Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Earlier today, about 15 students and alumni were protesting in front of the administration building, many of them calling for Paterno to resign. Now, there are about 200 students in front of Paterno's house, rallying to show their support for him and protect him from the media.

Because books.

Is the call for his retirement based on him knowing what this other coach did? (I haven't really been following the story.)

Yeah. He knew back in 2002. He followed his legal obligation to report it to his supervisors, but when his supervisors did nothing (for which they're being charged, because they had a legal responsibility to notify the police), Paterno didn't do anything either or follow up on it, even though he knew that the other coach was still working with kids.

Timelies all!

Had another crappy night's sleep. Am surprised I'm not sleepy.

Oh, Joe Pa. Not the way to go out after your career. Damn.

Okay, that's revolting. I'm sorry: he was told directly in 2002 that his employee was found raping a ten-year-old boy in the locker room. And he did nothing.

I just looked up where Paterno's house is. I've ridden my bike past there a ton of times without realizing it was his house.

That is absolutely horrifying. What happened, and that no one did anything.
