I cant believe that perbert Sandusky is still denying the charges. just admit it and well through you off a cliff you @!$%#ing child molester.
AND I WONT APPOLAGIZE FOR MY LANGUAGE BECAUSE A PERBERT LIKE THAT DESERVCES TO BE CALLED THAT.
THIS Is the one and ONLY thing I support that Bachmann ever said, which is what I would do, is to pummel him. Throw off a cliff. hell have an early start to hell
IT embarrases me that this is in Pa. the gov. while I didnt and will never vote for him, did handle this ok, while fine he handeled this superbly.
but this perbert needs to be locked up. I live within 2 hours of this guy!!!!! he lives next to a @!$%#ing ELEMENTARy school. 5 year olds. and that judge should be locked up too. in a different CELL OF COURSE SO SANDUSKY CANT MOLLEST HER.
I think the word you are looking for is "pervert."
To quote Aahz, from the Myth Adventure books... "That's PERV-ECT!"
Thursday November 17, marks a two month anniversary of OWS - On September 17 a small group of activists marched into WALL STREET and set up the occupation, refusing to leave.
The 1% fear this group of protesters and have done everything in their power to remove the OWS from every city across the country. They, along with the other miss-informed gop, front groups have tried to evict the OCCUPY.
They have posted false noise reports in the media, they have convinced the police to use force, made mass arrest, pepper sprayed, used horses, helicopters, rubber bullets, tear gas. They have destroyed their personal property and planted trouble makers to try and make them look like rarest, crooks, and violent people. They remain and protest the above in a none violent way.
This comes to our country after years of the 1% slowly in the last 30 years, have robbed us, destroyed jobs, and made us slaves to their debt.
stop them now:
http://november17.org
We have made the media discuss jobs,
We have made the media discuss debt
We have made the media discuss inequality,
We have made the media discuss corruption
We have made the media discuss greed,
Now the "SUPER COMMITTEE" is meeting in DC, this top secret meeting is trying to slash Medicare and SS, yet cutting taxes for the 1%. You need to call your congress man now. Only 6 more days....and we can't wait!!!

The democrats have had some amazing results in the last two month, despite, the gop's promise to stop Obama in 2012. We made huge banks abandon debit card fees and moved billions to credit unions. We won key election in Ohio, Mississippi, Arizona and Kentucky....We need to achieve more.
Ed it will be good to here more from Jeff Anderson on this subject. each day this nightmare grows. I hope there's enough to put him away for ever so he will NEVER hurt any child again. I heard at one point his denials are causing them pain and it hurts but when he is prosecuted, finally they will start to heal .
The sexual abuse it terrible…why don't we have the wall-to-wall reporting of the female teachers sexually abusing their male students?
Bill,
boys are very much traumatized by sexual abuse from females.
This fact doesn't get much attention. Most people's reaction is like
Especially when the adult is cute.
But boys do suffer. At the time and for the rest of their lives
Eventually, adult female abuse of boys will get the attention it deserves.
And the injured boys will benefit from it.
As a Social Worker, I worked with Survivors, those who had been abused as children.
One thing all people can do to reduce child abuse, and assist the Survivors of child sexual abuse -
Read the book:
"The Courage to Heal: A Guide for Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse", by Ellen Bass & Laura Davis.
1) It is written for us regular Joe 'n Jane's. In parts or end-to-end.
2) It will help non-abused people understand the problem:
It is time for a Civil Rights movement for CHILDREN:
I'm glad Sandusky spoke. It's a good mistake for children.
Bob Oehmen, Chicago
Mr. Sandusky's lawyer should never have allowed him to do that interview. Our constitution has an amenment called the 5th amendment which protects a person from making incriminating statements. Also the Miranda rights say you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. dint't anybody educate Mr. sandusky and his lawyer about the 5th amendment and the miranda rights. I know i would not want his lawyer representing me
Like much of this story we are not privileged to much of the information surrounding it so we can only engage in supposition. We would have to know what his lawyer advised him regarding giving the interview or not, or if his lawyer was even involved in the decision. If Sandusky told his lawyer he was innocent then the attorney decision to interview was a roll of the dice. If Sandusky told his lawyer there may be substance to the charges and the attorney advised to interview I would say the attorney is lacking experience with this type of case. Of course there are other variables but like I said, either way, it is all supposition.
I've been talking a bit about innocence until proven guilty. Guilty people do lie. But given the above scenario I can assume Mr. Sandusky told his lawyer he is innocent and there would be no other accusers. The attorney must also have read the accusatory documents. I can begin to interpret the attorney actions as weighing heavily toward innocence. Attorneys rarely make such profound mistakes.
So now more alleged victims 'come forward'. How come no one is jumping to conclusions and saying it's payday, they smell money and the like. I mean come on aren't they entitled to the same supposition as Mr. Sandusky.
Now Representative Jackson is calling for this that and the other thing. Yes a National tragedy but nothing new. Nothing like front page news to awake a politician snoozing at the wheel. Perhaps a few more cups of coffee Rep. Jackson will discover there is already 'federal oversight' of state judiciaries. It's called Federal Court and/or The US Dept. of Justice.
As for restitution and shutting charities. Yes we should do this to every charity everywhere that has a bad actor, a lone individual. Who cares about all the good work and benefit and discrediting of the many good individuals doing good work.
Now the David Keith segment was good. This is the kind of stuff that could be worked into the program without irritating viewers. I mean we are supposed to be advocates for good. Even though the subject matter has been around a while it is worth repeating. Yes we can be the new Ad Council.
On Newt. I've believed from the beginning he should not be underestimated. Legalized corruption? I'm sure as his poll numbers rise we'll come up with better stuff than this, not saying it isn't good stuff.
Was going to write something about trickle up economics but I'm having a Herman.
In other news, there was a rise in manufacturing. Poorer school districts in New York are receiving less state aid than well-to do districts. And according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities; Michigan, New Jersey and Wisconsin are raising low-income workers taxes while giving big tax breaks to business.
Nuff said. And thanks for reading. Good night.
I remember talking to my lawyer back in the 70's because a guy was living in my house and was not paying the rent he promised and I was having to make loan payments.
I politly said to my lawyer that I would only be telling the truth. He informed me that a person who does not pay his rent and leaves you hanging is a born crook and has no scruples about telling lies to a judge.
He recommended that I hire some one to beat the hell out of him and make sure he wasn't wearing a ring that might leave a distinctive mark. Of course he was kidding, and I got stuck in the judgement. He lied of course. And there were already so many judgements against the guy, I'm still waiting for the payments. The judge did remove him from my property.
for those that think corporations are people. another blog it was said, when Texas executes a corporation, I'll start thinking of them as people........oh my ribs..........
