Gee whiz. I wonder who she voted for in 2008?

No I don't.

Giving true meaning to the statement, “the only way I would hit that is, if you paid me.”

[Sooth2222]

"despite months of objections from his direct supervisor, who argued Caniezo had not earned the raises."

I'd say he earned the $40,000, and more.

I want a full body shot before I vote to convict

Obviously none of the extra money went to his vision care...

[liberalh8ter]

Stoopid liberal! She should have just said she was “redistributing” some wealth; from the white collars to a blue collar. They would have given her an award!

[Mr. K]

she doesn’t look like the type that would need to pay for sex

[nascarnation]

“assistant vice chancellor”

doesn’t sound all that prestigious does it?

making 200 grand + great benefits

confirms my thesis

unlimited subsidized student loans >>
allows schools to charge outrageous tuition >>
allows schools to pay profs and admins huge salaries >>
profs and admins donate to Democrats

(and repeat)

it being CA she's lucky he doesn't sue to continue the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed (which apparently involves living with the lights off and visualizing Eva Mendes)

The head of a Newport Beach in SoCal did the same and got jail time.

[Lancey Howard]

(shrug) Why shouldn't she give her date a raise? It's not her money.

Life imitates Seinfeld ping.

JERRY: So you’re having sex and then all of a sudden, you just blurt out “I’m giving you a raise.”

GEORGE: Yeah.

JERRY: Just a quick sidebar here — are you in anyway authorized to give raises?

GEORGE: Not that I’m aware of, no.

JERRY: So you’re so grateful to have sex, that you’ll just shout out anything that comes into your head.

GEORGE: I didn’t think ahead.

JERRY: Well maybe she’ll just think it was bawdy talk.

GEORGE: I didn’t say any other bawdy things.

JERRY: Maybe you could have sex with her again and then take it back.

GEORGE: All right, you know you’re not any help at all here. I don’t know what even the point is of talking to you anymore.

(they stand up from their seats at the booth)

JERRY: All right, all right. I’m sorry.

GEORGE: Yeah, well, I guess the only thing I can do is go into George Steinbrenner’s office and tell him he has to give her a raise.

JERRY: How long has she been there?

GEORGE: 3 days.

Had this been about lesbians Berkley would be celebrating it.

Jury does need more evidence...

[Vendome]

I don’t think she had a choice....

And people wonder why college is so expensive.

This women and her boyfriend should have been fired.
