Growing up I always played sports in the street with other kids in the neighborhood. I was taller than everyone else and basketball season meant I would be picked early when choosing teams. Baseball season was another story, I couldn't hit the ball very far and wasn't any better at catching or throwing. I still cringe when I remember a kid from the next block named Al Stone who was always looking for an opportunity to chide me.
"Your the best player on our team" he used to say whenever I would strike out or miss a catch.
The joke of course is I wasn't on his team.
Maersk Alabama Captain Richard Phillips attempted to escape his captors last night and the Obama Administration helped the pirates get him back.
In the middle of the night he jumped in the water and was coerced back in to the lifeboat by the pirates.
If Navy SEAL's had been deployed the Captain would have been pulled under as soon as he hit the water, a respirator placed in his mouth and the pirates would have never seen him again.
