Ok, it's a newsworthy story and I'm glad I wasn't one of the passengers. But comparing this to Hurricane Katrina? And asking them if they're glad to be back? Wow.

Briefly newsworthy? Yes. But I find it difficult to feel real sorry for people on a cruise when I’m worry about being able to buy groceries.

In a sane and just world, they’d ask if it was like Benghazi.

These passengers were treated to what it’s like to live in ghettos of New Deli India. They should have to pay more for an education like that.

When they say something like that, I wish some wit would say something like, “Oh no, it wasn’t like Katrina AT ALL. But it was EXACTLY like THE GO-GOs REUNION TOUR!”

You can hear the undertones of this event somehow being portrayed as some kind of perverse revenge against rich white people who can afford to take luxury cruises.

“CNN reporter to poop-cruise passenger: This was a little bit like Katrina, wasn’t it?”

No, it was more like a democrat sponsored demonstration, protest or other “happening”.

But comparing this to Hurricane Katrina?

Naturally the scumbag Democrat newsrooms are going to trot out Katrina, because that was Bush's storm, rather than an Ubama storm like Sandy when they want to draw a comparison.

Can’t people “go” over the side? Isn’t that what they used to do back in the day?

Surely a "coincidence," but when the poopy cruise was out at sea, Mercola ran this article: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/02/14/normal-stool.aspx

Why no, it wasn’t like Katrina. It was more like a combination between a Democrat convention and Occupy Wall Street.

Those people haven’t showered in days, haven’t even been able to wash their hands after going to the bathroom (in bags), so it amazed me that some of them immediately made a show for the cameras and talked to the media. I think my first impulse would have been to find a vat of bleach and jump into it.....I wouldn’t be planting my greasy self in front of a camera.

I saw a clip about the cruise ship on the local newschannel. One passenger had taken a sheet and gotten hundreds to sign it, like a cast. One wag wrote in verse:

“Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Use a red bag
When you #2.”

—Because that’s what they had to do.

All of those passengers are fully qualified OWS protesters now. They know what it’s like to live in their own filth under makeshift tarps.

We shopped for and even priced cruises for a family vacation for this spring, but we decided to put our money into chrome-molybdenum steel, brass, and lead instead. You can get a surprising amount of precious metals for the price of a cruise.
