Too many sweets in the Cargo Hold in Panama

Ever since I sent my new baseball scout, John Galt to Panama to find the next Mariano Rivera he has been a tad bit distracted by the sweet nectar's of Panamanian women. As John Galt gets more acquainted with the sugar trade, I think his work will improve. John surprised me this morning with a Skype conference. The noticeable pile of bugger sugar and Panamanian women in the background made me assume he was not doing the right scouting.
Nonetheless, he surprised me with an early investigative report of a North Korean flagged Chong Chon Gang carrying sophisticated missile equipment from Cuba headed to North Korea. The missiles were hidden in the sugar cargo holds while trying to transit the Panama Canal. Alarming to think this was coincidentally happening the same night America was introduced to Yoenis Cesepedes, a Cuban born baseball player. Cesepedes was launching missiles of his own in the home run derby at Citi Field in New York last night.

Its amazing how the news covers ever angle of the George Zimmerman trail, but missiles being shipped to North Korea is bottom ticker news. Hmm ho hum.. just North Korea getting some Nucs from Cuba. I want to thank John Galt for his breaking news. Little more baseball and less modern day Graham Greene novel.
