Conservative newsrag the National Review hosts a sea cruise every year. This year, they're going to the Mediterranean. And three "affordable" double-occupancy state rooms just opened up for only $2,999 a person.

Two years ago, the National Review Cruise was to Alaska. A pre-VP nominee Sarah Palin made a point of hanging out with the cruisers in Alaska. I went to the pre-cruise dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House and was flabbergasted by all that I saw and heard. If you and your significant other have serious self-loathing issues and six thousand dollars to blow, I cannot recommend these people enough for entertaining vacation-mates.
