They’ve finally gotten around to sentencing him for doing White Men Can’t Jump and The Money Train with Woody Harrelson?

he’d go to jail. the rule is if you plead guilty, they hit you with a big fine that the gubment will spend wisely on our behalf, and a slap on the wrist. if you exercise your right to a jury, you go to jail.

Leonna Helmsley's "only the little people pay taxes" sideshow I see every year.

The IRS should be back billed by every media outlet for the past twenty years for free advertising.

Oh yeah. He's in deep kim-chee...

Wesley Snipes clasps his hands together as he arrives at the U.S. Federal Court to stand trial for conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government and filing a false claim for a $7 million refund, in Ocala, Florida, January 14, 2008. Rather than file tax returns on an estimated $38 million in income, Snipes flooded the U.S. tax agency with correspondence that his lawyer admitted on Tuesday was sometimes "kooky, crazy and loony.

I don't know about you guys, but I think I know who *I* am putting on *my* election ballot: Wesley Snipes. No one else truly understands what's going on.
