Burris shaken up by photographers

Burris shaken up by photographers

don’t take it. Ronald Burris was denied today. And looked absolutely pitiful as he fought through a swarm of photographers just before being rejected by his own party. The fact is, when Illinois Governor Blablahgojevich made what seemed to the rest of the country as a hasty, and suspiciously politically correct appointment, everyone realized that Burris would be denied today, and probably for good. Everyone it seems, but Burris. Regardless of his record, or his desire to be Illinois’ next senator, appointment by a governor under these circumstances casts a long shadow on everything he does moving forward. Really bad boss lesson#1 – if everyone thinks your boss is shady, right or wrong, his shadow casts a pall on you too.

Look sexy and wear skirts…

is what Kori Harrison’s boss told her to do to keep her job.  Canadian newspaper, The Providence, reports that 27 year old Kari Harrison was fired after refusing to wear skirts to work for the viewing pleasure or her supervisor, Greg Ford.  Greg also offered to trade truck tires for sexual favors, take her shopping for lingerie and share his  marijuana with her.  Well, the Human Rights Tribunal agreed with Kori’s sexual harassment claim and believed she was fired because she refused to do sexay times with Greg.  Greg was fired and Kori was awarded $32,144 in damages.  Now she can buy her own tires.
