All,
Echoing the grievance of Bush, many have complained that the media (i.e,
PEN-L) rarely reports the good news coming out of India, but instead
concentrate on those annoying farmers committing suicide (what a bunch
of inconsiderate bounders). Here then, to flatten the world, level the
playing field, give the underdog a word, is good reportage from the Onion!

> offer upgraded Business Caste seating on all flights starting in July.
> "More legroom, wider seats—and no need to associate with the manual

> travelers must have lived good past lives to deserve this." Air India
> still ranks at the bottom of the airline industry in customer
> satisfaction, with a high volume of complaints about cooking fires in
> the climate-uncontrolled cabins, wandering cows that flight attendants
> refuse to remove, and the "Untouchable" Coach Caste, which is towed
> behind Air India jetliners in a giant burlap sack.
