Why didn't they run that book excerpt about Whitey Bulger in Love on Valentine's Day? Who doesn't love a good romantic yarn? OK, one in which the protagonist was busy choking one girlfriend to death in front of the other until an underling pulled him off her, but still.

Seems he's signed up to play Bulger in one of the 3,000 upcoming movies about the murdering thug, based on Black Mass by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill.

Where's Whitey?

UPDATE: Sheesh, whatever happened to the days when you could trust stuff you read online? The Herald's O'Ryan Johnson tweets neither mobster nor moll is in transit anywhere - due to a computer glitch at the Bureau of Prisons, they've been marked as "in transit" since June.

Jack Gately checks Whitey Bulger's prison record and discovers that, like Sal DiMasi yesterday, he's also "in transit" (DiMasi is spending the night in Brooklyn). Chuck Turner, however, continues to bunk in West Virginia, while Dianne Wilkerson remains ensconced in Stamford.

Court says it's past time for government to pay up for letting Whitey Bulger get away with murder

A federal appeals court today ordered the government to pay nearly $3 million to the families of three people murdered by Whitey Bulger when he was under FBI protection.

In two rulings issued today, the US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston said enough was enough, Bulger and pal Stephen Flemmi were able to kill people because they knew the government wouldn't touch him and that the government should pay for its role in the murders of Louis Litif, Debra Davis and Deborah Hussey.

Whitey Bulger is a real cut-out

South End Textiles has come up with an activity for idle hands - download their 8 1/2x11 PDF, print it out and go to town (or Santa Monica).

There is photographic evidence of Whitey wearing each of these outfits, even the cowboy get-up. Not sure if he ever wore Gerry Cheever's goalie mask, but couldn't resist adding it.
