The World We Live In ...

Before I even start the post, the moral is: don't ever try to cheat the government out of one dime.

Prime example ... Ronald Isley. He tried to cheat Uncle Sam out of a few hundred million dimes, and just got convicted of five counts of tax evasion. Yes, the man who, along with his bros., is responsible for the birth of so many black children over the course of the last 20 years (Between the Sheets) is head behind the bars.

There are a few sad facts about this.

1. The Ex-Factor: To avoid the IRS, Isley put homes and his yacht in the name of his then (now ex) wife. This man clearly was inhaling through the wrong pipe while watching Waiting to Exhale. Why would you dare put everything you own in anybody else's name. You have some serious issues if you do, and then to learn that she soon became an ex? Not so smart.

2. The Age Factor: Mr. Biggs is 64, and damn near old enough to start drawing Social Security and instead he's up against a potential 26 years. I'm personally shocked that he didn't just pass out in the court room.

3. The R. Kelly Factor: I have to mention this. But isn't it strange that Kells is still on the loose, possibly chasing teens around the Chicago burbs after being allegedly caught on tape with a minor, and his mentor is headed to the joint because of tax evasion? Kells: Still bumpin and grindin. Biggs: potentially getting bumped and grinded. Like I said, don't mess with Uncle Sam.

short segue

Remember how most of R. Kelly songs are clues to his desire for underaged women? I'm sorry but The Isleys Bros. have the worst hidden meaning song in the world. The lyrics to the chorus for Contagious:
"You're contagious, touch me baby, give me what you got. ..." Enough said.
