Opinion:

Let me start by saying that I had no intention whatsoever in posting any articles regarding the Penn State scandal involving Sandusky, Paterno, and the other folks involved in this mess.  There are numerous reports already focusing on this subject, and quite frankly, it is long overdue.

Then I remembered how much hell was given to the King of Pop, Mr. Micheal J. Jackson, who, too, underwent worse scrutiny than this Sandusky guy, involving children.  Thankfully, he was cleared of those charges, but the public and mainstream media had a field day at Mr. Michael Jackson's expense.


So, yeah, Sandusky should be put through the same ringer as Jackson, but worse because this scandal was all about MONEY!  And dare I say, perhaps there is a dark murky secret that lies within Sandusky that hasn't yet surfaced.

However, this particular article I was reading moments ago puzzles me.  Based on the following written article, last paragraph:

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, the former attorney general who launched the investigation two years ago, said on “Meet the Press” Sunday that McQueary failed in his “moral obligation” to report the alleged rape to authorities.

Granted, McQueary should have notified the proper authorities about what he saw, but the question remains: Since an investigation was launched two years ago by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett, then former attorney general, why didn't he take it further himself?  After all, he was the Attorney General for crying out loud!

'Moral obligation.'  Hhmm.  


It was a moral obligation for the Attorney General to do his due diligence also.  So why is McQueary being solely blamed for not reporting the incident to the "proper authorities?"  Isn't the job of an attorney general proper enough for someone to tackle the situation?


Frankly speaking, Corbett should be put into the same criminal bag of laundry right along with Sandusky, Paterno, McQueary, and the whole kit and kubudle!  Yeah, I said it, and I'm sticking to it, damn it!

Maybe it is me who is not reading this article correctly.  What is exactly the role of an attorney general?  Oh well, here is the news article below:

Activists Discourage Muslims From Talking To NYPD

NEW YORK  — After a decade of the police spying on the innocuous details of the daily lives of Muslims, activists in New York are discouraging people from going directly to the police with their concerns about terrorism, a campaign that is certain to further strain relations between the two groups.


Muslim community leaders are openly teaching people how to identify police informants, encouraging them to always talk to a lawyer before speaking with the authorities and reminding people already working with law enforcement that they have the right to change their minds.

Personally speaking, I think it is a damn shame that in today's society we have to write an article about the dangers of having sex with animals.  Yeah, I said it, and I'm sticking to it, damn it!

Sex With Animals Can Lead To Penis Cancer: Study

If you're searching for a reason not to have sex with animals, add this to the list: It could give you penis cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

The authors found that men who have had sex with animals were twice as likely to develop penile cancer as those who stick with their own kind.

Lead author Stenio de Cassio Zequi, a urologist in Sao Paulo, gave Live Science his theory explaining the increased risk.

"We think that the intense and long-term SWA [sex with animals] practice could produce micro-traumas in the human penile tissue," Zequi said. "The genital mucus membranes of animals could have different characteristics from human genitalia, and the animals' secretions are probably different from human fluids. Perhaps animal tissues are less soft than ours, and non-human secretions would be toxic for us."

Funeral held in Philadelphia for boxing great Joe Frazier

Boxing great Joe Frazier was laid to rest Monday in Philadelphia, one week after dying of liver cancer and four decades after capturing the world's attention in an epic showdown with Muhammad Ali.


Ali was among those at Frazier's private funeral at Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church, along with other boxing luminaries such as promoter Don King and current World Boxing Council champion Bernard Hopkins, video from CNN affiliate CSN Philly showed. Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter were also in attendance.

A program for the service billed it as the "Homegoing Celebration of Joseph Frazier," offering friends and family one last chance to pay their respects to the late 67-year-old athlete.

He died November 7, just a month after being diagnosed with liver cancer.

The cause of Zhitomirskiy’s death in San Francisco wasn’t immediately known, and neither the company nor the San Francisco Medical Examiner’s office would release details.

“I’ve never seen anything grow this fast that isn’t hugely supported by something,” says Zada, who hoped around 100,000 people would enjoy his side project. He threw the script together in about 30 minutes, and with the collaborative efforts of his production company, Tool of North America, and developer Jason Nickel, completed the interactive video in four weeks. It was simply a side project for Halloween.

“I just wanted to scare people. It’s kind of a horror movie that has no blood, no guts, but there’s this person that you don’t want looking at your information,” says Zada. “And that to me was the scariest of all.”
