Link Dump

Didn’t work them into a post, but some stuff:

That thing that Hillary lied and said happened to her? Actually happened to U.S. congressman Donald Payne.

    Dealing with pirates “like that” is exactly what’s called for; Go all 18th century on their sorry *sses.

    After having seen “Pirates of the Caribbean”, I have come to the conclusion that pirates can only be harmful if they aren’t dead enough.
