Drama is mounting, reader. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I'm not just talking about the Selena/Hailey 'mean girls' saga — I'm fascinated by the Salesforce spectacle.

Welcome back! Dan DeFrancesco in NYC. Let's play a game. An American Airlines passenger rushed the cockpit after she couldn't get a drink. But before you read the story, can you guess what type of cocktail she was after? Hint: Go with your gut.
