"The coke you ordered has arrived Mr. The Ambassador"

Mr. Notginger, I know you don't get US news publications but the same prankster has also been sendin' these same harmless white powders to several American governors for the past couple of weeks.

When he gets picked up, we will go behind some closed doors and share a couple of laughs about the whole thing.

It's nothing. Really.

I like a joke as much as the next chap, however, there is not much to laugh about here.

The US ambassador's wife to Colombia was caught a couple of years ago on her return trip to Washington D.C. with many kilos of a white powder (Made in Colombia) but it never really got much coverage as this innocent white powder arriving now. Why?

Sorry amigo, it is not "Columbian" but Colombian ok? But anyway who knows what that mystery white powder really is, maybe only Tony Montana knows.(Al Pacino in Scar Face)

But...the decider decreed Americans are safer now so, we must not give this any thought whatsoever.

Just tighten the blinders, have some kool-aid and go shopping - that's the ticket.

The American ambassodor's wife to Colombia was not protected by her "diplomatic" immunity. Hope this white powder has nothing to do with Colombian "snow."
