I just read at USA Today's web site that the FBI was searching a farm near Detroit for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa. They got a tip from a Mafia hitman.

For those who are too young to remember, Jimmy Hoffa was the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. He disappeared in 1975.

It'll be interesting if they find him.

Well, they got a tip from that hitman. He claimed that he had a part in Hoffa's death. Here's the link to the story on their web site.

Everyone knows he's buried inside a concrete column at the Meadowlands arena in New Jersey. C'mon, a farm near Detroit, feh!

That'd be like opening Al Capone's secret vault and finding NOTHING!

I saw this morning that they've been digging all night. This guy's been gone for over 30 years, right? Why did they have to dig all night? I'd have thought that it could wait until the morning. Some guys from the ditch digging union are getting serious overtime pay for the overnight digging.

Why are they digging at all? We have x-ray technology that can look into the ground and see if there are any bones. Maybe scan before you dig, perhaps?

Do they think he's hiding in an underground cavern?

Worked for Saddam. For a time. Maybe Teamsters are just better at it than he was.
