Still crazy after all these years

                                           the latest Paterno to sue Penn State Jay said in today's lawsuit that the taint of the Sandusky scandal that occurred after the Freeh Report ruined his reputation,, effectively ending his career.  Really? Here is the problem Jay, and Charlie Thompson of the Patriot-News explains it well.  " But here's the rub.  Seven of the assistant coaches on Joe Paterno's last staff - all of whom presumably suffered the same Sandusky taint -  are still working in college football, and most of them at major Division I collegiate programs. Even Jay Paterno's co-plaintiff, Kenney, has since been hired on the football staff at Western Michigan University, which competes in the Mid-American Conference." The problem, Jay, is that you would never have coached at the Div. I level were it not for nepotism. Joe hired his son, even though he did not have the skills to hold the job. Eventually, the players on the team hat

Tweet: Will Bill O'Brien become 2014's successful Chip Kelly? Hardly, he has not experienced the kind of success that Ck had at Oregon. http://www.si.com/nfl/2014/07/17/2014-nfl-training-camp-storylines-peyton-manning More: O'Brien had fawning press at Penn State over two years, but I am not convinced he is head NFL coach material. We will see.

This story was a woeful attempt at journalism:  Tweet: Sorry Graham Spanier, a somewhat flattering profile is not going to undo the damage that the Sandusky case has wrought upon a major university. You need to go through a penitential process, and that occur will the upcoming trial of the "PS Three."  The qu

The 2016 Race Some unsolicited advice to Texas Gov. Rick Perry: Even a comedian can see through your glasses shtick. Andy Borowitz nails you. Here is the message. Nothing can work to try and make the Republican voters remember how you flamed out in 2011-12. You actually looked better without the glasses.  Perhaps some wire rims could change their minds? No, too late.  http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2014/07/how-to-look-smarter.html?utm_source=tny&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=borowitz&mbid=nl_Borowitz%20(102)

Thank you, Ted Kennedy, for leading the charge to keeping Robert Bork off the Supreme Court.  If Bork was on the court right now, he would make Antonin Scalia, one of the most reactionary justices in history, look like a moderate. To think that we needed just four votes to kill the candidacy of Clarence Thomas.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/19/ted-kennedy-robert-bork_n_2332730.html On the floor of the U.S. Senate, Kennedy said, "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, Blacks would sit in segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizen's doors in midnight raids, and school children could not be taught about evolution, and writers and artists would be censured at the whim of government." http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2012/12/19/167645600/robert-borks-supreme-court-nomination-changed-everything-maybe-forever

Politico lowers itself to the pits (can they go any lower?)  by interviewing the Cheney family. perhaps the most despicable group of people on the planet.  Suddenly, reality strikes when a woman has who has handcuffs and is seeking to arrest the worst of the family and is seeking the "war criminal."  Why do people in the media talk to these #$$@$% ? http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/07/14/dick-cheney-interview-interrupted-when-protester-with-handcuffs-attempts-to-arrest-him-video/

My favorite social comedian, Andy Borowitz, has a great column about the despicable majority members of the U.S. Supreme Court -- featuring one of them: Churches in the Sixth Century had more modern views about rights of women than Justice Antonin Scalia.  Right on, Andy! He is really pathetic. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/borowitzreport/2014/07/church-founded-in-sixth-century-has-more-modern-views-on-women-than-scalia.html?utm_source=tny&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=borowitz&mbid=nl_Borowitz%20(101)

The quote that is a game-changer:  "After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps. I am having trouble with going to everyone but the person involved. I would be more comfortable meeting with the person and tell them about the information we received and tell them we are aware of the first situation."   Athletic Director Tim Curley, 2001, CNN. The Paterno Family who survive the late coach Joe Paterno is fighting very hard to force Penn State to incur thousands -- perhaps tens of thousands -- of dollars in debt in their current lawsuit against the NCAA and PSU.  According to an Associated Press story released on July 9, Penn State wants to limit the legal discovery that the Paterno family desires in the case. The Family is attempting to force both the NCAA and Penn State to submit tens of thousands of documents to it such as e-mails
