I thought Somalis wore flowing robes.

Pirate: Aye, it's a fine mess we're in! We're runnin' out of booty!
President: Have you tried Craigslist?

When President Obama informed CEO John Silver that his corporation only qualified for $68 billion, Silver replied, "ARRRRG!"

So a pirate and his parrot walk into the Oval Office. President Obama looks at them and says, "Hey! You can't come in here with that thing!!"
The parrot looks at Obama and replies, "Well, then I guess I'll have to sh!t on your carpet!"

President Barack Obama confers with the new White House Chef de Cuisine as to final menu arrangements for the dinner honoring the Commander of the Somalian Navy.

He stole that parrot from my shed!

That's Joe Biden. They're now making the parrot speak on his behalf.
Posted by: Siouxie | May 20, 2009 at 07:04 PM
Glad to see Joe finally decided to color his hair.

Curses! Foiled again!

I think the President is asking him where he got those b*tch'en pants.
Posted by: Flukey | May 20, 2009 at 08:00 PM
Suddenly the President understands why his teleprompter had nothing but a long string of RRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs on the monitor.

Dave's old rival for the presidency, Captain Morgan, meeting with his other old rival in the White House? This can't be good for the 2012 election.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | May 20, 2009 at 09:07 PM
Captain Morgan has apparently been promoted to Sec. of the Navy.

- ReplyOh boy, here we go - Arrrrrr, Arrrrr, Arrrrrr! Curse you, Dave Barry, for taking pirate mockery out of the realm of the cool kids, and cheapening it, making it a thing of tarnish and mental rot. Not a single morsel of wit is left to be uncovered in a realm left as miserable and barren as a salt flat.

It's a high level summit to discuss whether the sun is above or below the yardarm.

He sure doesn't look Somali.

This is *not* my father!
And what's up with the little plastic "hooker" on his hand? Can't he afford a real one?
If he were a *real* pirate, he would have burned down the White House, stolen the silverware, and not posed for a photo-op!
I'm hereby revoking his membership in the PGA (Pirate Guild of America). Quick, Siouxie and Annie? Confiscate his balls!

Hey...we Canadians burned down the White House in 1829, and look where that has got us....both countries last month just started another trade war...
Posted by: Afkat | May 21, 2009 at 02:15 AM
OK it was 1812, not 1829...but you get my drift

We all know the Wall Street wankers are pirates, it's good to see them dress the part

Obama: I really appreciate your ideas, Captain, but I don't think it would be cost effective to change the nations' currency to dubloons.

So, you're a lefty bowler, I take it?

while looking for help to remove the brine filling his ship, the pirate captain was surprised to learn that in washington a bailout has nothing to do with water removal.

Once again, President Obama makes an attempt to reach out to the Republican party!
Posted by: Moon | May 21, 2009 at 12:06 PM
Let me guess, the guy on the left is dressed that way because he wasn't watching his credit rating?
