Costa Concordia Capitano "Lord Jim" Francesco Schettino claims he fell into the life boat by accident!

Capitano "Lord Jim" Francesco Schettino, Coward and Plagiarist
No, you cannot make this up.  Captain Francesco Schettino claims he "fell" into the lifeboat and did not abandon the ship.  Well I guess you could make it up if you were Joseph Conrad (here is the Wikipedia* link to those under 30 who do not know who Lord Jim or Joseph Conrad are).
The Other McCain and Smitty (who is in the U.S. Navy) puts the blame on feminism and cowardice.


But of course there is that other theory of who really caused this disaster...

La strega Amanda Knox  il malocchio.

              Blame Feminism for this?
              BBC:  Does the Captain have to be the last to leave the ship?

UPDATE II:  Mark Steyn suggests when the West goes down it will look a lot more like the Costa Concordia than the Titanic.  Of course, I think we all noticed this Costa Concordia disaster is a pretty good metaphor of  how the EU and the Euro as been navigated.

  2. Awesome blog! Do you have any helpful hints
    for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on
    everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
    There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thanks!

  4. Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to
    know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
