D.C. Councilman Marion Barry should count himself blessed. U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson, who is dealing with his tax evasion case, appears ready to go for the okeydoke — again. The former four-time mayor may get a second slap on the wrist for not filing tax returns for eight years straight, not paying associated taxes and, then, failing to honor the terms of his probation in connection with those violations.

If Barry were Christopher Dinwiddie, owner of The Breakfast Club LLC, aka Catfish Friday, his world would be upside-down.
