Avast!

Finally, a bit of good news on the TV. After months of bailouts of failed corporations, failed state governments, assaults on the Constitution by our elected officials, apologies for being American by the President, and countless other insults to our collective psyche, 20 merchant seamen have made us all proud by retaking their ship from Somali pirates. I write this before the details have been released, but the first reports make me feel good about life, and the American ideal of self reliance.
