private sector to shed 3 million more jobs. Then his temporary public sector jobs "save" the 3 million.

well this Obama Depression is now losing 720,000 jobs per month.

I have to ask? Who the frack voted this into office?

For pirate czar, Tasha Yarrrrrrrr I nominate.

Hobodeluxe: maybe we should give the pirates weapons? it's what republicans do to get hostages released.

Only if we can trade the hostage for drugs later on. We've got Contras to fund!

At four percent job growth per year (whenever the pendulum starts to swing in that direction), it will still be six years before we return to 2008 job numbers. (Per some local radio economist) I'm taking a wild swing here, but I'm betting the goal posts are going to be shifted sometime soon. Don't think rallying behind the president as he deals with Somali pirates is gonna save him from that ugly reality.

If Obama were really a communist wouldn't he want FEWER Czars in government?

flannelled fool: At four percent job growth per year (whenever the pendulum starts to swing in that direction), it will still be six years before we return to 2008 job numbers.

Yeah, it's pretty awful how much of a hole the Republicans dug us into. I'm glad we have someone at least semi-competent working on the problem.

Imagine how much more he'd be able to do to help the country if it wasn't for the massive, overwhelming incompetence of the previous administration. "What could have been", indeed.

Here's a list of people that meet the Obama administration's typical qualification for nominees. (new window)

MacEnvy: Yeah, it's pretty awful how much of a hole the Republicans dug us into. I'm glad we have someone at least semi-competent working on the problem.

Yeah, yeah, adults working on the problem. It's old:


Not to mention, you're a terrorist. (Already submitted, hoping for a green)

The other day I was watching the news and they mentioned someone (paraphrasing) that basically, it's up to her to deal with the pirates and freeing that Captain. I said to my girlfriend "I don't know what's worse, being held for ransom by pirates, or finding out that your fate is in Hillary Clinton's hands."

I personally say we send in a few military vessels and sink any and all pirate ships they find. No arrests, no surrendering, find a confirmed pirate ship and send it to Davy Jones's Locker.

So now I'm going to be reading the phrase "Chairman Obama" for the next four years? You guys can do better, seriously.

carmody: You guys can do better, seriously.

Not really.

While I agree that pirates are scurvy dogs that deserve to be sunk, what seperates us from them is that we do play by the rules, and that means no wholesale slaughter without the justification of attack. The high road sucks sometimes.

They had two years to come up with something and the best they could do was Jeremiah Wright.

GoodHomer: For pirate czar, Tasha Yarrrrrrrr I nominate.

She'd quit before the midterms, then come back for season finale ever year for the last 8.

Screw the high road. If something is a clear threat, take it out. Some groups need to be treated like a cancer and eliminated. Somali Pirates are one of those groups.

My vote for Pirate Czarrrr

Surely there are others with tax problems remaining.

Hundreds of jobs waiting to be filled? That sounds like a problem. And we all know how the Republicans address problems - they work overtime to make them worse (new window)!

Her statement about Mexico's drug war and arms being America's fault is worse. I don't think she intended this to come out the way it's being used with the laughter, so I give her a pass on this one.

I want to be the Pirate Czar. You know the uniform would be spectacular.

My nomination for "Pirate Czar"

Not sure what was so funny, I guess she is laughing, or is thinking how odd that 204 years later, we are still dealing with pirates. Not funny, but I am willing to let her push the "overcharge" button.

How does that sound go again?
