(from The Carter III - "misunderstood" / "I don't get it")

Al Sharpton owes $1.5 million in taxes
Government records obtained by The Associated Press indicate that Sharpton and his business entities owe nearly $1.5 million in overdue taxes and associated penalties.
Now the U.S. attorney is investigating his nonprofit group, an inquiry that an undeterred Sharpton brushes off as the kind of annoyance that civil rights figures have come to expect from the government.
Sharpton's own debts include $365,558 owed in New York City income tax and $931,397 in unpaid federal income tax, according to a lien filed by the Internal Revenue Service last spring. His for-profit company, Rev. Al Communications, owes the state another $175,962 in delinquent taxes.

James Brown and Al Sharpton collabo
Who knew that in 1981 James Brown made a CD featuring the Reverend Al Sharpton?
Just came across this looking for pictures of the Rev on Google. Amazing pairing, I think. Definitely going to buy this CD. It would be great to see such pairings continue today. It is hard to see any credible politician or religious figure doing something with Ja Rule or Kanye West. But how about a pairing of Common and Cynthia Chestnut? Something like that would be rather amazing. Unlikely politicians of today would do it, as everyone is so concerned with being as central as possible so as to maintain a wide constituency. Ridiculous. Click on the cd in the linked page, there is a song sample there. Who knew that in 1981 James Brown made a CD featuring the Reverend Al Sharpton? ... more -
