And you think you're underpaid...
Members of the Oakland Raiderettes (the cheerleading squad of the NFL's Raiders) has sued the team claiming violations of labor law. According to the lawsuit, the Raiderettes are paid the grand sum of $1,250 per season. Before we get further into this issue, let's look at just that number, in conjunction with a couple of other numbers.
There were ten home games for the Raiders this season. NFL cheerleaders don't travel to away games, according to several sources. So that works out to $125 per game. The average game runs about three hours, so that works out to a little over $41 per hour. So why does the lawsuit claim the cheerleaders are actually being paid about $5 per hour? Because they do a lot more than just cheer at games. They practice. After getting through the audition process, they practice several times a week for several hours at a stretch. The football season runs 17 weeks, the pre-season adds four more weeks. If they were to practice just two hours per practice and practice only twice per week, suddenly that 30 hours of working at $41 per hour. However, when you factor in practices, which are frequent and usually lengthy, $5 an hour might even be a bit high to be an accurate assessment.
Then there are some other factors. According to the lawsuit, the cheerleaders are paid at the end of the season. California labor law requires employers to pay their employees at least twice per month, as wages are earned. Worse yet, the lawsuit claims that the team is so cheap that the girls are fined for failing to bring the right equipment to a practice. Now if they don't have the right uniform at a game, I can see a fine, or being kept off the field (and losing pay).
I hope they score big in this lawsuit. The Raiders have a great history as a team, but their history as an organization in how it treats employees and host cities of their offices, basically sucks.

The details of Justin Bieber's arrest are still not fully revealed, nor is what is going to happen; but there are a few disturbing items that we learned today. The 19 year old singer doesn't have a valid drivers license. He does have an expired Georgia license. He admitted to having had alcohol and smoking pot. He also admitted to having taken Xanax, and claiming he just takes whatever his mother gives to him.
That last one made me sit up and take notice. He's legally an adult. He should be managing his own prescriptions. If he took Xanax and it is from a prescription written for his mother or someone else, there's been a violation of federal law. One that carries some pretty stiff penalties, even for a first offense.
Pot is illegal in Florida. Possession of less than 20 grams carries a mandatory minimum sentence, according to the NORML website, of 1 year in jail.
The Beibs is here in the U. S. on an O-1 visa (special category for those with "extraordinary abilities") and if he's convicted, he could easily be deported. Yes, even in spite of the probable protest of tens of thousands of teens outside the Attorney General's office after the AG signed the order of deportation.
In my mind, he's been nothing but trouble since he turned 17 or so. That's just my opinion. But now he's threatening the public safety and destroying private property (the egg-throwing thing).
Worse yet, what would happen to most of us if our loved ones were to learn we were running around with booze, pot AND Xanax in our system, all at the same time? I know I'd be leading an intervention if any of my loved ones were doing that. But since Justin Bieber is nothing but a cash cow to his parents and entourage, no one is going to say nothing.
Parenting? Sources claim that his 38 year old father was with him at the strip club where he spent $75,000, before heading off to drag race. TMZ reports that Beiber's dad was one of the ones who helped to block off the street so his precious 19 year old could drag race.
The best thing that could happen to this kid would be the reality check of a few months behind bars.

William Marotta is getting screwed by the State of Kansas because he was a generous guy. He donated sperm to a same-sex couple who'd advertised on (where else) Craigslist. But the couple split, one of them stopped working and applied for support from the state. The court has interpreted state law to read that unless a doctor is involved, sperm donation can't be "documented" and that is just plain wrong.
If you want a headache, listen to Ann Coulter and Piers Morgan arguing whether or not pot and alcohol are alike.
The dead woman whose body is being kept alive against the wishes of her husband and family, because she's in Texas and she's pregnant should be disconnected from life support as the loved ones want.
The Denver Broncos got 14,000 tickets to the Super Bowl. They held a lottery among season ticket holders for some of them. The question is, how many did Denver sell to Primesport.com?
It's so refreshing to see the comments sections of various news stories on the web continue to be populated by scam spam ads about making fortunes working from home. Maybe they're jobs working on Nigerian 419 scams.

Movie quotes today come from "Kill Bill, Vol II" in honor of Sonny Chiba's birthday:
Bill: Pai Mei taught you the five point palm-exploding heart technique?
The Bride: Of course he did.
Bill: Why didn't you tell me?
The Bride: I don't know... because I'm a bad person.
Bill: No. You're not a bad person. You're a terrific person. You're my favorite person, but every once in a while, you can be a real cunt.
#2
Bill: You hocked a Hattori Hanzon Sword?
Budd: Yep.
Bill: It was priceless.
Budd: Well, not in El Paso, it ain't. In El Paso I got me $250 for it.
#3
The Bride: Did he teach you that?
Bill: No. He teaches no one the five-point-palm-exploding-heart technique. Now, Kiddo, one of the things I always liked about you is you appear wise beyond your years. Then allow me to impart a word to the wise. Whatever - WHAT-EVER - Pai Mei says, obey. If you flash him, even for an instant, a defiant eye, he'll pluck it out. And if you throw any American sass his way, he will snap your back and your neck like they were twigs, and that will be the story of you.
#4
Bill: Anyhow, they all fell under her Hanzo sword.
Budd: She's got a Hanzo sword?
Bill: He made one for her.
Budd: Didn't he swear a blood oath to never make another sword?
Bill: It would appear he has broken it.
Budd: Them Japs sure know how to hold a grudge.
[laughs]
Budd: Or maybe... you just tend to bring that out in people.
