A charity headed by star Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. is filing an amended 2007 report to the Internal Revenue Service because $11,000 it paid to foundation officers as compensation was mischaracterized as being for research grants.

Cozy, no?
Excellent!
According to the filing, Angela is from Davis, California.
There is someone by her name listed as a student trainee at the Obesity and Metabolism Research Unit there.

July 16th is turning out to be a day he wished he had stayed in bed and not ventured out.
More on Angela. She’s 49 years old. Kind of old to be a student. Her birthday is in July. Happy Birthday! Your birthday present isn’t what you expected.
PINO!!!
Well, I hope Mouthy keeps it up a little longer. Who knows what else we might discover about him.
Fraud? It's a whole lot easier soliciting funds for a charity that has 1% administarative overhead vs. 40%. Makes you wonder what the real numbers look like.
I used to wonder why the few liberals with jobs didn’t mind high taxes. It never occurrred to me that taxes are optional for them.
