There’s still time to join us on our
Voyage to the Great Lakes
this summer for vivifying conversation with an all-star
conservative cast.
But only a few cabins on our gilded vessel remain — which means
that if you’re sitting on the fence now, you might be left there,
daydreaming of what could have been, while the rest of us cavort
through the sapphire waves.
Lest that agony befall you, I’ll give the pitch once more, this
time in my most serious and persuasive tone:
Should you join us, we will embark from the thriving port city of
Detroit on the 257-foot Yorktown. A veritable floating
right-wing conspiracy will be on board, including such luminaries
as Grover Norquist, John H. Fund, George Gilder, Jay Nordlinger,
and John J. Miller.
By day, you’ll learn about the history and culture of the Great
Lakes region, see the towering Chicago skyline from the water, and
travel through locks between lakes Superior and Huron; and by
night, you’ll mix and mingle with prominent thinkers in politics
and journalism.
Our experienced captain will do his best to evade the hostile
Canadian navy completely. And if you’re lucky, I might regale the
whole ship with my rendition of, “The Wreck of the Edmund
Fitzgerald.”
So what do you say? For more information, visit spectator.org/cruise.
Reserve your space today by calling 800-257-5767!

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Can you show us the route the Purple Gang used to smuggle in liquor from Canada during Prohibition? Perhaps serve some Old Log Cabin whiskey too.

Norquist = GOProud and CAIR...

I know, I know, if you have to ask how much you can't afford it.
Maybe guys this could be the blogger convention we keep talking about. Old Log Cabin is too sweet. Try Laguvulin or Lafroigh but for Bourbon Maybe Wild Turkey 101.

Since I can't attend, will you be selling music downloads of your "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" rendition?

How I do love the Great Lakes in summer.
Sigh...
Sadly, I am a car salesman and am suffering from Obamaeconomy syndrome, and can barely pay my bills.
Would that I could, I would take my lovely bride on this cruise and show her the land of my youth.
Smooth sailing AmSpecers!

Lost me with Norquist. He's a Faux conservative if there ever was one. The poster above who mentioned GOPround and Cair nailed him to the wall. With those two things on his CV there isn't a thing he could do to expunge that from his hide. He's permanently stained.

Can't say I'm wild about Gilder, either.

TYRELL....!!!!! IF YOU PEOPLE PERSONALLY INVITE CLINT to join you on your pleasure cruise free of charge (his mom probably won't spot him the money) I give my word that I will donate $100.00 to the cause....!!!!
He can room with Hillyer and Antle! It would also do my heart good for Goldstein to have to room with Jack in Wi....but I won't donate an Obama Nickel to his nasty butt.
Hillyer and Antle don't have a hair on their backsides if they don't personally invite CLINT!!!!
CLINT

And the crowd goes wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
