[NY Post] The civil rights hustler Al Sharpton's ...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... nonprofit paid him nearly $242,000 -- even as it carried $1.6 million in debt, according to documents obtained by The Post.
In all, the controversial activist and his empire, including the National Action Network and two for-profit companies, were $5.3 million in the red, public records show.
Most of NAN's money woes stemmed from more than $880,000 in unpaid federal payroll taxes, interest and penalties. It also paid more than $100,000 to settle two lawsuits, byproducts of the unpaid bills. And it still owed $206,252 in loans to Sharpton's for-profit Bo-Spanky Consulting Inc. and Sharpton Media LLC, the records show.
Sharpton drew a $241,732 salary and perks that included first-class or charter air travel, tax filings show. He owes the IRS $2.6 million in income tax, and nearly $900,000 in state tax.
The defunct Rev-Al Communications Inc. owes the state almost $176,000, and Bo-Spanky is $3,500 behind on state-tax liens.

Bo-Spanky, a race huckstering shakedown business. The technique was perfected by Jesse Jackson. Not related to Spanky and Our Gang, another Chicago group 1960s rock band). Thought Biden said it was patriotic to pay taxes. It must be unpatriotic to not pay except if you are a democrat. How come these donks get special treatment (don't pay taxes without going to jail)? Is Sharpton part of the 99% or the 1%--I get so confused?
(AP) Michelle Obama now holds part of a world record.
The first lady announced in an email Monday that her October bid to break the record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period succeeded. Mrs. Obama says 300,265 people participated, shattering the old record.
In order to achieve her goal, Mrs. Obama led about 400 elementary and middle-school students from Washington in jumping jacks on the South Lawn of the White House. Other jumping jacks events were held around the world on Oct. 11.
The effort was organized by National Geographic Kids magazine in support of the first lady's Let's Move! initiative to promote physical fitness and healthy eating for children.

I can believe this, as IIRC doing jumping jacks is one of Michelle's favorite personal activities.
I still have to wonder, though, just how well she truly is adapting to being FLOTUS, promoting pro-health dietary lifestyles instead of carrying protest signs + yelling Radicalist slogans.
D *** NG IT, IFF ANY PART OF THE YOUNGER MICHELLE IS STILL IN HER, SHE MUST WANT TO THROW A FIREBOMB, ETC. AT CAPITOL HILL SO BAD SHE BITES + BLEEDS HER LIPS TRYING TO RESIST THE TEMPTATION???

Sad to say but this somehow diminishes the First Lady's position in my book and the position was never very high to begin with. I mean really, a goofy stunt to draw publicity? Yeah its for a cause but really?

Technically, she doesn't hold the record. The 300,000+ participants do. Both her and her husband like to take credit for things they didn't really do. Slow news day.
Now if all the Chinese did jumping jacks we would set a record and probably generate earthquakes.

GUAMPDN FORUMS POSTER > quotes GLOBE MAGAZINE that FLOTUS Michelle likes to sneak out of the WH often because she's allegedly having a steamy affair wid one of her Secret Service security agents, as due to the Bammer personally gay.
"GLOBE" ARTIC = infers that its quite possible that a gay Bammer allows + consents to wife Michelle having hetero extramarital affairs on the side as part of their relationship, as such is common in many cases of gays or bi-sexuals whom are married to non-gay or non-bisexual personages???
