SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – AT 11:55 P.M. ET: 

INTERACTION NEWS – From AFP:  "Washington (AFP) - President Barack Obama and Cuban counterpart Raul Castro will have an 'interaction' when they attend next week's Summit of the Americas in Panama, a US official said Friday.  Clearly President Obama knew when he made the decision to go to the summit, and he knew that Cuba had been invited to the summit...that there would be an interaction,' US State Department official Roberta Jacobson said at the Brookings Institution. 'The leaders are together a lot of the time. And so there will be an interaction with Raul Castro,' she added, declining to speculate about the nature of any possible meeting between the two leaders."   I just can't wait.  I cannot wait!  This will save America – interaction with Raul Castro.  I do hope that Obama will bring with him something to surrender.  He's so good at that.

THE ANNALS OF REAL ESTATE – It is reported that Hillary Clinton has rented office space in Brooklyn, New York.  As they say, there goes the neighborhood.  Apparently, the premises will serve as her campaign headquarters.  From The Hill:  "Hillary Clinton has reportedly signed a lease for a likely campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, a sign her White House campaign launch is imminent.  NBC News and Politico report that Clinton will lease space in two floors of a Brooklyn Heights building that once housed offices for Loretta Lynch, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York nominated to serve as attorney general.  The move comes as Clinton World gears up for a widely expected presidential run. She has hired staff in early primary states, staffed up her communications team and made other top hires."  I grew up in Brooklyn, a fanatical fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers.  They left Brooklyn, and Hillary is coming.  It's a very bad deal.

DOWN IN THE DUMPS NEWS – From London's Daily Mail.  "The majority of people taking antidepressants may not actually have depression, a new study claims.  Researchers discovered more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of people taking antidepressants did not meet the criteria for major depressive disorder, which is also known as clinical depression.  Antidepressants are also prescribed for other psychiatric disorders.  But the researchers found 38 per cent of those taking the drugs did not meet the criteria for obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia or generalised anxiety disorder either."  No, but they voted for Obama, and that's the cause of the problem.  The only medications that would help are Walkermicin or Rubiocillin.
