Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Ugh, Suzi.

Disgusting. He signed-off on barring Sandusky from bringing minors on campus but still he's shocked, shocked that anything untoward may have prompted such a bizarre step.
Man, and it just keeps getting worse. I'm ready to drink myself into oblivion tonight. CJ is home and I'm trying to put up a good front cause he doesn't need to be in the middle of this.

Students are starting to gather outside the administration building, chanting "fuck the board." Estimate last night was 1,000 students rallying downtown, but they mostly went home when they saw the police show up with riot gear. I hope nothing happens tonight.
I really don't get it.
No matter what your loyalties, raping children ought to ping your conscience. Raise some red flags. It should check you.
When you hear that one of your coaches is fucking a 10 year old boy against his will in the locker room? You should want to put that coach in jail.
Your first thought should not be: "I need to protect the university!"
Followed by: "Hey, I know that guy and I should protect him."
Anyway, I'm sure the gist of the Trustees meeting was along that line.
Students are starting to gather outside the administration building, chanting "fuck the board."
Well, fuck them. Dumbass tribal loyalties. Grow a pair of ethics, kids.
That's a great story, Connie. Really *intent* is key and easily lost in translation.
So what are people's thoughts on pet insurance? I've never had a pet that has belonged to me medical-expense-wise, and it all sounds mighty spendy, which is fine, but not until I'm actually able to afford it, so I'm just wondering. Has anyone had, used, liked it? Why, yes, I want a rescue kitty as soon as I can realistically afford to care for one.
My parents' got it after one of their dogs had spendy, spendy cancer and no insurance. It's been well utilized on at least one subsequent puppy and saved a fortune in vet bills. I just emailed to see what kind they have.
I wish I had with Kittenish (hi, sarameg in not wanting to add the bills up) but once I knew about it, she was old and infirm.
From the PS pres's letter of resig:
I would never hesitate to report a crime if I had any suspicion that one had been committed.
Fuck you, you did just that. College employees might not be mandated reporters, but I have basically NO sympathy for anyone who does not report witnessing, or having a subordinate report witnessing, a crime. You do not have the authority to investigate and judge in the justice system. But you had a civic and moral responsibility. You failed. Fuck you.
