A (mainly) blogosphere wrap-up of the pirate thingy.
Tim Blair says hit them harrrd.
Paco has a few modest proposals
Michelle Malkin pays tribute to the Navy snipers.
Jules Crittenden suggests delivering the dead pirates’ bodies back to their clansmen via airmail.
Powerline has a piece on it, too.
Jules and Powerline both like the Boston Herald’s take on this; an Easter miracle.
Andrew Bolt seems mildly pleased that Obama can kill.
The Corner similarly praises Obama.
Theospark keeps it short and sweet with a quick link to a Sky News article.
Mark Steyn on our reprimitivized future.
Brietbart has a couple of video reports on this (H/T Sister Toldjah).
American Thinker offers congratulations.
The Jawa Report has a bit on it with a link to Fox News’ take.
LGF didn’t miss it; link to Brietbart article.
Unlikely that Ace of Spades would have ignored this one.
Jules’ take before any pirates got themselves dead.
Anyway, that should do it for now. After all, there’s that Tea Party coming up on Wednesday (H/T Insty).
PS And Atlas Shrugs urges that Obambi doesn’t cut the military.
UPDATE
Thanks Breitbart. CNN delves. Favourite quote? “Each pirate was shot in the head.”
UPDATE II
Philips: “Thanks, guys. Thank you very much. You’re real.”
UPDATE III
Will Obama grow some balls and attack?

A bit O/T: How the hell can I permanently disable this snap preview rubbish? I turn it off every time I visit here, and then next time I come by its back again.
Its really giving me the s**ts…

I didn’t know you could turn it off, Wiz. It drives me nuts, too.
But apart from that: Blackfive is also onto the rescue, including the intriguing thought that Barry didn’t have a whole lot to do with the rescue. He just stfu and stayed out the way.
