Argh you ready?: Kidder Co. Pirates prepare for state Class B

Argh you ready?: Kidder Co. Pirates prepare for state Class B It’s a feeling long past due for Kidder County boys’ basketball coach Paul Olson, but the wait is finally over. The Pirates, for the first time since 1991, have extended their season to the state’s big dance in Minot.

What others think: Pirates had to be stopped

Critics of President Barack Obama will find some excuse to censure him over the rescue from pirates of an American sea captain.
