Defense Secretary Leon Panetta: No matter whether thee be Liberal Democrat, or Rabid Far Right Tea Party Fanatic, and everything in between, you, we all gotta give our just due credit to this, vastly understated Government Employee. From helping to create a Stimulus under Clinton, to the maximum adroit wiping out of one of the most ignorant men to have ever lived, Bin Laden with Insane, Panetta does his job with quiet and speed full efficiency. Now, I state all the above to underscore an extremely worrisome situation, most unfortunately, like an invisible and very lethal cancer growing to such heights and powers, it almost needs to be wiped out, if not now, then, very soon. Of course I speak of Iran. Imagine: On the very night Panetta's elite Seal Team had yet again knocked one out for democracy ( The Romping of evil Somalia Pirates), still, at Obama's 2012 State of the Union Speech, when Panetta should have been all secret smiles content, his face bore witness I noticed to grave, grave concerns, and I'll bet my last dollar, those were: "What in God do we do about Iran? C'mon: Iran makes no bones of its intensely evil ( Or the essence of extreme ignorance, you choose) to destroy Israel. Something behind the scenes is REALLY heating up. Let's finally commit to a " Manhatten Like Project for Super Solar Energy," already, and by such, sanction Iran to no oil revenues. Remember a wounde enemy on its knees is one that must finally seek out at the table peace. Think about it.  View

People do not realize what Libertarianism really stands for or what the consequences of following that philosophy would really be. It isn't just a staunch Republican philosophy. It sounds good in a speech but when you actually look into what would happen if you actually applied Libertarian policies you will see that the result would be disastrous. Libertarianism is an archaic philosophy. With live in a globalised economy. For us to get by, we now depend on foreign trade. That trade depends upon global stability and our foreign policy and military are a big factor in producing that stability. Reducing our influence would be an economic disaster and the resulting power vacuum would be filled by other nations...not safe and not smart. If you want to see an example of what a government would be like if it applied Ron Paul/Libertarian policies you need look no further than Somalia. They have a central government that can't take responsibility for anything. They have warlords and pirates and the people are starving and dying. If you want that for America, vote for Ron Paul.  View

NYU.... gay actor central. gay professor central. this just sounds looks and smells like that vicious jealousy that only Butt Pirates and Rump Rangers truly enjoy. who cares?  View

Bad calls should NOT be part of the game. That's BS. Why should an athlete strive all his young life to be the best at a sport where micro-seconds and inches count only to be negated by a non-truth? Why not just say... Who cares who wins? How about, who cares if it was a touchdown, or a fumble, or a bad hit? Bad calls are ok in baseball but not in football? IR works great in football, hockey, basketball and should be in baseball too- but not balls and strikes. There, the umpires need to get their act together and be consistent and accurate. The strike zone is all over the map these days! Pirates were robbed and this has happened so many times it's ludicrous. Hurts the game. Could cost the Bucs the postseason! GO GIANTS!!  View

perhaps it'd be slightly more effective to target the pirates.  View

Why doesn't the Somalian government go after these pirates? The pirates then would have no ransom,ever.  View

I saw the movie and I thought it was pretty entertaining. If you liked the other Pirates movies then you will like this one.  View

I personally believe families who venture the seas with their sailboats should be more vigilant about the growing problem of pirates. Either avoid high-risk areas, or be prepared to arm yourself. I sure hope the Danish family gets home safe and unharmed.  View

I don't exactly understand how pirates go about hijacking other boats. Do they just pull up next to them in the middle of the ocean and jump aboard unsuspecting ships? Why aren't people arming themselves in dangerous waters? If we know hijacking is a serious problem, I'd think people would be taking precautions.  View
