Here's a follow up to a couple of friends.

Thanks Ernie and Dan. To tell the truth I have no idea what the reaction will be. In any case I think it's important for working people to know what a bunch of phonies and hypocrites our “leaders” are. Rudy however did bust a lot of big-time mobsters and write the RICO Act. The way I understand it his name did go before the Commission but they thought better of making him disappear like Jimmy Hoffa.

Did you see the cover? I wonder what he'll think of it. If he sues me, that'll be okay. I'm broke and as they say in the business is, any publicity is good publicity.

But notice the subtitle: A NATIONAL PROBLEM

It's not Rudy that's the problem but the fact that delusional priests, brothers and other professional religious are determining who goes on to political and corporate leadership through college and who remains behind. I killed Rudy in chemistry, algebra and 11th year math and he went on to mayorship and even run for president. But I got two Ds in Religion and that really hurt my chances—pulled my grade average way down. I just couldn't sing the hymns and recite the prayers like Rudy but that shouldn't set the course for the rest of my life.

Just think, out of the 535 members of Congress just about all are prayerful believers. (The only nonbeliever I know of was Barney Frank but he's gone). That really limits the Congressional possibilities of our elected officials, especially the ones that believe in the afterlife and Second Coming when it comes to protecting the environment.

@Gooniesnvrdie Let's give him credit when do. Being his classmate I was proud of him for busting so many gangsters and writing the RICO Act. My issue in the letter was the sleazy, underhanded way he beat the draft and stayed out of the line of VC fire. The same goes of Romney, even worse. And the president!!! What the heck is going on? Americans can't be that stupid.

Did you see him hugging the flag last week? Scary. He must be living in a dream world.

@Aristopus The Mafia's power was on the wane anyway. As a prosecutor he was very effective. As a human being, he is a piece of shit. I judge people by their humanity, not their job performance.

@Sticks48 He was "very effective" as a prosecutor. Years later a Wall St Journal writer described how he prosecuted 5,535 "Perps" in his career. I know this is messed up but my claim to fame in this country is that I was "PERP NUMBER 1" I'll tell you later but if your curiosity gets the better of you you'll have to read the book.

I know you don't like him but don't let the cover sway your opinion. It wasn't photoshopped.

@Aristopus I have seen that picture before. I knew it was real. Thanks.
