Marion Barry gets 3 years Probation

Sure, he owes one quarter of a million dollars in taxes and tested positive for marijauna and cocaine but he’s Marion Barry… so, he can get away with anything!

Barry Sentenced to Three Years of Probation

Barry was supposed to be sentenced last month, but that hearing was postponed because he had not filed paperwork with the court saying what taxes he owed or begun discussing repayment with the relevant authorities.

Yesterday, Assistant U.S. Attorney James W. Cooper said Barry had continued to drag his feet, waiting until Wednesday to contact the IRS about repayment.

“Mr. Barry has been, for lack of a better word, recalcitrant,” Cooper said. “He has, through a long public career, not hesitated to impose taxes on hardworking people. . . . It frankly is an insult to those people that this sitting public official has behaved in the manner that he has.”

iTunes DRM = C.R.A.P.

David Berlind at ZDnet write about the iPod Hi-Fi (Apple’s proposed replacement for the stereo) and iTunes. According to him, it’s all C.R.A.P. As you can see in my previous entry (iTunes iSbogus) on the subject, I have to agree.

Jobs iPod Hi-Fi: Home stereo reinvented? Or load of HorseCRAP?

Don’t be evil, Steve.
