- The press conference announcing the firing of Joe Paterno was good stuff last night. (CNN was the only station I found that was covering it with video.) That guy at the mic, Vice Chairman of Trustees John P. Surma, did a fantastic job in a hostile environment. He is also the CEO of United States Steel. Very appropriate.
- But the female CNN anchor left a little bit to be desired -- especially when she asked a correspondent if he knew when Penn State's next college football game was.
- Ashton Kutcher tweeted that Paterno's firing was an insult and done with no class. That is, until he apologized profusely after admitting he has been living in a cave and hadn't heard about the scandal.
- A newspaper columnist in Pennsylvania six months ago predicted all of this in a column entitled "Sandusky a State secret".

- If you've ever seen Requiem For A Dream, you know it may be the best anti-drug movie ever made. Now the director has made a couple of PSA's for the the anti-meth campaign. Oh, my.
- (For you extreme legal types who have argued about the Castle Doctrine, Texas highest criminal court handed down an opinion yesterday regarding the "new" law and how a jury should be so instructed. Knock yourselves out.)
- The Supreme Court considered this week whether the government can put a GPS tracking device on your car without a warrant. Justice Stephen Breyer asked/told the government's attorney, "“If you win this case, then there is nothing to prevent the police or the government from monitoring 24 hours a day the public movement of every citizen of the United States . . . . So if you win, you suddenly produce what sounds like 1984 from their brief.” Preach on, brother.
- Fox 4's Tim Ryan sucked on Chip Waggoner's lollipop this morning. Video. Oh, yes. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
- The Boyd School Board is considering some kind of football rock like the Clemson players touch as they take the field with a slogan on it similar to Notre Dame's. You know, not a bad idea.
- Former Decatur volleyball player Sara Oxford received an honor at Abilene Christian.
- See Rick Perry's official response to his gaffe last night. It doesn't help. In this day and time, you just want to get through a debate without something bad happening. If you don't, that's all the public will remember. #oops
- Mrs. LL bought some weird head warmer which looks like a cross between something you'd see in Fargo and a bear's head.
