Speaking of Sharpton anyone see the  NYT piece on his transformation into an establishment figure and serious, serious issues with the IRS?

(The most striking thing though was just how much weight he lost over the last 20 years! :o)

We all remember that poignant episode after James's funeral.  DAMN DAMN DAMN...

And no, I am not racist.  Stop that.
When I first saw that scene I laughed.... and then I thought to myself "am I an asshole for laughing at that lady's misery?" :Embarrass:

Yeah, I saw where it's being reported recently that he owes millions in taxes, something like 4.5 mil.

Then too he's the administration's race policy adviser or some title like that.

I'll never understand how Al went legit.  I mean, the dude is such a huckster.  Does he still claim he was ordained when he was five years old or whatever it was? :D

He got an MSNBC show and some people started taking him seriously.  Seedy even pretends to.

Well, of course. You are always about bombastic, crappy politico types. <_<

Predictably, the police are now getting crap for holding back and letting Ferguson burn last night.

He trafficks in the truth.

But he doesn't.

Sure he does.  Just because, as a cracker, it's truth you don't want to hear doesn't disqualify it.
