Text of the page (random words):
ky being allowed to run amok if those in charge had cared about kids more than they did about football sandusky would have been arrested years ago the penn st community seems to have no idea how dangerously close they are to becoming an utter joke the behavior of their athletic department has diminished the value of every penn st degree now they ve hired louis freeh to do their internal investigation freeh is unethical political hack who was known for twisting investigations to fit his own agenda while running the fbi it s like hiring jack abramoff to investigate your own recruiting violations this makes it obvious that protecting their football program is more important than justice and more importnat than the school as a whole university of san francisco voluntarily eliminated their basketball program after a scandal that was nowhere near as big as this is smu did the same in football they both understood that an out of control athletic department can make the entire school look bad and hurts every single grad no one wants their degree to be associated solely with cheating in sports and no one should want their degree to be associated in the public mind with covering up for pedophiles penn st needs to send the message that their school is not defined by their athletics and the only way to do it at this late date is to turn down any bowl game offered forfeit all games from this year and eliminate their football program i m sure the big10 would work out a deal to allow them to sit out a few years then bring it back if not having no program at all would be preferable to having an out of control program bring dishonor to everything you stand for posted by william at 22 00 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday november 09 2011 a penn st alum writes on the scandal the amount of negligence is hard to believe to begin with and almost impossible to believe from an institution held in such high regard by so many if the allegations are true every penn state alum who has walked the campus over the past 15 years will have to come to terms with the fact that they were lied to every single day of their enrollment their tuition dollars helped bankroll the lie the university seeking to avoid scandal addressed the matter only in whispers audible only to them by not acting school officials were complicit in jerry sandusky s alleged crimes their silence allowed a pattern of abuse to develop and flourish they chose the reputation of a school legend over the children whose lives he was ruining in putting the football program over right and wrong the university was badly missing the point but so too is the current student body many of who have taken to the streets of state college to riot or rally or whatever you want to call it it s the same stupid mob they form every time they re emotional about anything even as i type they are protesting what looks to be the imminent departure of joe paterno not wanting the school s greatest icon to meet disgrace in the process they are destroying the last vestiges of penn state s integrity valuing the reputation of a school legend over any and all else it doesn t matter to them that paterno s judgment informing school officials and letting it go at that put more children in harm s way it s got to be rough for someone who was so clearly proud of the school they attended nice that he has the perspective to realize that the school s reputation and its football program got in the way of protecting kids and that can t be allowed to happen posted by william at 14 37 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest anyone worrying about the effect of this child molestation scandal on the penn st football program is like someone watching a neighbor s house burn down with the entire family inside then complaining that an ambulance parked on his lawn how this affects the team or the rest of this season is completely irrelevant it doesn t matter in the slightest it should not be taken into account at all just saw that joe paterno has announced he ll retire at the end of the year and has essentially ordered the board of trustees not to waste any time discussing his status that s not his call to make nor should he be allowed to finish out the season or retire on his own terms paterno should be fired his statue should be pulled down and he should be considered an utter disgrace forever some idiot anchor on sportscenter referred to this as a sex scandal it needs to get called what it actually was a child molestation scandal or even a child rape scandal what happened doesn t have any connection to what normal people think of as sex please call it what it was posted by william at 13 08 email this blogthis share to

important than the lives of non famous people i have paid absolutely no attention to the trial so have no opinion to his guilt i do however seriously doubt that he d have been charged with anything if the corpse in question was that of a nobody i also doubt he could get a fair trial in the zoo like atmosphere at the courthouse my favorite was the giant we miss michael sign which had nothing to do with the dr s guilt but everything to do with why he was on trial posted by william at 15 34 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest same old same old the more i think about the paterno penn st thing the more it reminds me of cardinal law archbishop of the boston diocese in both cases we have men who utterly dominated the institutions they were part of who were more concerned with protecting their reputations than protecting kids neither is in any danger of spending one day in jail nor will either ever be charged with a crime both law and paterno however are morally culpable for what they allowed to happen what they covered up and the fact that they could have protected children and chose not to posted by william at 15 33 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday november 06 2011 joe paterno should go to jail a graduate assistant walked in on former paterno assistant coach jerry sandusky anally penetrating a 10 year old the graduate assistant went to his dad and they together went to paterno he told the athletic director who apparently did nothing every single adult who knew about this sexual abuse had a duty to go to the police reporting it to your boss is not what is required calling the police is but paterno was worried about his reputation and that of penn state football he was certainly more worried about them than he was about the kids getting molested so he didn t go to the police and sandusky was free to keep molesting kids using as cover a charity he d founded and to which his association with penn st football had given prestige paterno the graduate assistant his dad the athletic director and anyone else who knew about this and did nothing should go to jail they won t because famous people like paterno aren t held to the same laws as everyone else they won t because some cowards in the da s office are afraid that charging joepa would trainwreck their careers they won t because we excuse not making waves and passing the buck if it keeps us winning regardless of the cost but make no excuses joe paterno should go to jail posted by william at 00 49 email this blogthis share to x

