Pirates?! Seriously?!

The Associated Press is reporting that pirates took a supertanker loaded with crude oil off the coast of Somalia. Seriously?! There are still pirates out there... and evidently they can take over ships much larger than Jack Sparrow. The story said they took it for ransom, which makes me wonder if large cruise ships are next. Imagine the ransom money they could collect from a boatload of tourists' families...

Read the story here.

Pirates are a way to train terrorist on our seas. Actually they can be more effective against us on water than on land. Seriously.

About Me

I'm as close to being a local girl as it gets - I grew up few counties away, went to Gardner-Webb, then stayed in the area after graduation. I started as a reporter at The Star, but have since moved over to the design side, and more recently took over the online editor position.
