Rissoles had to be more than 70. That would have made 20 years old in sixty four, 26 in seventy when the Black Panthers were getting started. Unjust can’t see it. He had to be older.

Look at the date of the article. Like me, you’ve been fooled!

And now, decades later, they act like Attila the Hun.

Same here, FRiend! When I first saw this, I thought he aged pretty well for a 95 year old fella. And in other news, I hear that Fransisco Franco is also not longer with us. :)

They could use a guy like Franco over in Greece right about now.

He’d have turned 95 this year. His son, Frank, Jr., turns 72 in a couple weeks.

Wait..what? Am I having a flashback? I left Philly in ‘87, but it keeps haunting me. Papa Rizzo was the king when I was growing up. Philly was nice back then.

It’s amazing what a pol could say before fascistic-Stalinist political correctness.

Don't be silly.

Breaking News is preoccupied with the passing of Hizzoner Richard J. Daley.
