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.
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.
I'm sorry: he was told directly in 2002 that his employee...
That is absolutely horrifying. What happened, and that no one did anything.
he was told by a grad student, if you can imagine. the grad student witness the guy raping a kid in the locker room.
that poor grad student.
The alma mater includes the line "May no act of ours bring shame." I've been hearing people quoting that all day as a way of saying that Paterno should resign because he didn't live up to that ideal. But the students in front of his house are singing it now. I have no idea what they're trying to say with it.
"PENN STATE FUCK YEAH" maybe?
I am so sad about Heavy D! Damn.
And a big gold star for Amy! (You just have to imagine it.)
I can totally see it!
I had no idea about any of that with Penn State. That's horrifying.
Jilli, I did a Jaw-dropGaspDROOL when I saw the pic of your boots! SO. JEALOUS.
Those are gorgeous, and just perfect for you.

I didn't know about the Penn State thing either. That's awful.
