Whitey Bulger
This one took a while. Like 16 years, but former Boston mob boss Whitey Bulger was finally captured along with his girlfriend Catherine Grieg. Bulger faces a laundry list of charges when he returns home including 19 counts of murder. Bulger and his Winter Hill Gang group of mobsters lead a reign of terror throughout Boston. The feds were about to close in on Bulger, but he was tipped off by corrupt retired FBI agent John Connolly that the FBI and Department of Justice was about to close in on him. Bulger and Grieg quickly left town.
What was a surprise was the location that Whitey Bulger was found. Thought by many to be overseas, Bulger was actually hiding away in Santa Monica, California. This case of course recieved much attention. He was on the FBI Ten Most Wanted List for a long time along with Osama bin-Laden. Something that attracted even more attention was the fact that Whitey Bulger's younger brother, Billy Bulger, was for a few years, one of the most powerful politicians in Massachusetts (who's political career was ofter marred with questions over ethics).
So there's no doubt that Bulger will finally face punishments for his sins. Including 19 murders, many of which were gruesome. I hope this brings some justice to the families of his victims. What I really wanted to know is where did he get his money from in order to be on the run for 16 years? Who (if anyone) funded him.?
Taunton Casanova
One of the funniest articles I read in the news as of late appeared in the online edition of my hometown paper the Fall River Herald News. The incident happened in Taunton, a city about 20 minutes north of Fall River. The Taunton police responded to a home expecting to find a gunshot victim. Instead, they found a man wearing boxer shorts. For discussion sakes, we'll call him Casanova. He called police that he needed to get his belongings from a nearby home of a woman who's house he was in earlier that night. We'll call her Juliette.
Casanova's and Juliette's stories differs at first. Casanova claims that he met Juliette at a bar. Juliet claims that she went to a concert with Casanova. It's after that where their stories agree with one another. Basically, the both of them got drunk and retired to her place. They were in the same bed until Juliette's other half came in and saw them in bed together.
Romeo must have been P.O.'ed because Casanova stormed out of the house. Without his shirt, pants, shoes and cell phone. He needed the police to get his belongings back.
So lesson learned for any Casanovas out there. If you meet a lady who might be interested for some late night extra curricular fun, it's a good idea to make sure she is single. It totally eliminate the chances of running into an angry boyfriend or husband. However, if it's something that you don't care about (Poets and Madmen does not condone sleeping with someone else's girlfriend. Just giving out some friendly advice) then make sure you do the following:
- Be in good shape. Do some cardio at the gym. Because you might have to run as fast as you can.
- Bring an extra set of clothes and hide an extra set of keys, just in case you leave your belongings behind.
- As always, in the name of safe sex, wear a condom.
