Fritz Schrank of Sneaking Suspicions has some good advice for Sen. John Edwards (D-ATLA) as he violates the NAACP boycott by attending a meeting in a former slaveholder’s mansion in Charleston.
Fritz also reports that he’s just learned from his new tax software that (direct quote, he says) “Delaware now allows deceased taxpayers to electronically file.”
