Damn! Pay your taxes or go down like Snipes!

No, that's not a photo of Wesley Snipes' new prison body, but give him a few months and it will be. Here's some breaking news--Snipes was just sentenced to three years in prison and fined $5 million for income tax evasion.

Take a bite out of that!

This from the government's sentencing recommendation: "The fact that Snipes was acquitted on two felony charges and convicted 'only' on three misdemeanor counts has been portrayed in the mainstream media as a 'victory' for Snipes. The troubling implication of such coverage for the millions of average citizens who are aware of this case is that the rich and famous Wesley Snipes has 'gotten away with it.' In the end the criminal conduct of Snipes must not be seen in such a light."

Three years in the pokey. $5 million poorer. That's got to hurt. And what are we to do without a "Blade 4"? That's the real crime--we won't be getting one. Injustice!

Certainly, a book deal will come of this.
