How to cruise with political talking heads before the 2012 election
Skift Take
Spaces are still open on the yearly liberal or democratic-themed cruises that give citizens the opportunity to chat with well-known political commentators only months, or weeks, away from the election.
How many times have said to a talking head on FoxNews, “Boy, I’d like to give him a piece of my mind?” Maybe you’ve spent hours polishing one brilliant email – only to send it out and hear nothing but a vast silence in response?
I have a much better proposition. How would you like to spend a week with dozens of political pundits collectively listening to your every word? Sounds impossible, but it isn’t. Just take one of the political-themed cruises offered every year.
