How does he do that? ------------------------------------------- I am sure he receives a good salary for his MSNBC gig and is probably careful to pay his taxes now, based on previous run ins with the IRS. But, he's also a one man church with an "official" ordination and title as a "Reverend" which he received when he was 9 years old. Games can be played with such credentials. As a gag on a friend of mine, I sent $70 to an Internet based "ministry" several years ago for their deluxe ordination package. I received all the legal paperwork and "official" title of being a minister and member of the clergy. Much to my surprise, it permits me to conduct legal weddings (as long as I registered with my home state ... which I never did) and many other church related "services". It also allows me (if so motivated) to declare a tax-free status for many activities I might engage in under the guise of them being part of my "ministry" or church. Obviously, I've never even thought of trying anything like that and I certainly don't consider myself a "Reverend" or minister. |

The wheels in his head are probably already turning. |

I did, and I've never declared a tax-free activity. |

That's almost as good as my Church of Cosmic Energy. Perhaps we can merge the two and form "The Church of Universal Stuporstitious Cosmic Religious Nonsense." |

BTW, I don't use Googlenews and don't have a clue how it works but again, the above quote in incorrectly attributed. I didn't say that. Harry did. That's right. *I* said it. ![]() |
