Settlements and setbacks in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• New York Governor David Paterson cost taxpayers $300,000, as the state quietly settled a racial-discrimination lawsuit charging Paterson fired a White Senate photographer to replace him with a Black photographer. The alleged act took place in 2003 when Paterson was Senate minority leader. Gee, Paterson sometimes makes his predecessor, Eliot Spitzer, look like a Boy Scout.
• Under Armour Inc. is recalling over 200,000 athletic cups, citing the protective devices can break when hit, potentially causing serious injury. Exactly how do these things get safety-tested to begin with? The company probably employs ex-CIA personnel with torture expertise—or dominatrixes.
• The CEO of Monster.com saw his compensation decline 37 percent in 2008. Granted, he still collected $8.2 million, so it’s not like he’ll be trolling his company’s job listings anytime soon.
