Tati’s World: Reality TV a Sticky Web of Guilty Pleasure!

August 2nd, 2017

CEO

By Tatiauna Miller

Sunday night I got caught in the web of reality TV. It was like watching a couple argue in the car next to you or watching someone’s child have a temper tantrum in the mall. Those are all things you’re embarrassed to see happening in front of you, but can’t look away. That’s what reality TV is for me. I felt like both my eyes and brain were held hostage, and a perverse part of me enjoyed it. The conscious part knows a majority of these shows, if not all of them are staged for maximum messiness, but again, I couldn’t turn away. Any minute I was going to turn into a pillar of salt as I looked on.

The night started with me watching about 5 minutes of “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” I tuned in to Kim calling some stranger a slut and a whore and bragging to her cronies and Kanye that she went ghetto on her. First thing, I want to know is how she can “fix her mouth” to call someone a slut/whore, but got rich and famous off a porn?

The Sinatra File: Shot Down in Eighty-One

August 1st, 2017

CEO

By Jerry Pearce

The decadent arrangement of “The Gal Who Got Away” and “It Never Entered My Mind” first sung by Frank Sinatra in the early 1980s, is perhaps the greatest fusion chart ever created for a singer of American standards. Combining a stomping orchestral chart by Nelson Riddle with some tasty intricate solo piano played by Sinatra sideman Vincent Falcone, the arrangement was the final selection on the brief but memorable Sinatra album “She Shot Me Down,” finally brought to the ears of listeners after nearly a decade of stops and starts in July 1981. The album recently celebrated its thirty-sixth anniversary, and is deserving of an honorable mention. With the exception of the “Duets” albums of the 1990s, “She Shot Me Down” is the next to last solo album produced for Sinatra’s label, Reprise Records.

Catch Me If You Can: Whitey Bulger

July 31st, 2017

CEO

By Marla Eggar

James Joseph Bulger aka Whitey Bulger could turn on the charm one minute and become a psychopathic killer the next. He alluded police for years by becoming the Houdini of the underworld. Bulger was a master at manipulating circumstances and people. The South Boston native grew up in the first public housing project ever built in New England, The Old Harper. The area was predominately working-class Irish and was overall considered a safe place to raise your family. While Bugler’s siblings did well in school and excelled, he dropped out and became a juvenile delinquent. As a teen, he was arrested by the age of 13 for stealing off the back of a truck.

Guns N Roses Still Whetting Appetites 30 Years On

July 31st, 2017

CEO

Make no mistake about it, Guns N’ Roses are more than just the quintessential hard rock band. One only needs to look at the band’s name to know that the Los Angeles rockers were truly ahead of the curve in every sense of the word. The name Guns N’ Roses was devised by adding the names of two of the band member’s previous groups together but rather than go with the conventional conjunction “and”, Slash, Axl and co decided to slap a giant ‘N’ in its place, perfectly capturing the essence of the band while speaking volumes about their no nonsense nature and unwillingness to conform.

A Closer Look at Robert De Niro

CEO

By Marla Eggar

Hollywood dignitary Robert De Niro is the ultimate supreme when it comes to actors. He’s given life to memorable characters like: Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull) John “Johnny Boy” Civello (Mean Streets) and the iconic young Vito Corleone (Godfather 2) and Jimmy Conway (Goodfellas) to name just a few amazing roles he given us. Robert De Niro has led a fascinating career and inspiring life. While it would be impossible to list all of his achievements in his 74 year time span I’ve instead jotted down some little known facts, for some, about both De Niro’s career and life:

The Mafia Chronicles: New Name In Hoffa Disappearance Linked To Former N.F.L. Players

July 28th, 2017

CEO

By Larry Henry

By unearthing a new name in the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance, a noted organized crime journalist and author could be one step closer to solving the 42-year mystery over what became of the former labor leader’s body.

Knowing for sure what happened to Hoffa’s body — whether Hoffa was cremated, as some have suggested, or buried or crushed and turned into a hubcap — also could end any dispute over who murdered the corrupt, longtime Teamsters Union boss.

This month, Dan E. Moldea, author of the authoritative 1978 nonfiction book “The Hoffa Wars,” disclosed an intriguing bit of information that a source told him a couple of years ago regarding the Hoffa body.

By Tatiauna Miller

Welcome to my world! This is where I have the pleasure of discussing whatever the hell I want! This may not be the place for intelligent and thought provoking discussion on this week’s current events or healthy food recipes, but this is everything in between. Now, just because I’m not discussing the most recent tragedy or jaw dropping news story doesn’t mean I’m not aware or affected. I just choose not to discuss it here. Alright, now that my somewhat low key disclaimer is out of the way, I do appreciate your questions and or comments. Here’s some background on me: I’m a single parent with a 7 year old daughter (she’s adorable…no really she is). I live in the DMV area (DC, MD, and VA) and I work for the government aka Swamp! I love to laugh, dance, read, drive fast and talk shit…

A Closer Look at Joseph “Skinny Joe” Merlino

July 23rd, 2017

CEO

Loading ...

By Marla Eggar

Joseph Salvatore “Skinny Joey” Merlino is a South Philly native believed to be the head of the Philadelphia mob. Merlino came on the scene in the early 90s as an alluring, magnetic and poised personality. Merlino may be better known in the mob world for the war he initiated with John Stanfa when Stanfa was chosen as the new leader of the Philadelphia Crime family. Stanford was chosen because of his maturity and low profile. Merlino on the other hand headed a fraction in the family referred to as the “Young Turks.”

This crew was stocked with more of the “young bloods” in the family whose loyalty remain with each other. The “Young Turks” were also more prone to the limelight and media attention. When the war within the family broke out media attention and the limelight were also accompanied by casualties. Still, by “95” Merlino was declared the winner and became an impressive leader. Now, at the age of 55 Merlino has spent, at least 20 years, of his life behind bars. Despite speculation of participating or orchestrating many hits he’s never once been convicted of murder.

In a car culture like ours, certain roads and highways, from Broadway in New York City to Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, are significant reference points for a large number of people.

Less known, but of interest to those intrigued by Las Vegas and its mob past, is a short stretch of Sahara Avenue in Sin City arguably packed with as much high-profile Mafia history as any geographically compact space in the country.

The Forgotten Eleven & Turning to the Mafia For Protection!

July 20th, 2017

CEO

By Marla Eggar

What if I told you the victims of the biggest mass lynching in American history weren’t Black/African American but Italian immigrants, would you believe it? Well, it’s true. Our nation’s early history reflects a moment in time when “change” that came in the form of immigration was met with resentment and hostility. Every nationality at one point or another has been the target of preconceived notions and bias opinions. This was especially true for migrants of Irish and Italian decent or of Catholic faith. At the time, the common belief was that immigrants would distort or defile the cultural values of America. In addition, all these new arrivals were often seen as unwanted competition in the jobs market. Between 1880 and 1920, more than 20 million foreigners made America their new home. In that decade alone, some 600,000 Italians migrated to America and between 1820 and 1930, some 4.5 million Irish followed.
