• Hurry to Get in on Tobacco Suit, Flight Attendant Aprons Ruin Beer Surprise, James Taylor to Dress Up

  A civil suit that goes to trial in Fort Lauderdale today is expected to be the first of a wave of lawsuits against Big Tobacco in Florida courts. The widow of Stuart Hess, a locksmith from Cooper City, sued Phillip Morris after his death in 1997, claiming the cigarettes he bought were defective. About 8,000 other plaintiffs are lined up to sue Big Tobacco, and I'm one of them. Well, technically its my soon-to-be widow.Now sure, I'm not dead yet, but I'm smoking the crap out of my daily

• Buy Your Mom or Abuela a Ticket to See Julio Iglesias This Saturday at AAA

  There are few hispanophone ladies and gents of a certain age who have not been reduced, at some point, to misty eyes by the ballad stylings of the suave Spaniard Julio Iglesias. While Iglesia's true crossover peak came mainly in the 1980s, he has hardly receded from the international spotlight, cranking out at least one album a year since the turn of the millennium. Late 2006, especially, marked something of an Iglesias revival, heavily promoting his Romantic Classics best-of collection on Engli

• Hey You, Homeless Guy Who Appears to Be Airport-Bound

  What's up, homeless guy, with that suitcase you've been pulling? I've seen you hauling your worldly possessions down Andrews Avenue just about every night. It's a black carry-on, just like the one I confuse with a thousand black carry-ons at the baggage claim. You put your backpack on top of it, just like I do heading toward security. I have to say, homeless guy, it's a pretty brilliant thing. Rather than busting your ass pushing a shopping cart or slinging a bag over your shoulder, you're savin

• More Turbulence for Lauderdale Flight School

  The Federal Aviation Administration has been investigating Gulfstream International Airlines in Fort Lauderdale ever since operator error was blamed for the February 12 crash of a flight bound for Buffalo, N.Y. The regional operator has come under fire for allegedly falsifying flight logs and letting pilots fly without sufficient rest. The report finds even more violations of federal flight safety regulations. Have a look.Also, today's Wall Street Journal is reporting that Gulfstream executives

Or, technically, the lack of humanity -- because, technically, the passengers were pets and... oh... actually, the "crash" that caught my eye in this article is referring to the server for booking flights on Delray Beach-based Pet Airways. Which is the only good kind of crash in that industry, because even in an economic torpor, America
