Captain Decider is clearly a pirate. He's robbed us of our civil liberties, bit by bit. He's robbed us of safety. Captain Decider, who pillages many nations. Blech.
Captain Decider has taken this country down the road to ruin. Do you think we can hold on two more years?
Not without mutiny.
I'm in. Cage the Chimp!
Okay, I'll bake the anzac biscuits for the cannons.
Me Stars an' Garters! Quite a blood-thirsty crew here, m'Lad! I LIKE 'EM!
Thanks, Cap'n! I'm always proud to sail upon your vessel!
BTW, is Sappho busy this evening?
political piracy=bad
lesbian piracy with long heave-to's at various villages full of dusky & impetious maidens=good
Three cheers for our poet laureate!

Too, good, perhaps. Seems too many Rupublicans were being cured o' th' pox with me bucket o' leeches!
See how well me crew is behavin' now that th'irons have been brought out?
Those dusky & impetuous maidens have almost worn me out this week! P.L., ye may have t'be takin' over th'heavin' to for a bit!
Aye, dusky & impetuous maidens! An' I met one t'day! Hope she be straddlin' th' plank soon! Arrrgh!
