I strayed onto the National Review from google news. (I feel dirty) But you can go on a cruise with these people.

That would be my idea of a holiday from hell.

What's your holiday from hell?
Who would you least like to get stuck on a cruise ship with?

the disney one with ebert abd roeper, it had mickey wander into a screening of the grey zone.

That's very funny even if I don't really understand what you just said.

Ed's sounds about right, except I'd find I was sharing a cabin with ship's cook Jamie Oliver.

four years pass...

A reporter from the Independent goes on one of the National Review cruises and reports back

It's pretty much what you would expect, but still... Goddamn.

Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

haha all those people are horribly brain damaged

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 18 July 2007 19:37 (eighteen years ago)

This circulated the political blogosphere a month ago. N-Pod has always been a nutter; his autobiography Making It is one of the most hysterical (in every sense) books every written. I've been liking Buckley the more I read his work and the testimonials attesting to what a gentleman he is.

The best rendition of liberal smugness is the party in Manhattan.

"light conversational fascism." johann hari is a good writer!

J.D., Thursday, 19 July 2007 08:15 (eighteen years ago)

Ed, Thursday, 19 July 2007 09:45 (eighteen years ago)

Seriously, ILX world FAP on the NRO cruise would be hilarious.

Ed, Thursday, 19 July 2007 09:57 (eighteen years ago)

holiday from hell: staying at a resort hotel in chiapas

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:10 (eighteen years ago)

I want to be at the dinner table with Ned, Tombot and WFB Jr.

Ed, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:14 (eighteen years ago)

dude i'm ready that indy article and it is really good

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:16 (eighteen years ago)

she has a very different style, but the whole setup is straight hunter s. thompson

Tracer Hand, Thursday, 19 July 2007 10:17 (eighteen years ago)

alfred have you ever seen the famous tv confrontation between buckley and gore vidal?

I'm not sure who wins that one. "Crypto-Nazi" isn't as great a comeback as threatening to sock your goddamn face."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 19 July 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)

William Buckley is great in debates.

Also I just remembered this:

Dr. Webster: Now I think the first thing we should do is pick out a name for you and I think that you should pick it. Do you know what you want your name to be? What?
Bob: Judy Finkel!
Dr. Webster: Judy Finkel is a nice name, but it's a woman's name.
Bob: Okay!
Dr. Webster: No, it's not okay! You really should have a man's name. Now I want you to think of a man's name, something that suits you.
Bob: William F. Buckley!
Dr. Webster: There already is a William F. Buckley.
Bob: Okay! William G. Buckley!
Dr. Webster: I think you should have your own name, a name that's not like a famous person's.
Bob: Bob! Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga! Anyone famous named Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga?
Dr. Webster: I doubt it!
