Penn State Said to Be Planning Paterno’s Exit Amid Scandal
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno’s tenure as coach of the Penn State football team will soon be over, perhaps within days or weeks, in the wake of a sex-abuse scandal that has implicated university officials, according to two people briefed on conversations among the university’s top officials.
The board of trustees has yet to determine the precise timing of Paterno’s exit, but it is clear that the man who has more victories than any other coach at college football’s top level and who made Penn State a prestigious national brand will not survive to coach another season. Discussions about how to manage his departure have begun, according to the two people.
Someone’s not getting a hanukkuh card this year
(Reuters) – French President Nicolas Sarkozy branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “a liar” in a private conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama that was accidentally broadcast to journalists during last week’s G20 summit in Cannes.
“I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” Sarkozy told Obama, unaware that the microphones in their meeting room had been switched on, enabling reporters in a separate location to listen in to a simultaneous translation.
“You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you,” Obama replied, according to the French interpreter.
The technical gaffe is likely to cause great embarrassment to all three leaders as they look to work together to intensify international pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.

Nittany Lyin’
This is the end for Paterno. How and why they kept a lid on this thing for at least a decade is incomprehensible. Inside is an excerpt from the grand jury indictment of Sandusky. I must warn you it’s very disturbing… (more…)

The beginning of the End?
- Our straight talking Herman Cain was uncharacteristically evasive when pressed about sexual harassment charges.
- Listening to him last night, it was painfully obvious that he knows very little about foreign policy.
- He has a total of nine staffers working in Iowa.It’s been a nice run, but it appears the consensus pick of Juggernuts is not ready for prime time.

Firing Squad Coming
I am putting myself out here for the killing. I support the Occupy Movement. Probably not a surprise to anyone here. Police slamming unarmed women on the sidewalks and military veterans getting severely injured just because they were speaking out using the freedom they fought for, but finding that freedom denied makes me hate police and the way our political system is running. Screw Congress and law enforcement. I’m going to join in the protests. I believe in them. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young lyrics “Tin soldiers and Nixon’s coming..four dead in Ohio” keep going through my mind. Let them protest. They have a right to speak out.

Republican Bashing
Believe it or not, I am having trouble coming up with anything to say about the Republican candidates. All my material is being used up by the candidates themselves during the debates. They can’t even get along. They can’t agree with themselves. They look like grade school kids fighting over who is going to sit in the back seat of the bus on the field trip.
