    Despite being one of the most famaous men in the world, ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ remains somewhat of a mystery. With so many rumours swirling around Frank Sinatra’s decades long career, it’s hard to untangle the myth from the man. The stories rang from the silly to the downright deranged, from the more boyish antics of him and his rat pack to him using his potential mafia connection to threaten the Mamas and Papas. Some of the tales are believable. It’s easy to assume that the famed singer did have some level of mob ties, but is it believable that he...
  • Source close to Trump: Fox News hosts are asking him to end his boycott so that their ratings don’t

    For all of our Trump fans, a sweet little morsel left over from yesterday’s Gabriel Sherman post about the latest eruption of the Trump/Fox war. Are there any Fox News hosts so obsequious towards Trump that they might dial him up and beg him to come back, like Johnny Fontane pleading with the Godfather to help him get that part he always wanted? Seems hard to imagine for most of them. Emphasis on “most.” One reason there likely won’t be peace in our time is that Trump still has not gotten over Kelly’s questioning of him during the opening Republican...

    An upstate councilwoman found a severed horse's head in her swimming pool on Tuesday, state police said. Wawayanda Councilwoman Gail Soro and her husband had used the pool Monday night and the head was not in the water at that time. "There have been some prior instances of harassment directed toward her, more than likely as a result of her position on the Town Board," said Lt. Pierce Gallagher. "We're looking at a threat as a possible angle. Certainly, we can't rule that out." The horse appeared to be dead for "three to four days, probably no more than a...

    A horse's head is dumped into the swimming pool of a Democrat councilwoman and the DUmmies of course blame the EVIL Republicans for this deed as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Horse’s Head Dumped in Democratic Councilwoman’s Pool." Perhaps Don Karlo Roveone made her an offer that she couldn't refuse. So let us now watch the DUmmies speculate that this horse head DUmping was committed by the Bush Crime Family in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, taking the Fifth Amendment on this charge, is in the [brackets]: Horse’s Head Dumped in Democratic Councilwoman’s...

    MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. - A councilwoman found a severed horse’s head in her swimming pool Tuesday, state police said. “We’re looking at a threat as a possible angle,” Lt. Pierce Gallagher said. “Certainly, we can’t rule that out.” There have been some prior instances of harassment directed toward Wawayanda Councilwoman Gail Soro, Gallagher said. One of the most famous scenes in “The Godfather” showed a movie mogul waking up with a horse head in his bed after he refused to bow to the will of the title character, played by Marlon Brando. Wawayanda is located 106 miles southwest of Albany.
