Your numeric character references are wrong. In XML, numeric character
references do not work the way they did in HTML generation 1-4 browsers.
They give the Unicode number. So ’ is the Unicode character U+0092
which is a control character (in the C1) range.
Now 146 is the code point in the extended characters sets used on Windows
platforms. This are sometimes, spuriously, called the "ANSI" character sets,
but better known as CP1252, or Western European DOS.
So to make your data correct, the first thing you must do is to generate the
numeric character references using Unicode numbers. Then work out
the solution from there. If sometimes ’ works, it is only by
a happy accident, in that your system is misconfigured compatibly all the
way through. But it is not robust or reliable.
If your file is in CP1252, then you should label the XML with the appropriate
encoding header. But that will not change how character references are
interpreted: they are always Unicode. And if you want CP1252 output,
use the appropriate output statement in XSLT.

<P>Brad Gluckman is Malibu’s most unwanted
rapper. He spends his days hangin’ at the Malibrew Coffee Shop with
his pimpin’ crew, Mocha, Monster and Hadji, and bustin’ rhymes
about his hard-core life up in “the ‘Bu.” Immersed in
hip-hop culture, B-Rad spits lyrics about his phat life and this beach
boy is convinced that his wack rhymes are tighter than Hadji’s
cornrows. While B-Rad thinks his lyrical stylings and hip-hop lifestyle
are down, he’s actually taking his whole family down with him
– especially his father, Bill Gluckman, who is currently
campaigning to be the next governor of California. Bill doesn’t
understand his son and thinks all B-Rad needs is some unusual family
therapy--or tough love--to cure him of his gangsta delusions. But ...
