*Spike Jonze gets hired, Spike Lee tweets his own home address*

the first move in this offseason’s quarterback race

But with the quarterback market being what it is, every move is going to look like a gamble.

Elway’s so lucky Peyton fell in his lap, good lord

Emmitt Till says hi. For real after watching that dreadful five part piece of therapy for white people on ESPN OJ Made In America I thought I was done with this shit. Sorry the fact that Marcia Clark spent that whole movie blaming everyone but herself for failing to get a conviction is why I don’t give two shits about…

All the LAPD had to do was collect and file the evidence. Instead, they wanted to administer justice rather than let the system do it through legal means. They tried to fuck with evidence and got burned. If anyone wants to get mad, that’s where to start.

She also asserted that her tax dollars somehow go towards Thorpe and Tyson’s salaries. That’s definitely not how taxes work, but believing so is definitely how being a wretched white person in America works.

I too have always believed that it was much more than likely that OJ killed those people. At the same time I also believed that Cochrane did his job and the prosecution (and the police) did not. That’s the American justice system for you. *shrug*

I don’t see exactly why this interview was aired. I mean I never believed he was innocent. I thought he was guilty and I thought that the prosecution ought to have lost that case. I guess I can be amused by the thumbing of the nose at white people who can be outraged once again at the fact that OJ got away with it but…

And do that many people not know what the CEO/owner of their company looks like? At big chain places I guess I can sort of get that, but I feel like they’ve done this at smaller companies too. Like you couldn’t just drop my CEO into my department at work and tell me he was new employee Joe Joerson. I’d recognize him…

I love HamNo on economics. Guaranteed anti-corporatism, guaranteed assertion that for some reason a dude stacking shelves is entitled to similar pay as the CEO because something something.

“Undercover Boss” is always a fascinating concept to me. The rank and file has to know what’s up. If you drop a doughy, late 50's white guy with no callouses, no clue how to do actual work and followed by a camera crew into my job, my radar is going off.

//You do not need a degree in business or accounting to know that it is unfair for the CEO of your company to make in one year what it would take you three or four hundred years to make. //

No, I don’t know this. Wages are set by supply and demand and there is a huge demand for competent CEO’s.

One of the theories for _why_ US CEO pay is so out of whack is actually because it’s been mandated public knowledge for quite a while (since the 80s, IIRC). This leads to new CEO hires saying “we know the CEO average in our industry is $10M, so surely I’m better than average, right board?”. Since every CEO thinks…

Is there evidence that shows that the pay is actually worth the benefit of that person? would someone do just as good a job for millions less?

My wife just got told that everybody in her company either has to take a certain percentage of a pay cut this year, or take a week unpaid off. I asked her if the CEO was taking a pay cut. First she treated my question as asinine, and then said she’d have to check, but there wasn’t anything in the message he’d sent…

I think at least as much of this is about fear that other CEOs will see what the other ones are making and demand more, as it is about the temporary PR embarrassment that the CEO is being paid 500 times as much as the median worker (they can just answer that with the usual “we pay competitive wages, blah, blah,…

If the Phillies believe they can challenge for the NL East in the next three years, first of all they’re wrong (Go Nats)...

Easily you’re best post. Todays been great.
