James R. Hoffa, also known as Jimmy Hoffa, was an American Labor Union leader of the teamsters who went missing in 1975. To this day, no one has any knowledge to where his body might be. Hoffa was very high in the rankings in his mid-twenties with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters is still active today. They are a labor union group that represents a diverse membership of blue-collar and professional workers in both the public and private sectors. From 1958 to 1971, Hoffa became the general president of the National Brotherhood of Teamsters. Hoffa needed help with muscle and money for the Teamsters for their strikes so he turned to the Italian mafia for help. The Detroit mafia was who he got help from. It is believed that Tony Zerilli had something to do with Hoffa. During these years as president of the Teamsters, Hoffa was convicted of jury tampering, fraud, and attempted bribery. He was jailed in 1967 and was then sentenced to about 13 years. He resigned from presidency of the teamsters in 1971 in order to accommodate the agreement made with Richard Nixon. Nixon made it clear that Jimmy Hoffa could not be affiliated with union activities until 1980 which was when his 13 year sentencing would be over and done with. Hoffa had…

Many people know him as the funny and rugged face of comedy. He is Dane Cook. Sort of the anti-Mitch Hedberg. For others, he is a posterboy for an altogether different type of comedy: the plagiarizer, the man without a punchline. Personally, I have long held that Dane Cook is a performer and not a stand up comedian, in the way that Bob Villa was a TV show host and not a licensed contractor. For the better part of a decade, you couldn't be handed a transcript of a Dane Cook set, read it, and think it was funny. There just weren't any JOKES in the conventional sense, just a lot of stage direction and exclamation points where the punchlines should be. This technique, of course, has made Dane very successful, frequently selling out stadiums and…
