Title: A good news story
Post by bogarde73 on Jul 3^rd, 2015 at 12:34pm

On July 20 embassies of Cuba & the USA reopen in Washington & Havana.
Long overdue. One good legacy of the Obama years.

The downside. We probably won't get to see those old Packards & Oldsmobiles on the road for too much longer.

It's frequently said that people are not interested in good news stories.

This has been an experiment. The real story is this:
On July 1 at 5.oo am, a number of nuclear devices were dropped on Cuba.
Gen. Abraham Liebowitz, commander of the attack squadron, reported back on the success of the mission saying; "It was real purty. A string of mushroom clouds as far as the eye could see."
