In April, 2008, Wesley Snipes was convicted of failing to file taxes and was sentenced to three years in prison.  He’s been fighting that conviction since then.  However, Wesley Snipes has been unsuccessful and will be going to prison for three years.  Yesterday afternoon, Wesley Snipes reported to McKean Federal Correctional Institute in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania, to begin his jail sentence for failing to file taxes for several years.  Snipes, best known as an action movie star from the Blade Trilogy and Passenger 57, admitted to being nervous before his time in the joint.

“I think any man would be nervous,” said Snipes, who has five children from two marriages, including four children with wife Nikki Park.  “Given the length of time that they are suggesting that I be away from my family, away from my profession, away from my ability to provide for my family and for those who have depended upon me to contribute to society…I think anyone would be nervous about that.”

However, this isn’t the first time Wesley Snipes had issues with the law.  I remember in the mid-90’s when he escaped from San Angeles prison in the near-future and went on a rampage until Sylvester Stallone had to be unfrozen and sent to catch him with the help of Sandra Bullock and Benjamin Bratt.  Oh wait, that’s the plot of Demolition Man.  Never mind.  It’s a shame Snipes isn’t in Congress; Charles Rangel hasn’t paid taxes in two decades and he’s a free man.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
