Introducing the 1st Air America Radio Cruise

***
Just got an e-mail notice about the first “Air America Radio Cruise.” The boat is going to lean so far left that I fear for the passengers’ safety:

Carbon offset fraud included:

Jon Elliott, by the way, is the hysterical loon who suggested that hysterical loon Randi Rhodes was mugged by the vast right-wing conspiracy.

“In addition to all the wonderful activities aboard ship and in port, this exclusive Air America event includes:”

Private seminars and ad-hoc sessions.
Access to, and dining with, guest speakers.
Private receptions.
Traveling with like-minded individuals.

Talk about a ship of fools.

    I think a new contest should be to “Name this Cruise Ship”.

    S.S. Minnow possibly????

    The Love Boat?? That’s very funny though about the boat tilting over to the left.

    It doesn’t look like Holland America actually sponsored the cruise. Any group can charter parts of cruises. It’s a selling point for the charter, not an endorsement by the cruise line. I find the arrangement funny because Holland America is one of the most conservative cruise lines (you pay more to get more space per passenger) and the line is geared for an older crowd (napkin folding, anyone?). If anything, these Air America clowns better mind their Ps & Qs – rowdy and disruptive passengers have been known to be put off their ships at the nearest port of call. I can tell you this – if they p*ss of the well-heeled crowd, they’ll be toast. A good question for the Air America clowns is why they didn’t charter with Windjammer cruises – a more eco-friendly choice as 90% of the time they are using sail power. Guess they’d rather use ‘carbon credits’ to offset their indulgence.

    PS – Carbon Credits are like the points on Whose Line Is It Anyway? – made up and totally useless.

    Mixer14: My guess is money funnel… I sponsor a child in Guatemala (Plan International). I can say for sure that Guatemala is a jungle. The hardest part of substance farming there is keeping the jungle from reclaiming the fields. But if they are actually paying to plant trees in a jungle, the children doing the planting are most likely paid with rice & beans.

    I was wondering who this Cenk Uygur is so I found and read (painfully) a couple of his columns. A truly obnoxious, self-absorbed, religion-hating liberal. A sample:

    “Think about it, how uncomfortable would the summers be if we didn’t have air conditioning? I’d have trouble sleeping at night and driving around in those hot cars would be unbearable. Thank God we invented air conditioning.”

    He nailed it. That’s the true spirit of Thanks-giving.

    I don’t even know where to start with that but I am thankful for not being on that cruise. Listening to these raving lunatics would force me to either toss them or myself overboard.

    A few random thoughts:

    Better keep Ms. Rhodes away from the guardrail.

    Moonbat women yelling “Stop the war” after a few drinks starts to sound a lot like “Schtuup the whore.” (This thought has no relation to the former thought. Remember they are random.)

    At sea, they won’t need to be worried about President Bush screwing them. (Again, it’s random. No relationship to the previous thought. I promise.)

    Overheard after the magician’s show: “He REALLY DID saw her in half, and I can PROVE it.”

    Don’t know if the left screw won’t be working, but for sure it will be loose.

    ‘Dinghy’ describes more than the lifeboat.

    Advertising slogan: The only cruise where the speaker to attendee ratio is 1:1.

    Suggested name: SS Ignoramus

    If the cruise doesn’t have enough registrants, they can appeal to the fairness doctrine to try and get more people onboard.

    Cruise Director: Nancy Pelosi (Who’s better at bringing people togeter?

    I predict a new ABC spinoff – “LOST: Liberal Island”

    While on a stimulating cruise, the crew and passengers of Holland America Line’s Air America Cruise are suddenly thrust into chaos as their festivities come to a quick end when their ship is caught in a strange vortex and they find themselves marooned on an unknown island.

    Shortly after arriving, they begin to realize they are not alone on their newfound haven. Strange things begin to happen. One by one, members of their community disappear.

    They hear strange noises during the night.

    Laughter, mumbling….or is it praying?… pierces the jungle and makes them wonder “Where are we?”

    Until one day – as they trek to the other side of the island… they come across a giant wall…. and their horrific screams shake the jungle leaves as they look up and read the weathered sign above them….

    “US Government Installation – Guantanamo, Cuba – Do not proceed beyond this point – Restricted Area – Deadly Force Authorized”

    “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

    Love Boat? Nah, that’s the Hate Boat (complete with revised theme lyrics)

    Hate, decrepid and old
    Come aboard, and believe as your told
    Hate, life’s coldest reward
    Let it flow, it floats back to you

    Hate Boat soon will be making another run
    The Hate Boat promises nothing for everyone
    Set a course for dementia
    Your mind on new vitriol

    And hate won’t hurt anymore

    It’s hate

    I guess it’s only fitting to taker this operation seaside. Pirate radio stations have operated off of U.S. shores in smaller boats and have attracted far greater numbers of listeners than Air America…
