last but certainly not least, a correction to yesterday’s post on charles rangel — while the details are still being sorted out, it seems that the earnings were $75k over the whole 20 years, not $75k a year as originally reported, and all of it went straight to the holder of the mortgage, rangel didn’t receive any checks. he may still have some tax obligations associated with that, but it’s a whole different story. sending MAD LOVE again, chuck!
