Two important international events happened on Wednesday. Let me attempt to recap for you. Raul and Fidel Castro of Cuba, threatened Sony Pictures with terrorist attacks if any more reruns of  “I Love Lucy” were shown to the American public. Cuba denied they’d hacked the movie studio’s database, but the FBI traced cyber break-in’s directly to Havana. After 18-months of secret negotiations, President Obama called for a normalization of relations with Pungyeong, because “these past 50 years have shown that isolation does not work.” Obama also said that Americans could soon start to visit North Korea and that American tourists could bring back up to $100 worth of kimchi.  We also did a prisoner swap with Cuba. In exchange for Alan Gross, an American who’d been held prisoner for the past five years, Havana got Seth Rogen and James Franco. In a show of solidarity, Kim Jong Un demanded that Lucy be allowed to sing with Ricky Ricardo’s band. I’m E. Curtis Johnson…at least I think I am. I may be a little confused.
