In Heaven as it is on Earth
The Nation just sent out this e-mail:
Imagine this...
Sunday...dinner with The Reverend Jesse Jackson.
Monday...an intimate acoustic concert with Jackson Browne.
Tuesday...Relaxing on the beach in Curacao next to Jeremy Scahill.
Wednesday Night...at the blackjack table with Victor Navasky.
Thursday...cocktails with Katrina vanden Heuvel.
What's going on here? Did you die and go to heaven?
No, that's what you'll find on this year's Nation Magazine Seminar Cruise to the Caribbean.
Sounds heavenly. I know I've had dreams about that exact week long itinerary.
My question: Does everyone on the trip get to relax next to Jeremy Scahill on the beach in Curacao? And will there be an opportunity to rub sun screen all over his muckraking physique? There's only so much Scahill to go around. These lefty mags never get supply and demand, do they?

I haven't died yet and gone to heaven, but the cruise is still a couple months away.
Will there be "Y.M.C.A." karaoke with Katha Pollitt?
"Cryptic Crossword" marathon solving sessions on the Lido Deck?
Jamaican barkeeps mixing up "Shock Doctrine" cocktails with the assistance of Naomi Klein?
I need to go. It's gotta be more fun than those American Spectator cruises where they fire bazookas at passing Greenpeace vessels.
I'd sit in a corner with Patricia J Williams, get real drunk and gripe about everyone else. Then vomit on Cockburn.
If only Hitchens were still with them, the drunken arguments would be worth watching.
