Is Sharpton ill?
He looks like he's lost about 100 lbs. :o

1. I know he did lose a lot of weight -- I think intentionally. When was
the last time you saw him?

5. I saw him in July, I think.
At a party at 92nd St Y, NYC.

I thought,"Hey, that guy looks like Al Sharpton with slightly less insane hair". My friend told me he was, indeed, Al Sharpton. Then I saw him up close and decided (because I tend to make snap decisions - most of them tragically bad) that he surely had some terminal illness.

I'll guess he is glad I am not his doctor.

6. "...with slightly less insane hair."
:rofl:

I think he's fine - and I THINK I remember people commenting on it when he first showed up sleek and slim and he said it was something he wanted/needed to do, and "thank you".

2. I remember thinking the same thing when he was on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Looked drawn and tired, and voice sounded weak.

3. Am looking at him on TV right now
I think he looks healthy enough...maybe has lost weight...maybe due to age, doctor's care..? He doesn't look gaunt or ill to me.

4. He's been thin for a while...it was voluntary....must have been a dr. advice.
Smart people smarten up when docs they trust tell them to. I know I did...
