Scum

Without reading the Louis Freeh report regarding the Penn State scandal I can’t report on the facts that were in front of him.
But the NCAA read the report and they slapped Penn State with a series of penalties this morning to include:

* A fine of $60 million on the University (equivalent to proceeds of one year) — An endowment will be established to be used around the nation to serve victims of child abuse

* Penn State Football will be banned from bowl games and post season play for 4 years

* Initial scholarship reduced from 25 to 15 per year for four years

* Entering and returning athletes are able to transfer and immediately complete

* NCAA to vacate all wins of the football team from 1998 to 2011 and record will reflect change

* Football program on 5-year probationary period

* NCAA reserve right to initiate an investigation and impose sanctions on individuals

The NCAA said other corrective actions will be put into place to ensure the changes occur so there are even more problems coming.

The fine of $60 million, I think, is small, but it goes to the NCAA so with that in mind it’s appropriate. Besides, Penn State is subject to a whole stack of civil lawsuits that will rock their bank accounts and the residents of the state as well.

So here is the lesson – Football just isn’t that important. Need anyone say more?

And I will say this…ANYONE and EVERYONE who was involved in the scandal and/or cover-up of the scandal is/was a scumbag.

Batman isn’t that important either, ok? People really need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop living in fantasy land all day long.

We have all heard about the mass shooting in Aurora, CO a few days ago now perpetrated by some freak who was obsessed by Batman.

I’d hate to suggest that people who walk around at any time of the year besides Halloween in costume should be placed on a watch list but…ok, forget that…I DO suggest that now.

I already hate going to the movies because of the use of cellphones by people who think that they are so important that they need to text back and forth with other people during the movie. I hate all of the talking and extra noise as well. But now I have to think in the back of my mind that a copy-cat freak possibly wearing a Penguin costume is going to jump out and start blowing people away with a machine gun disguised as a walking cane.

This is why I bought an HD projector and built a mini-theater in my basement. I just need a popcorn machine down there and I am all set.

What made me sick in the aftermath was the talk about “gun control” again. Let’s be perfectly clear here. If some of the movie-goers were packing heat this scumbag doesn’t kill and injure as many people as he did.
Because, and let’s face facts now, he got all of his weaponry despite efforts at control.
But law-abiding citizens don’t carry their guns (if they are legal owners) into places, like movie theaters, where they say that no guns are allowed. So the only people who then bring in their guns to places like that are those with criminal intent in mind. Law and rule abiding citizens are at a disadvantage at all times.
Ironically, the same people who are pro gun control are probably the same people who cry about having a “level playing field” or cry about “spreading the wealth around” in other areas. Well, morons, then let the playing field be level and allow us to take full advantage of our 2^nd amendment rights and allow us the CHANCE to protect ourselves AT ALL TIMES.

The London Olympics are fraught with all sorts of difficulties so far. Cold and rainy weather is expected, strikes by taxi drivers, border guards and others are expected, and terrorist threats have already been received.
But the athletes have access to 150,000 free condoms so I guess it won’t be all that bad for them!
London better not allow scumbags to mess up the Olympics.

They start Friday. I pray that those two weeks will restore some of my faith.
