When Christina Gamble fell and hurt her back in 2007, she told her doctor that the resulting injuries made it difficult for her to change positions or stand for long periods of time.  Of course, none of the mentions anything about taking off her clothes, so while the 43-year-old Ms. Gamble drew $22,000 in worker’s compensation, she was also moonlighting as a stripper in Quakertown, Pennsylvania.

The best part of this story is undoubtedly the name of Ms. Gamble’s employer:  C.R. Fanny’s Gentlemen’s Club and Sports Bar.  I’d imagine she made as much money off her stripping customers from the brokerage as she did while on the government dole.  While stripping does have its occupational hazards, the pay is undoubtedly really good otherwise fewer people would do it.

Maybe she wasn’t actually defrauding the government.  Maybe she just gave couch dances, or worked the cane instead of working the pole.  I wonder… if she got hurt while stripping, would she be able to draw worker’s comp for that, or are strippers independent contractors free from having to pay into worker’s comp insurance coffers?

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
