BREAKING NEWS: Scandal rocks Madeira

Post by Roy Hersh »

I will let you Siri or Google your way to the actual story, as I want to avoid commenting on a story this is still in the midst of breaking, but the "Governor" of Madeira, that Portuguese call the "President" of Madeira, has been arrested today. Also the President of the Municipality. You can read more about this, but I just wanted to alert folks that this is going on. I have had the pleasure to meet one of these gentleman twice and it is sad news to learn here on the mainland.

Skip the political correctness rhetoric and post a link. If it’s out in the open why be scared to comment on it or post links?

When Roy first made his post, I used Google and specifically tried the "News" feature and found nothing. Today there are lots of hits--so Roy was ahead of the Google engine.
