A Week at Sea on a Ship of Fools

John Lofton / The American View:
In George Orwell's "1984" there is a place of interrogation called Room 101 in which one character says is "the worst thing in the world" for the interrogatee. It is said that this worst thing in the world "varies from individual to individual. It may be burial alive, or death by fire, or by drowning, or by impalement, or fifty other deaths. There are cases where it is some quite trivial thing, not even fatal." So, what's in Room 101 for me as "the worst thing in the world?" Well, high on the list, contending for the top spot, is the prospect - just the threat - of being at sea for seven days and seven nights on a cruise ship with William Kristol and Fred Barnes, both of "The Weekly Standard" magazine, both charter members of the neo-conservative gang of warmongers that brought us our unGodly, unConstitutional, unnecessary murderous debacle in Iraq.
