Taxing news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• Wesley Snipes is charging potential racism in plans for his upcoming tax-evasion trial. His lawyer filed a motion arguing the choice of Ocala, Florida as the place for the trial hurts Snipes’ chances of fair treatment. The lawyer griped that the U.S. Attorney’s Office “deliberately chose the most racially discriminatory venue available to the government with the best possibility of an all-white Southern jury where Snipes has never resided.” Snipes is starting to sound like O.J. Simpson.
• A spokesperson for Michael Jackson claims he’s not in danger of losing his Neverland Ranch, contrary to reports stating problems stemming from a loan (see Essay 4635). “Mr. Jackson is in the final stages of refinance and will not lose Neverland Valley Ranch,” said the spokesperson. Maybe Jacko needs to revise his nickname to King of Debt.
• A top immigration official offered another apology over the incident involving an inappropriate Halloween costume (see Essay 4677). In a letter to Sen. Claire McCaskill, the official wrote, “Although I was not aware at the time of the contest that the employee disguised his skin color, I believe that it was inappropriate for me to recognize any individual wearing an escaped prisoner costume.” It sure is tough to disguise ignorance.

Wesley might as well join the ‘I don't have to pay taxes' crowd who believe that paying taxes is not a real law.
Yeah, good luck with that.
