“Hustle in Flo”

John “Junior” Gotti, son of the late organized crime boss John Gotti, has been indicted on conspiracy charges related to cocaine trafficking and three murders. Gotti has prior racketeering convictions for bribery, extortion, fraud, and gambling, but this pushes him up from the level of “gangster” to that of “gangsta.” Congratulations, Junior.

When he was released from prison in 2005, Gotti had said he had retired from his life of crime. This week’s cocaine and murder indictments illustrate just how important it is for retirees to keep active.

The indictment in Florida follows failed trials in New York in 2006 and 2007 that ended in mistrial or hung jury. The FBI had a hunch they could get Gotti in Florida based on his own claim that he retired.

This is the second time, ever, I have commented on my own blog. Why? Because, it is notable to me that there are 710 jokes here so far. This blog started in May, '07, and as a regular, at-least-twice-weekly-on-average in August '07. Considering the 100-day WGA strike ate up 3 months out of the year, plus time off for vacation, illness, and Jewish holidays, this is an impressive number of jokes, especially since no one is paying me to do this. But soon they will, my precious, soon they will...

Is commenting on your own blog like laughing at your own jokes? Still, I'm impressed. I tried a blog once, but I lost interst and spent the next two weeks on cats that look like Hitler.Darn it if some of those cats really don't look like Hitler.
