" Morning Briefing " story - duh ?

Even after a strong cup of coffee, this " Morning Briefing "

    story on page A2, Jan. 26, made no sense : " Police say couple

    had bomb in McDonald's ".  The two were " arrested for

    allegedly planting a bomb in a McDonald's restroom ".

          But according to the prosecutor, " the pair were attempting

     apparently to get rid of the bomb ... and were not targeting

    the McDonald's on Southern Artery ".

            Allowing for congenital idiocy here ,  how do you

     just get rid of a bomb by leaving it in a McDonald's

    restroom ?  Would not the middle of a woods be a better

    place for  an " infernal device " ?

            I note that the five children of the accused , Lorraine

    Trombetta, were removed by the state last year " after being

    found living in a filthy house . ".  Has the editor of

    " Good Housekeeping "  been appointed chief of a state

    welfare department ?

             Perhaps the whole family - including boyfriend, Martin

    Niven- would be less dysfunctional in Castro's Cuba ?
