My dads bigger than your dad!

Rumblings in the different Mafia families, things could get interesting. Let's all hope it escalates. always a good sign that all is not well among societies sick and twisted.

Army investigating Army Col. calling Navy Col. to stop the raid. On the surface, seems like some favoritism might be in the offing.

More like corruption was 'in the offing' plus all the government officials playing at the casino. Oviously the navy military guy really upset the well organised and long time gambling den.

We need more navy guys like this ...

Nothing to see here, (nothing will happen), move along please.

Bye the bye, microphones, led displays.....any news chaps?

Joking, just joking.
