Posted on April 19, 2003 by marc

Eating apparently wasn’t going to be a problem for American Airline execs, at least until their unions found out about new executive comp plans and raised the roof with their objections.

Posted on April 18, 2003 by marc

Rep. Kino Flores of Mission has introduced a resolution that would make tortilla chips and salsa the official state snack.

Trent Lott: How Could You?

Posted on December 9, 2002July 21, 2007 by marc

Miss Cleo Settles with FTC

Posted on November 14, 2002 by marc

Miss Cleo’s psychic hot line agreed Thursday to cancel $500 million in customer bills. Read the CNN.com story.
