Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

The main campus also has a child care center named for Schultz, one of the administrators charged.

This is why buildings should only be named after people who are dead.

Ultimately, I think this is a reflection of the corrupting nature of big money college sports. After years of turning a blind eye to supporters' supplying cars, apartments, cash and hookers to top players and to professors passing athletes who can't read, your vision gets cloudy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just read an article on HuffPo that makes me think this story is going to get worse.

Liese, those are awesome!!

Not a guarantee, but a good start.

Whoops, Jessica, I guess your mother's cousin, Martha.

Cincinnati is such a funny small town in some ways. My mother said that when she married my father his mother tried to introduce her to her "society friends" but she was too shy. I said, "They were all nice Jewish housewives who played Mah-Johngg! That's not 'society'".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

All it is, really, is a big small town, where high school sports are king.

I believe I know which one you mean, and if it's true, I might be physically ill.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Whoops, Jessica, I guess your mother's cousin, Martha.

Still, small world. She lives in the DC area so I'm a lot closer to her kids (my second cousins) than I am to many of my first cousins.

What does that make The Reds?

And to punctuate my rant about big-money sports, the news just noted that Penn State football brought in $73 million last year.

Oy.

A friend just approvingly posted a link to a defense of Paterno that starts in total Nice Guy "here's examples of how so many people are falsely accused" and how poor lil Joe trusted that the people he reported to would do the right thing yadda yadda. Ugh. I'm holding back from responding because the friend is generally a good guy but is himself the son of the president of one of the major state sports universities and I can't see the conversation going anywhere good.

And THEN as I'm writing this my old minion emails to remind me that Sandusky used to frequent our offices at my old firm, and now I'm entirely skeeved.

(And extra glad I didn't respond to the post because it occurs to me that it's highly likely the first friend actually knows Paterno and Sandusky and the crew. Certainly his father does.
