Google provided this. It's not an official response, but confirms what most of us believe: a US citizen can only be denied a passport for specific, enumerated reasons. Absent those, the application can't be denied. "Federal law entitles all U.S. citizens to a U.S. passport, but applicants...

When an airline just can't get a break: http://abcnews.go.com/US/united-airlines-passenger-stung-apparent-scorpion-flight-canada/story?id=46782894

Hilarious indeed, but found myself almost agreeing with our fictional Mr. Booker that taking a beating would be preferable to enduring one more agonizing flight.

Guess I just assumed you'd be a Barcelona fan.

Both. You can get the free version, or pay for Plex Pass that lets you do more things and adds bells/whistles, but if it's simple streaming the free version's good enough - you'll need the Plex Server app for your source computer and a Plex client for your end device. I have a smart Sony here in...

Are you sorry now?

There are a lot of "ifs." It wasn't UA people who roughed him up, but who do the "Chicago Aviation Police" report to? Sounds like they're city employees. As I remember the old Contract Law classes, if the Aviation Police can be declared to be agents of UA, then United is screwed - not for...

United lawyer: "I'd like to ask a question of you all. Please raise your hand if you've had a recent bad experience with an airline." "Uh ... your honor?"

Not a lawyer, but this should hinge on contract law, as well as the ticket's fine print. You're absolutely correct that if this had been handled pre-board there would have been no incident - nasty crap happens all the time in airports. But - if they issued him a boarding pass with seat...

When that stuff ferments ...

Hope it isn't because you don't feel appreciated here!

Yeah, it was the airline I'm flying to the US on in a couple of weeks. I'll be watching this story closely. The second-wave reports say the guy was removed to make space for United employees who needed to deadhead to their next job. My question is: did this guy have a boarding pass with an...

I've used Fibertel customer support a few times with mixed results, but usually ended up with what I wanted. Have you just called their tech support and asked "Puedo reemplazar el modem suyo con uno que yo compré, y cómo?" Never know, you might get an answer.

Enjoyed the new, indoor option. As a bonus, when we left (around 20:00) found a reasonable, more than adequate parrilla restaurant right around the corner: La Clotilde (Salguero y Cerviño).

Hey, no fair! You took all three most-used Argentine words! So, from the second tier: Pendejo Desgraciado Cuotas

Will you be there? Or are you out of town?

Unconfirmed reports say that he was seen on the streets of Asunción carrying a gas can.

See? He learns from you and is just too afraid of embarassing you to mention it.

Ben, Ben, They're just nouns and verbs. And we know, they're all interchangeable at will. Bajo knew what you were really trying to say.

Great time, and wonderful to see some of the old crowd (esp. Esteban and M), with an unexpected, surprise appearance late in the day by ... my wife! Thanks, guys.
