They're digging up Jimmy Hoffa in Michigan.
Just in on CNN. They're searching a home in Michigan, based on a tip. It has something to do with Hoffa's disappearance.

That's all I have.

19. Well, according to a CIA source named "Screwball"...
Iran is responsible for his murder, and they used some sort of long-range chemical weapon.

55. For everything
Clinton flew the first jet into the WTC, parachuted out, landed in the second jet and flew that into the other tower. It's easy for him.

He also assassinated President Kennedy. I'll bet you didn't know that. And Bobby Keendy and Martin Luther King, too. And let's not forget Abraham Lincoln. Clinton was John Wilkes Booth in a former life.

And all this shit Bush has been doing? Aha, it's Clinton's fault. Gotcha.

54. I have no doubt if it would serve their interests to make a case for this,
they would. But, in the meantime, they just "don't spend much time" thinking about Osama...:evilfrown:

Breaking News: FBI Digs for Hoffa in Milford
By Cheryl Chodun
Web produced by Seth Myers
May 17, 2006

A group of FBI investigators is searching an area in rural Milford, near Wixom, in connection with the 1975 disappearance of Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa.

Investigators have cordoned off a section of what appears to be farm property where the bones of the long-missing union official may lie.

From Chopper 7, a group of law enforcement officials could be seen digging a ditch, by hand, on the property at 5 p.m. Wednesday.

28. It walked
Actually, he was last seen alive in a restaurant parking lot not far from where they're digging. Being that it was most likely a mob execution, that makes sense.

48. Heh. I was referring to the ancient rumor of burial at Giant's
Stadium in New Jersey. Where he was last seen never seemed to dampen that rumor...Dontcha know the Mafia shipped all of their stiffs to New Jersey for burial in construction projects or landfills?

34. He's been a punchline for a long time
in fact, at a previous place of work, my desk was so messy people used to accuse me of hiding Jimmy Hoffa there.

I am sure his family is very relieved, and wish them peace.

35. I have a friend who managed the Pontiac Mich landfill during
that time. It was a dangerous job because he had to deal with the mob on a daily basis. The morning after Hoffa disappeared my friend noticed that a bunch of garbage and some machinery had been moved around over night. Nothing gets moved or dumped without his say so. A gully (his description) was filled in over night.

My friend, being a father and desiring to live to a ripe old age said nothing.

who needed a corrupt Union official of their very own. They didn't have any and it made them sad.

that they'd found Hoffa in a maternity ward, organizing labor.

42. ***Update. Same horse farm they've been at before. They now
have a new tip that corroborates all the old ones. I was kind of hoping, "They buried him under 6-96" would end up to be true. :)

44. I'm from the SCS/Grosse Pte area and the story we always heard
was under 6-96, but the neighbors being interviewed at the horse farm this morning said this is the third time they've been digging there this year. It's based on a new tip about that area that corroborates the old ones. I think every county in MI has its own theory.

With all respect to his family, I have to say, I've always dug the mystery. It's part of Metro Detroit's culture at this point!

51. Here we go. Another one of 'those' headlines.
Searching a property in Michigan is hardly "digging up Jimmy Hoffa." They have searched many properties over the past years with no results. For that matter, according to rumors, there may be nothing to ever "dig up."
