The bracing air of pure hypocrisy…

… is as rare as it is beautiful.

A University of Vermont professor, who took an academic leave to direct a $540 million development project in Senegal — and funded by the United States — is among the top 100 delinquent taxpayers in Vermont.

Taxes from thee, but not from me; and to make it even better his academic specialty is anti-corruption and building civil societies.

[T]he state Tax Department has sued [Moustapha] Diouf twice in recent years in an effort to get him current with his state taxes.

The first lawsuit settled for $30,320 in November 2011 and required him to pay $50 a month, records show. That would take 50 1/2 years to pay off the agreement, but did not include any interest or penalties that might be imposed. It was to cover income taxes owed from 2002 to 2009, records show.

The state sued again in November 2013 to cover taxes for 2011 and 201[2]. He reached a settlement one month later to cover both cases for $43,428, records show. He agreed to have UVM to start sending the state $500 a month in December 2015 and that would take over seven years to become current, plus interest and penalties.

    So, what would The Prophet say about Moustapha Diouf’s behavior? What penalty would Sharia law dispense? It doesn’t bear thinking about what they would do to him, especially as he is a recidivist.

    Adam–I don’t really want to know what compelled you to drag Islam into a story that had no religious relevance.

    In any event, this story is not about the Prophet; it’s about the profit.

    Then I won’t tell you. I liked your profit line.
