In odder news, locally we have a sports reporter named Gerry Sandusky, no relation. He's having a bit of a hard time...
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, was truthful in his testimony (as far as anybody knows), and didn't have a legal duty to report.
But was he truthful in what he reported to Paterno or did he lighten the load, so to speak, about what he saw?

McQueary says he reported to Paterno what he saw. Paterno says McQueary just told him that "something" was going on, but no details.

There's been a lot of talk about how fans should behave at the game on Saturday -- cheering seems wrong, but most of the not-cheering suggestions have either been things that just wouldn't work with a crowd that size. People seem to be agreeing on a blue-out -- like the white-out they usually have for big home games, but instead of everybody wearing white, everybody wears blue, which is the color for child abuse awareness. (Or something -- no one seems to agree on that part.) One of the stores downtown is selling special blue shirts, with all the proceeds going to an organization that helps victims of sexual abuse. It's not a perfect solution, but at least it's having some kind of acknowledgement of the situation. (The shirts say "Stop Abuse" and "Beat Nebraska." I'm not so thrilled with that.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But was he truthful in what he reported to Paterno or did he lighten the load, so to speak, about what he saw?
I've seen reports that he was very specific to Paterno about what happened. Not "possible sex abuse" but "a boy being raped."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A shot of Fernet later. Still pissed and mama-bear mad and frustrated, but not crying anymore. Though I did turn my son into a bar tender cause I couldn't reach the bottle. Bad-mom.

And, police have started using mace on the students downtown.

Do you remember where? I'm asking because all I've read has said that the GA was vague in his conversation with Paterno.
