Kathryn, I don't understand why you keep dragging Taylor Swift into discussions about conservative politics. What does she have to do with the conservative movement or the Republican Party? She is a commercial music artist who sells records to teen and tween girls. I don't see any political connection - we are talking about apples and oranges here. For some reason you seem to have been brainwashed into believing that Taylor represents your side in a culture war, a belief for which there is no evidence. Your political commentaries raise many good points, but I think you are mistaken on this issue.

LKJ : 11/10/11 01:23There's some kind of symmetry to The Band Perry taking down three CMA awards while the number three is so much crueler to Governor Perry on this evening.

Still waiting for some heroic waiter on said cruise to persuade the crew to abandon ship one night.

The irrepressible Nordlinger reviewed his own magazine's cruise. Excerpt:
Where were we? In any case, our first panel, aboard the ship, is with Paul Johnson and David Pryce-Jones. Do two people constitute a panel? I guess not — in any case, we had a nice talk. We talked about matters artistic and architectural: Versailles, Chartres, the Eiffel Tower. We talked about the royal wedding (Wills ’n’ Kate). We talked about Syria, America, and sundry other matters.
Were P.J. and P-J brilliant and inspiring? Can you make a shoe smell? (Line from Caddyshack.)

On a peaceful afternoon, floating down the Seine, I hear a church bell in the distance. I check my BlackBerry, thinking a text has come in. (My signal, or whatever the word is, sounds rather like a bell.) Is that a bad sign — that one is too BlackBerry-oriented?
I suppose there are better ways to pass an afternoon than to float down the Seine, talking with Priscilla Buckley and Paul Johnson. But I can’t imagine there are many . . .
I meet a young woman, from the eastern side of Germany. She was born shortly before reunification. I think how lucky such people are: to have avoided a life under Communism. Good timing.

Annie G.: 11/10/11 09:29We stopped watching the debates at about #3. We don't get to hear EACH candidate address EACH issue, so what is the point? It's like watching the teacher pick her favorites over and over.Are we the only ones with a DVR? As with most programs, we recorded the awards show to be able to skip through the commercials (and bands we don't like) tonight.And Taylor Swift is tiresome, not a country musician, and all her songs sound alike.[Approved commenter] DirkBelig: 11/10/11 11:42Perhaps, but she is super super cute and if she had a larger bust - nothing crazy, just a generous B-cup would break up the vertical line - she'd be one of the most beautiful women on the planet. And the fact that she's not a party girl train wreck like Lindsey Lohan is a plus.

They are all here — and so many more. Have already run into old friends, loyal NR cruise-goers, and some new ones, in the hallways here. — Live from the USS NR.
I finally got to meet Mr. & Mrs. @andrewklavan in person last night, after all these years …
Cannot wait for you to join us on one of these! There will be #nrcruise Twitter (@kathrynlopez) updates, connection permitting.
