Cuba - Caribbean

Travel

If you want to go to Cuba, you can't just go online and book a trip. Well, actually for a while, you could do it on Travelocity — only it wasn't legal. The travel website just paid $180,000 in fines to the U.S. government for violating the 45-year-old embargo against Cuba. It booked almost 1,500 trips to the island between 1998 and 2004. Travelocity is the first online travel company to get in trouble over this. A spokesman said the trips went through because of "technical failures."

I've just listened to Mr. Stein's concern for the poor working man. No doubt he drove his Bronco to the station to make his plea for the common man. Honestly, Ben Stein weeping for the common man's fate? After my sides stopped hurting from laughing ...
