Cruise line: 350 sick aboard ship in Caribbean
"About 350 people who got sick a week into a Caribbean cruise were responding well to medicine, the cruise line said Tuesday.
Celebrity Cruise spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez said 326 of the more than 1,800 passengers on the Celebrity Mercury began complaining Sunday of upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhea. Martinez says 27 of the nearly 850 crew members also reported symptoms."
We just returned from a fabulous cruise on the Celebrity Millennium and the crew was everywhere cleaning and making the ship free from bacteria and other maladies. There had been a norovirus outbreak on the cruise before ours.

We had a wonderful 10 days.
Bummer for the folks on the Mercury and the stockholders of RCL.
Boomtime for the class action scum-lawyer friends of Obama and the rest of the democrats.
Planned Parenthood sweeps child rape under the pro-abortion rug
Planned Parenthood sweeps child rape under the pro-abortion rug: "In case you think this was an isolated incident, think again:
Last month, Students for Life of America released a video of another college student posing as a 15-year-old girl asking about emergency contraception because of sex with her mother's 30-something live-in boyfriend. The staffers acknowledge this as statutory rape, but a Public Records Request filed by the student organization revealed that no report had been filed by Planned Parenthood, even though the law requires a report.
Last year, Live Action Films had students pose as racists to tape phone calls in which several Planned Parenthood chapters accepted donations on the condition that the money be used to abort black babies only. No chapter turned down the money.
Also last year, Rose videotaped a California PP staffer telling her to lie about her age so that the staffer wouldn't have to report anything under the statutory rape laws here. She was posing as a 15-year-old pregnant by her 23-year-old boyfriend. 'You could say 16', the worker suggests. 'And I don't know anything.' Planned Parenthood responded by threatening a lawsuit against Rose."

Global warming advocates ignore the boulders
Global warming advocates ignore the boulders
"Last week, Todd Stern, America's special envoy for climate change -- yes, there is one; and people wonder where to begin cutting government -- warned that those interested in 'undermining action on climate change' will seize on 'whatever tidbit they can find.'
Tidbits like specious science, and the absence of warming?
It is tempting to say, only half in jest, that Stern's portfolio violates the First Amendment, which forbids government from undertaking the establishment of religion.
A religion is what the faith in catastrophic man-made global warming has become.
It is now a tissue of assertions impervious to evidence, assertions that everything, including a historic blizzard, supposedly confirms and nothing, not even the absence of warming, can falsify"
