A stocky fellow was he. Was he living too high on the Union hog?

When marine biologists cut this whale open, they found in his guts a lot of plastic ocean debris, parts of some congressmen, and dozens of bundles of $100 bills.

“unexpectedly”
\
Story reminds me of time I was waiting at a home for a double date girl I had not met. The other couple and she had not gotten there yet so I was sitting with her mother in a nice cottage style house in NJ. Not having much to say to keep a conversation going, I pointed out the house was nicely appointed. My soon to be date’s mom blurts out, yeah, it was nice till Andy (her husband) got shot in front of home and bled all over the rugs last week! Seems Andy was a union VP and on the outs with the group. I was kind of surprised by all of it but it was a union matter and in NJ so I guess it was normal.

Trumka was a fat slob who was seen boozing it up around DC watering holes. No shock

Gosh, remember the old days when labor leaders died unexpectedly it was from a car bomb or a shotgun blast?

Yes, or something else suitably dignified for a Teamster boss.
