Avast and ahoy, ye mateys! While it's been over three centuries since Captain Kidd was hanged by the neck until dead and the Jolly Roger no longer terrorizes Spanish galleons, piracy is still alive and well in some areas of this world, as this post by Geitner Simmons shows.

Speaking of Geitner, he also has quality recent posts on warmaking and police work and the South and Adlai Stevenson's 1956 campaign.
