BloggeRhythms

Double-whammy today. Got a late start and there’s not very much of interest going on.
 
Drudge, however, posted a poll on his website that shows some very interesting results so far. Last time I looked, Wisconsin Governor, Scott Walker, had a huge and growing lead.
 
Walker tallied 46.35% of the vote with 54,844 choosing him. Next came Ted Cruz at 14.32%, Paul 12.86% and Jeb Bush at 4.45%.
 
Simply because his name was there, although I really can’t imagine why, Trump posted 1.42%, which means that apparently, at the moment participants feel that Scott Walker is about 40 times more appealing than he is. Tough row to hoe for Trump and long way to go, if he’s really serious about running at all.
 
On another subject, the president’s sidekick, Al Sharpton, got some bad press once more today.
 
According to Jillian Kay Melchior, “So far, every for-profit enterprise started by Al Sharpton and known to National Review Online has been shut down in at least one jurisdiction for failure to pay taxes, a review of public records in New York and Delaware reveals."
 
"He clearly appears — based on the information that’s available to us — to have a history of noncompliance with tax obligations,” says Bernadette Schopfer, the director of taxation at New York’s Maier Markey & Justic, a certified public-accounting firm that has had no dealings with Sharpton or National Action Network. “It appears that [Sharpton] does not file [taxes for his businesses], and then opens up something else. At all the entities we see he has opened up, he has not been compliant with the obligations of the owner of a business. . . . He’s either willful in his behavior, or he’s just sloppy.”
 
Ms Melchior adds, “Sharpton’s first for-profit company, Raw Talent, probably has the strangest set of tax-debt records. The company was incorporated as a for-profit entity in 1991, the same year Sharpton founded National Action Network.
 
Raw Talent racked up a lot of tax debt. According to a 2007 lien that appears to remain active, the company owed a total of $580,453 in federal taxes, and state records say it also owes $4,834 in New York taxes.”
 
So, as the old proverb goes, men are judged by the company they keep. And in this case, the president's certainly stayed consistent, whereas if you look at his closest associates, the list looks like a Who’s Who of abject imbeciles and deadbeats.
 
That's it for today folks.
 
Adios
