Yeah: I've been waiting for that one since this morning. But it's not our buddy Rick Ass-Juice, but rather the dreaded Peter Labarbera? Why, just last week he was all busy telling psychologists who renounced the ex-gay movement that they had to turn in their "Christian" cards because you can't be Christian and tolerate gays. He's really getting around!

Oh, and we have a brand new leader in the "worst thing" yet race: an investigation by Mark Madden, the Pittsburgh hockey journalist who broke the news on the Sandursky grand jury back in April. He appeared on NESN today to report that he's looking into allegations that The Second Mile (Sandusky's charity victim pool) may have been pimping out more at-risk and under-privileged children to its donors as well. Former Second Mile board members and high money donors are scrambling to remove their names from the website, but apparently have forgotten that archive.org, Google caching, and the Wayback Machine exist. Celebrities whom I have respected in the past but who should be left to the ravening wolves if it turns out they were paying to diddle children include Cal Ripken Jr., Mark Wahlberg, and Arnold Palmer.

... but I may have spoken soon, because: yes, it seems that an attorney claiming to represent several of the Sandursky victims has chastised the Board of Trustees for firing Paterno last night because they didn't consult the victims who "may not want to be associated with the downfall of Mr. Paterno." Because victim blaming is acceptable when the victims do it to themselves? Boy, did all seven of my therapists have it backwards!

For one last bit of raeg: FUCK YOU, AUTHOR OF FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. This Isn't a Football Scandal No, THIS is not a football program: it's a criminal organization that systematically harbored, abetted, and concealed the rape of dozens of children across multiple decades and it needs to be dismantled. Now.
