Well here we are, at the beginning of what promises to be a website of varying opinions and off-comments that would make someone born in 1923 keel over and die. Newsburrito is a virtual burrito of news, wrapped up in the flakiest and most satisfying tortilla you can imagine, complete with enough cheese to stop the bowel movements of you favorite uncle, and salsa-like updates that will have you wondering what peppers and stories they are made of. This burrito will make you salivate, it will question the very things that have contributed to the aging of your soul, and it will be sure to be a painful departure hours after consumption. Enjoy the vibrant color, the musk of perfection, the exotic flavor, and signature taste that is....Newsburrito
Today we unwrap what seems to be the official return of the pirate. Piracy is something that has transformed from the tough and smelly bearded rough-asses of the past, into nerdy overweight thieves who steal their favorite Kelly Clarkson and Seal songs from a local server. This is no more. Pirate have once again claimed fame today by hijacking a ship, and holding the captain hostage. A U.S. warship races to the scene of the crime, to probably mess everything up, kill the pirates and mourn the casualty they will soon be responsible for.
If there is one thing I have learned about the U.S. it is this...we are terrible with hostage situations. We are the real life version of Die Hard, always trying to save the day, refusing to negotiate and let the bad guys get away. The bad part is the reality factor, when you don`t save the day and the criminals do what they told you they would if you interfere....kill hostages.
Last week in a siege scenario, 13 people died as a malicious gunman entered the New York building and began to open fire. It is shameful to see what this world is turning into, where people just kill innocents they do not know. These people have families and could probably be good company if you had a beer with them. Apparently the agenda of have 10 seconds of fame, claiming to be a terrorist, and dying in a gunfight is a more admirable scenario for some.
So back to the pirates. Somalia officially receives the award for most dysfunctional government in the world right now. For months, they have had this pirate problem. You know your government is in shambles when you cannot end a problem every other country took care of a hundred years ago. Really Somalia?! I`m pretty sure small arms that are manufactured and sold in your country for $5 can fend off pirates with the right fishing boat. Even more importantly...who is pulling over for these guys? If I was driving a freight and a bunch of Somalians in tattered clothes waved a bunch of semi-automatic rifles they could hit the water with were waving their guns at me....I would probably go inside and keep driving. "No thanks guys, I have some ship maneuvering I have to do!"
These pirates cannot be driving around fast and brutally armored ships, if they had that kind of money, they wouldn't be pirates. Come on.
