Recently, I have noticed that The Nation really is a better magazine than The Progressive. For one thing, it comes out weekly and so is able to better keep up on what is happening. However, I don’t think The Nation is that great.
This morning, I got an email message from Victor Navasky and Katrina vanden Heuvel at The Nation. This was not unusual, as I get something from them every week. But this message was different.
They were inviting me on a cruise.
Really:
“A floating palace of populism.”
That’s how Jim Hightower—a guest on numerous Nation cruises—once characterized it. And now is the time to book your trip with us on our 15th annual seminar cruise. The best cabins are going fast.
A liberal cruise?! How I wish this were a joke. I like John Nichols; in fact, I am about to read The S Word. But I don’t want to go on a cruise with him. What kind of freaks would go on this cruise?
