MOGADISHU, Somalia - US Senator Arlen Specter announced today he is switching parties again, after only a few days as a Democrat. Sen. Specter has agreed to join the Somali Pirate Party (SPP) and will represent their interests in the United States. When he initially switched from being a Republican to a Democrat, he knew that he would catch heat from Republicans, who didn't like him anyway. But then some Democrats started complaining that he would be skipping ahead in seniority and would not support the Employee Free Choice Act.

Upon realizing that he was getting static from almost every part of the political spectrum, Sen. Specter decided that he'd had enough and was going to side with the only group he could think of that was not politically schizophrenic.

"We're just thrilled to have him aboard", said Captain "G", a leading Pirate figure and former SPP chairman.



Sen. Specter, addressing the media, was very curt in his assessment of the Washington establishment. "Screw them," he said, "I'm going to be a goddamn pirate. Where's my parrot?"
