...Delta spokeswoman seemed perplexed by the whole question. First she said simply, "We direct customers to our e-mail." After more checking, she reported that Delta does have a customer-care option on its toll-free number. When I couldn't find it, she checked once more and clarified: the customer-care line is found on Delta's main corporate phone number - but that number is not publicized and "it is not suggested" that customers call it. A representative at that number said they do not take customer complaints and directed me to the website. (Read "Twittering Over JetBlue...
...most recent Rasmussen poll shows 57 percent of Americans oppose a reform bill that doesn’t include government-run insurance somewhere.

Residents have barely digested the recent news that their hurricane-insurance premiums, which...
...Critics question how some of those votes were nailed down. Pardo, the Liberal Party candidate, claims that wavering legislators were showered with perks ranging from new city halls and police stations in their home districts to the right to appoint prison wardens and contractors for public works projects - which can lead to lucrative kickbacks. Indeed, Uribe's original reelection drive four years ago was marred by a vote-buying scandal that led to the conviction and imprisonment of two lawmakers...
