The sky is falling in the Nanny State

It appears that there might be a Republican senator elected in Massachusetts, and Democrats all over the country are pissing their pants in fear.

I don't really see why it is such a surprise.  The Democratic candidate didn't really get that excited over the campaign until it looked like she wasn't winning by a landslide.  There seems to be general feeling that their party is somehow entitled to the position, and that anyone who disagrees is some kind of unpatriotic lowlife.  You know, judging by the way that party has been running Congress, they shouldn't be surprised if the independent voters are getting a little skeptical of the integrity and credibility of the Democratic Party.  In case you hadn't noticed, Democrats are just as crooked and untruthful as Republicans.  The main problem we have with the two party system is that now and then one party gets a large majority, and they look at it as an excuse to rape and pillage the taxpayers, and bully the opposing party.  The Republicans did it for several years, and now the Democrats have done it for the last three years.  They haven't done anything positive, so now public reaction is against them, and they think it's unfair.  Maybe the best thing is if everyone from both parties would just STFU and let Massachusetts settle its own politics, without everyone else butting in.
Just my opinion.

Haiti is still reeling from the earthquake and the collapse of law and order.  Hopefully the aid coming from the various countries will help them get back on their feet.

 Somali pirates get a record ransom.

Ridiculous.  Why does the world put up with these thugs?  There was a time when pirates got a stretched neck for their trouble.  Instead of negotiating with these dumb animals, how about putting some fear into them?  Someone tries to hijack a ship, blow them out of the water.  They know where their bases are at, why not drop a daisycutter on one to show them the error of their ways?  All they are doing is rewarding them for criminal activity.

Start paying in blood and bullets, rather than dollars, and you might be able to end this farce.
