The Pirates Den

Hi readers. I've been a very bad boy and not posted anything regular for a long time. I'm sorry about this and will try and do beter but sometimes it seems to not really make any difference any way. I have recieved a lot of nice comments of late and I cannot possibly tell you how much I appreciate each and every one of them. Despite my lack of enthusiasm they do make me see some reason to keep writing and will work on being back more often.

One thing I did want to make a comment on. Even before the winds of Hurricane Katrina had died away people were complaining that the response was too slow and that help was distrubuted on a racial basis. There are two things we need to remember: (1) The mayor of New Orleans (as stupid a man that has ever drawn breath) is an African American and (2) as soon as they name a hurricane Jasmeka, Taisha, Nashawna, Rashan, Jamal, or Shandrel there will be room for gripping.

Again, thanks for all the positive feedback and I'll work hard to do better.
