Someone in my tweeters said fired, but it's a responsible journalist someone and not a random someone, if that helps.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm watching the press conference on local TV now.

Iiinteresting.
I'm amused that my sorta-hippy-conservationist-organic/peace-corp-naturalist neighbors' wedding celebrations out in the midwest was SO midwestern, as evidenced by their pictures. Silly stupid wedding games, casseroles, etc. It's funny, cause I can't see either of them doing that here AT ALL, but both of them are from ND with family now relocated to MN, so they had the wedding out there. And apparently embraced their roots.

News from press conference: Paterno is no longer head coach of the football team, and Spanier is no longer president of the university.
This morning I wrote, scanned, and sent a letter to your Board of Trustees, reminding them of their responsibilities. I had a faculty meeting at lunch and discovered five other people who had done the same.
When I got back to my office I got an email from the Trustee's listserve noting that they could only process 900 emails an hour, and mine had not been delivered yet. It was delivered four hours later. So we know that they have been getting plenty of advice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow.

According to the Harrisburg Press-Herald, they were forced to resign, which I guess is effectively the same as fired.

::steam:: I SO want to punch someonesomething right now. Ok, ok, it is KCD. I can't even explain the current crap, but it is more maddening than anything I have shared. CJ isn't home, K-Bug is in her room crying, and I'm spitting mad. And there ain't crap I can do about it. F*ck, I wish I could have a good cry and let this go. But it isn't something I can let go - he needs to do his part.
Technically I could go punch pads at the dojo but I'm afraid I'd screw up my shoulder worse that it currently is.

CNN says "Legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno and school President Graham Spanier have lost their jobs effective immediately, university trustees announced. "
That sounds like fired. It's a start.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, I read that the PSU President turned in a letter of resignation. Sounds like it was at the board's urging.
My friend who used to work there said that Spanier ate, drank, and breathed PSU so this will be a tough situation for him.
Oh well.
