quote [ Lacy T. accused the Raiders in a lawsuit Wednesday of failing to pay the Raiderettes minimum wages for the work they do, both on the sidelines and in the community for charity. The team also sticks them with travel costs and levies "fines" that eat into their meager salary, she?said. ]
Absolutely disgusting. If $125/game, is what the free market will bear, then it is by definition a fair wage. This is even worse than asking men to pay for their birth control via health insurance premiums.
Raiderettes can be fined for not bringing proper equipment to workouts. A savvy program to enhance productivity.

It's all laid out in The Bell Curve, sheeple. http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/04/facebooking-and-driving/361267/

Quit trying to distract from Fast and Furious and Benghazi. You know Holder is trying to cover up TREASON, just like when Clinton had Mr. Janet Reno lay waste to innocent patriots at Ruby Ridge!

Nothing will ever top Bosco. Still, in the absence of IncPenners, Commander Chekhov(SP?), etc., what else is there? I suppose we could post a reasonably tame political thread to Freerepublic with a cry for "help to defeat the socialist commies" or something, but that might be TOO entertaining.

Easy to say when you've never been in the shit. Grenada, '86. Sometimes iwake up in a cold sweat, and I can still smell the nutmeg.

So this is what it's like having an actual alive and awake administrator.

Even steele deserves a day or two off, guys. I'd expect this assclown to vanish pretty soon.

I'm not sure what requires administrative attention here. Dude typed some stuff and we modded accordingly. Seems to me the system is working as intended.
