Morning Docket 1.13.08

Tuesday, January 13, 2009 9:07 AM - By Eliza Gray

* If you don’t have hooters you can’t work there. Hooters discriminates against men by refusing to hire them, a class action argues. Get over it sissies, and grow some boobs. [Courthouse News Service]

* In less pressing news…President-elect Barack Obama will issue an executive order to close Guantanamo within days of entering the White House according to senior advisors. [BBC News]

* Annoyed by your loud neighbors? At least you don’t live on 64th and Lexington next to Berny Madoff (well actually you probably do, I bet those apts. are sweet) His neighbors are incensed by yesterday’s decision to keep Madoff out on bail. Meanwhile, Fairfield Greenwhich has been sued three times by Madoff investors. [Bloomberg.com]

* I served my country, and all I got was special judicial help. An Illinois county is launching a special court to try veterans who commit non-violent crimes. [The Associated Press]

* Obama asked Congress for the second-half of the bailout money so he can stabilize the economy. [The International Herald Tribune]

Having big boobs is a BFOQ for working at Hooters, I would think.

13 fucking read. There was a post on this yesterday. See 9.

You know, for all his liberalism, Elie sure does seem to embrace quite a bit of sexism in ATL's use of pictures. Every "random" female picture is a sexy one and he even chose a photoshopped Sarah Palin to make her look sexy. And yes, I know this particular article was posted by Eliza Grey, but it still is part of the same overarching theme.

Then again, I do love boobies, so I guess I'm ok with it. Just wanted to point out that Elie is a sexist pig.

20, I am going to stab you in the jaw, motherfucker. Read the previous comments. There are only 19 before you so you should be able to get through them by lunch.

Titties are NOT TTT, 28. Not even titties on TTT individuals. Outrageous.

Dear Eliza,

I said MEN. Pictures of hot, semi-naked, MEN.

I trust you will rectify this situation tomorrow.

Thanks.

I could have sworn there was a Hooters-not-hiring-men lawsuit years ago. I know there was one against Southwest "The Love" Airline (and I believe they lost).

36 Posted by guest | Permalink Tuesday, January 13, 2009 12:06 PM

I heard a rumor there may have been layoffs at Cahill Gordon. Can anyone confirm this?

37 Posted by guest | Permalink Tuesday, January 13, 2009 12:06 PM

Your parenthetical in the Madoff write-up makes no sense.

38 Posted by guest | Permalink Tuesday, January 13, 2009 12:07 PM

It's Bernie Madoff, not "Berny."

39 Posted by guest | Permalink Tuesday, January 13, 2009 12:09 PM

You all made a very, very, very ill-advised decision in going to law school. If I were you I would be very afraid.

40 Posted by guest | Permalink Tuesday, January 13, 2009 12:49 PM

39 - why assume that all these people went to law school? Every one of the above posters could be 13 years old, for all we know.

Berny?
