Whitey For Best Actor

Our video of the day has already gone up, but we’re not quite satisfied with our sucking love. This week Bulger news was of a pension loss. John “retired clerk magistrate” Bulger lost a case argued in the SJC to save his pension for lying about his contact with Whitey. This is different, however, from the ups and downs of the William “former UMass prez” Bulger pension fight, which still leans in favor of that Bulger.

Bostonist prefers the Baldwins to the Bulgers any day. But today the Alec Baldwin (the eldest, infamous, appearing in more films) of the Bulgers is Whitey. The FBI released video footage of James “Whitey” Bulger that’s more than a couple decades old, hoping that watching the elusive mobster’s mannerisms and gestures will help them track him down. The video is of poor quality, Bostonist takes it to be the Cat in the Hat of the Baldwin/Bulger analogy.

Damn you, Jon! I just did up a post about this, and gave it the best pun/literary reference headline I'll ever have a chance to make in my whole life, but you beat me to it. Anyway, the headline would have been, "We Were Bulgers Once . . . And Young." That would have been awesome.
