Family Secrets

Joey the Clown
Goes down.

Yes, there's a verdict in the big Chicago mob trial, and all 5 guys - wise guys that is - have been found guilty.

That includes Joey "The Clown" Lombardo, 78, who wisecracked his way through his testimony.

The Clown seemed perfectly affable,
But the crimes weren't particularly laughable:
At trial, prosecutors presented 18 men and women who’d been the victims of Outfit hits, some more than 30 years ago. The victims had been strangled, shotgunned or had their throats slit, prosecutors said.
Actually, this list leaves off the case of the Spilotro brothers, fellow mobsters who were simply beaten to death.

The retirement program is not the best.
Mostly they're dead, or under arrest.
