1. Oh...jeez...this is hardly news to any of us over 50. Does the media

ever do anything substantial anymore?

[Coastie for Truth]

2. Old News

[no_hypocrisy]

3. That can't be true. Marlon Brando took care of Lee J. Cobb but good in

On The Waterfront. It's been taken care of . . .

4. Are they the ones keeping out the terrorists?

Think about it. Terrorists are bad for business, no matter how illegal the business is.

And organized criminals are Americans too. :)

5. Could they be any worse than Halliburton?

Over at CNN the question was: Who would you trust to run the ports Arab companies or the US Mafia? The Mafia was winning with 64%.

The Mafia guys I knew up in Detroit were all solid Republicans. They were big Nixon supporters.

6. i bet you'd get similar results if you switch

the us mafia, with the gop.

[alfredo]

7. No, the GOP would legalize their crimes, the Mafia doesn't have

that power at this time.

8. HBO's 2nd season of "The Wire" dealt with longshoremen "on the take"

An underemployed longshoreman can be quite vulnerable to mafia or terrorist persuasion to look the other way.

9. Just an excuse to bust unions

That's SOP for the GOP. Bust unions by using mob infiltration as an excuse, but ignore, condone, or even encourage mob infiltration of corporations and corporate-controlled government. :mad:

10. did this get moved from "Late Breaking News?"

:D

yeah, seems like maybe the docks and mafia go back about 100 years