capabilities but that would actually be a good thing for the united states shrinking the u s military would not only save a fortune but also encourage policymakers to employ the armed services less promiscuously keeping american troops and the country at large out of needless trouble especially for the last two decades the united states considerable wealth and fortunate geography have made global adventurism seem largely costless the 2011 u s military budget of nearly 700 billion is higher in real terms than at any point during the cold war posted by william at 21 03 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday november 03 2011 people who are still hung up on the liberal media angle are totally missing the point first we need to establish what we mean by the media while someone on the police beat for the sacramento bee or writing movie reviews for the dayton daily news is technically just as much of the media as is anderson cooper or shepard smith they re not who we re talking about we re talking about the fairly limited number of people almost all of them working for big media conglomerates who actually have power to drive the narrative or frame the national debate these opinion makers are at the core financially well off people working for corporations in big cities guess the opinion of a well off corporate city dweller on an issue and that s likely what the media consensus will be it s basically liberal on social issues and corporate conservative on fiscal ones but with some twists the media tends to be reflexively patriotic and pro troops not because they ve ever served in the military but because they haven t they re afraid enough of being seen against the troops as the media was seen during vietnam that they d rather just abdicate the power to hold nuanced positions on any military issues they re not very religious but feel kinda guilty about it so extremely religious people make them uncomfortable but so does openly making fun of people who are they re pro choice pro gay rights and think guns are bad things these things make them look liberal sexual harassment or discrimination is a big deal to them but employees getting screwed out of overtime or getting their jobs outsourced overseas really isn t they work for big corporations have generous healthcare packages have no real financial problems and likely have big investment portfolios the unemployment rate could shoot to 20 and it would only affect them indirectly they pay lip service to things that don t affect them like public education their kids all go to private schools and universal healthcare but they won t lose sleep over them so for them the health of the economy is based on how the stock market is doing and maybe the price of gas if the market is booming while everything else stagnates they d see the economy as doing nicely if the market cratered while real wages went up and unemployment went down they d think everything was going to hell so when you see the talking heads going on about something or ignoring something else think about where they re coming from posted by william at 18 41 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday november 02 2011 like most people i assumed the big runup in oil prices in the middle of last decade was due to increased worldwide demand and the ongoing instability in the middle east only recently have i learned that those causes which can actually be attributed to cause and effect were secondary to one which was entirely not as it turns out a huge part of the increase in commodity prices during those years had nothing to do with supply and demand if it did then it s not likely that every single major traded commodity would have a big price runup during those years but that s what happened what caused a massive price runup in all the big traded commodities including oil was the influx into the market of truly massive amount of money from speculators since speculators in commodities are almost always taking the long position this influx of money caused a massive spike in commodity prices as the money poured in since unfortunately we as consumers are at the mercy of those same commodity prices we ended up paying massively more for energy and for everything else of course the oil companies and various dictatorships selling the oil ended up with way way more money than they should have gotten posted by william at 17 33 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday november 01 2011 when talking about the bailouts it s often mentioned that almost everyone involved had a banking background but it s not mentioned how that really changed things the authors of bailout nation with new post crisis update how greed and easy money corrupted wall street and shook the world economy mentioned that the problem was that they focused on saving the individual banks rather than saving the banking system to save the banking system you need certain things 1 guarantees to deposits and enough depositor confidence to stop runs on the banks 2 enough liquidity to make sure the short term loans that so many businesses rely on keep getting made 3 some mechanism for making the long term loans like mortgages and business expansion loans we really just needed to prevent a run on the banks and to make sure enough lending still took place to keep the economy from grinding to a halt we didn t actually need any of the troubled banks to survive every single one of those banks could have gone under while the banking system itself kept going the surviving banks would have expanded to fill the void in retail services once the banks assets and outstanding loans had been sold off at their discounted actual value not at the amounts they d originally been booked for there likely would have been enough to keep the fdic from shelling out too much to guarantee deposits the bondholders would ve ended up with pennies on the dollar and the owners of stock would ve gotten nothing at all but those are the risks of the free market if you invest money in companies with shaky business practices you re likely to lose out the government would have been on the hook for some cash through the fdic but it wouldn t have needed to guarantee hundreds of billions of dollars in crappy loans but to a banker the idea of letting bank of america citibank and so many others just go under is just intolerable they lost sight of the goal of saving the banking system and made the goal the saving of the banks themselves thus we end up with our current system of capitalism when things are going good and socialism the minute things go to hell if you want the big rewards that come with risk you need to pay the price of those risks if they blow up in your face otherwise there s never an incentive not to take crazier and crazier risks posted by william at 22 55 email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to
