First-Class Quality at Steerage Prices!

Lisa Benson, 4/12/12:
The entire US is embarking on a journey across the Atlantic, where we will strike an iceberg -- marked "Kenyan Marxism," if I know Benson -- and then sink, killing a disproportionate number of the poor and unconnected and creating fodder for sentimental claptrap for at least the next century.

But Benson is particularly upset that rich people are being asked to pay more for their fancy accommodations on board that ship, which makes me think she hasn't thought through her metaphor quite as much as she should.
