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

What I want to know is did the custodian and the GA having seen that coach raping a little boy(s) - intervene directly right there and why not?

Yeah. I especially want to know this about Mike McQueary. The janitor who saw it was an older man, who has dementia now and was most likely in the early stages then. But Mike McQueary was a 27-year-old former football player. And he continued to see Sandusky around town supervising kids for the next ten years, and said nothing.

What I couldn't remember this morning was how this all came to light now. How did this story break?

One of the kids told a counselor at his school.

Because books.

Thanks, Hil.

I just saw video of the students at the campus last night. So disgusting.

I really hope McQueary is not coaching on Saturday, but it looks like the plan is that he will be.

Oh, wonderful. Westboro Baptist is coming to protest at the Penn State football game on Saturday.

Is it wrong of me to hope they end up in the middle of a mob of drunk and angry football fans?

Seriously, though. This just gets worse and worse the more news that comes out. A life-long friend of mine teaches at Penn State, and he's just beyond appalled right now.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

What exactly are the Westboro Baptist people for or against in this situation?

They are for getting themselves in the media spotlight. No more, no less.

Anything that will give them a chance to file a lawsuit against someone. Of course, if they end up in the angry mob, they may not be capable of suing anyone afterwards.

Can there be anyone left in that congregation who was simply looking for a church community?

Amy,

that is an extremely funny foundation for a Daily Show skit. Can you imagine someone looking for a church community, finds them by accident, and horror and hijinks ensue.
