Due to inflation caused by QE3 we can no longer afford RRRRRs and must use QQQQQs for talk like a pirate day.
The net effect is we will all sound like angry stuttering jihadists trying to say Al QQQQQQQQueda.

Still beats listening to the mating cats bellowing “ashaddu an la ilaha illa Allah” all night

@ Zimriel:
quick! shoot it before it multiplies!
Obama’s plans for pirates day: continuing raiding the treasury.
Talk like a pirate day. Arr.
Barbados didn’t have much of a pirate heritage on account that it was overrun by British soldiers. That island made a ton of bank in the sugar and rum trades, was strategically crucial, and also very small. There was Sam Hall Lord, I suppose (a cousin of mine!), but he barely counts.
I understand that Jamaica was a little more… libertarian, on that issue.
And I will hoist some rum to the memory of Captain Morgan. Burning Panama City LIKE A BOSS.

Did Meier is a genius. Love his games. Have spent untold hours at Civilization, Gettysburg, Antietam, and Alpha Centauri.
Meier’s Civilization 2 was one of those games that may have cost me a few GPA decimals in college.
@ Zimriel:
I am avid Civ fan!
@ Zimriel:
Ha, Commodore 64 was state of the art when I was in college. We wasted some time with that, but spent most nights playing Euchre. Also a good way to shave the GPA…
@ Daffy Duck:
The good ol’ C-64. I had one of those, and used it for more years than I want to think about. It was my only computer until well after AlGore ‘took the initiative to create the internet’ (said in a near monotone voice). In some ways, I prefer it to the newest computers. For example, it didn’t take any time at all to start up.
Imagine Charles Johnson as a pirate?
@ Rodan:
Nah, piracy too much like hard work.
@ Zimriel:
ARRRR! Captain Morgan operates a Large Frigate in t’game. A lil unwieldy if ye ask me, but I prefer Blackbeard’s Frigate. ARRRR!
@ Rodan:
ARRRR! I be not goin’ there! ARRRR!
“We don’t belong in the playoffs.”
@ Zimriel:
Gesundheit!
That picture, if it was of the president, that would be Chris Matthews down there.
With all due respect, take it from an old pro .. its ‘Arghhhh’. Ya gotta have the ‘r’ in there. Ok, all together now … check Pollys position … bite down on that blade, one eye closed (sorry, wernt enuff patches to go ’round)… thats it, lookin’ good ! ONE … Macker -- get a little spittle goin’ in the corner of your mouth now… TWO … c’mon mates, scowl … THREE !! ARGHHHHHHHH !!!!!
I beg to differ -- there’s no “GH” in “Arrr!” Ye be trying to talk piratical-like, not sound like yer Charlie Brown and Lucy just yanked the football agin.
This all doesn’t look good.
…and I here nothing from the magic Paul Ryan ? Is he still alive ?
Good morning, a return to the photo walking today.
Yar my hardys. Yar be a good boy Jom Arkins, give ol
Long John the map Jim.
I’m just confronted with a link to nine studies, all saying how wonderful the “stimulus” and the recovery act work(ed)
I was just in the hotel fitness center.
Morning Joe was on TV with Tina Brown, publisher
of Newsweek.
Seh was in full attack mode on Romney & even called the
Republican Convention the “Stumble Bum Convention”
So she was Ok with the Dem all abortion all of the time convention,
an address by an “illegal” alien & booing God?
Avast me harties!
Let’s hope our ‘leaders’ up in DC tell the imams in Egypt and elsewhere to walk the plank like the scurvy swabs they are when they ask us to turn this ‘film maker’ over to them.
The movie may be crap (quality), and it isn’t something that’s a ‘polite’ thing to say, but it’s his right to say it. If he’s fool enough to ever travel over to Egypt or Saudi Arabia, then he can face their court. If he travels to Europe, they may well turn him over. But as long as he’s here, they can burn their whole country to cinders for all I care.
Good Mornin …..a ration of grog for all
@ Guggi:
The “Stimulus”was was extremely successful. The whole point was to increase the national debt while keeping unemployment up. That isn’t as easy to do as you might think, but Obama did remarkably at both goals. He has.managed to accumulate more months of 8 +% unemployment than the previous 11 presidents combined ! It takes real skill to do that.

Yes, he had the right to make and show the “movie” but he had no right to alter the words spoken by the actors without their knowledge afterwards. He brought them in serious if not deadly danger and they should sue the hell out of him.
And btw.: if the quality of the movie is low or not is irrelevant because Muslims all over the world don’t riot against the movie because of it’s of “low quality”.
I hope I’ll come never near this WaPo opinion writer, I would end up in rpison for the rest of my life.

So, what are you going to believe, nine “studies”, or your lying eyes?

There is a Laffer-study out which shows clearly that the “stimulus” didn’t have any effect.
Avast, me hearties! I’m in Boise ID and the local radio station along with a donut shop around the corner will give you a free donate if you walk in and talk like a pirate. Dress like a pirate matey and Shiver me timbers! you’ll loot a dozen.
@ Buffalobob donate= Pirate talk for donut
