CNN has a wrapped a frenzy around U.S. Senator Rockefeller’s statement that cruise ships are too big. And there you have it. Too big. Compared to what? Your EGO, Mr. Rockefeller? I bet that’s got some extra ballast. I’ve…
I’ve been so excited about whooping the Yanks in 1812, I lost my senses. I regained some of them on July 3rd. The rest still have a headache. Honestly, Pumpkins, if Canada Day had a name, I might not…

There is something hideously deviant going on in travel, Pumpkins. A lab in Asia is incubating live tourists. I got a press release about it! A company called the Future Laboratory is “breeding luxury travellers across Asia”. There obviously…
