All that really matters is who the public ends up blaming.


As somebody in the press pointed
out today, the public generally gives
a rats ass about these shutdowns
and forgets about them almost before
they're over. If they were even aware
of them to begin with.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I agree with this.

By the time the November elections comes around, no one will remember this shutdown.

Carnival Elation docked in Freeport Bahamas where police arrested traveling companion of woman who had died in three deck fall from her room.

Meanwhile another Carnival cruise line vessel left New Orleans bound for Cozumel but apparently had a woman fall overboard though ship has no idea when or where.

Just be sure to take pics so you can share the horrors of sewage backed up in the room, or being hijacked by pirates.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

For a while I wanted to go on a cruise, but it has now lost its appeal. I might go on an Eastern Caribbean cruise once to make sure that my suspicions around cruising is accurate.

Yes. It was sarcasm.

Most cruises go without major incidents. That hubby who died on his honeymoon was an aberration but its never the peaceful Disney like experience depicted in the brochures.
