Where's Waldo?

  As I write the FBI is down on the Boston waterfront congratulating themselves on the apprehension of America's Most Wanted, Whitey Bulger. 

  Great work guys, almost seventeen years.  Even this tries the old expression, "Good enough for government work."  A decade and a half being the yardstick for our federal law enforcement in this case, I guess there is still hope Amelia Earhart and Jimmy Hoffa could turn up any day. 

  Whitey's been gone so long most of his counterparts have served their time.  All of the civil suits relating to the Government's murder of its own citizens thanks to a partnership with Whitey have been decided.  (Largely in the government's favor by pro-government appellate judges with no balls and no concern for the truth.  Somehow the victims' families were supposed to know Whitey did the killings despite the fact that the government adamantly denied it and another person was arrested and tried for the murders.  I guess you can't expect justice from judges who aren't even smart enough to realize they are merely pawns moved by an invisible, corrupt government hand.) 

  For sixteen years the government had a number of agents permanently working on the case.  Every spring they and I assume their wives would junket off to some distant, warm locale on the premise of a "Whitey sighting".  Apparently during this period not a single agent discovered Whitey's girlfriend was still paying a mortgage and real estate taxes on a house in Quincy, Mass.  Took the FBI's best and brightest 16 years to find the so-called paper trial much less follow it.  These agents couldn't find water if they fell out of a boat.  Great work guys, if you have kids do me a favor let your wife keep track of them. 

    Unless of course no one really wanted to find Whitey.  Whitey's long absence made it very convenient for the government to deny certain things.  But there are two sides to every story.  There's the sixteen plus year fable spun by the government and now perhaps the Truth. 

   Let's see how many FBI agents and government lawyers are celebrating when Whitey takes the stand.
