Discriminating Whore (heh)
Philadelphia drops lawsuit against 'English-only' sign:
The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations today dismissed its discrimination case against Joey Vento for the speak-English sign posted at his South Philadelphia sandwich shop.

The panel found "insufficient evidence" that the sign in the window of Geno's Steaks had the effect of denying service to anyone.

Philadelphia Inquirer
It only took two years of public money to finally get the HR commission to drop the case. If they would use their talents on actual HR cases, Philly might be a better place for people to actually live.

With all the money Ashley is getting, seems the $1 million from the "Girls Gone Wild" gang won't be coming:
LOS ANGELES - Stop that $1 million check: It turns out the call girl linked to Eliot Spitzer had already shed her clothes for "Girls Gone Wild" as an 18-year-old while partying in Miami, the video company's founder said yesterday.

Joe Francis had reached out to Ashley Alexandra Dupre, now 22, with an offer of $1 million to appear in a non-nude spread for his company's new magazine, plus a chance to join the "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus, his company announced yesterday. But Francis said someone had a revelation at yesterday morning's staff meeting: Did anyone think to check the archives?
Philadelphia Inquirer
Who would have thought that the high-priced whore that the Spitz slept with would have taken her clothes off already on camera... mind-boggling eh?

$54 million
Why couldn't this have been my computer?
Is your laptop worth $54 million?

Raelyn Campbell of Washington, D.C., is suing Richfield-based Best Buy for that amount after it lost her laptop computer while it was in for repairs.

Campbell, who could not be reached Tuesday, filed a negligence lawsuit suit against the company in Washington Superior Court on Nov. 16, seeking fair compensation for replacement of the $1,100 computer and extended warranty, plus expenses related to identity theft protection.

Best Buy spokeswoman Nissa French said in an e-mail that Campbell "was offered and collected $1,110.35" as well as "a $500 gift card for her inconvenience."

Campbell said that she doesn’t really expect to get $54 million, but chose the amount to attract attention to her case. It’s the same amount a D.C. judge sought against a dry cleaner last year that lost a pair of his pants.

I could understand her lawsuit if she hadn't already taken the money. The cost of her laptop, plus taking a five-hundred dollar gift card makes me wonder exactly what she hopes to accomplish with her lawsuit. It also makes me wish more for a law against frivolous lawsuits heh
