GOOD MORNING, SMIRK! YOU GOT THE JOE PATERO STORY TOTALLY WRONG. HE WAS FIRED FOR NOT BEING DILLIGENT ENOUGH ON REPORTING THE CHILD ABUSE ALLEGATIONS, NOT FOR ACTUALLY ABUSING ANYONE. THEY ALSO FIRED THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE. AND ARRESTED TWO MORE PEOPLE FOR PERJURY. ESSENTIALLY EVERYONE IS GOING DOWN IN FLAMES. I'LL BE SURPRISED IF THE NCAA DOESN'T SUSPEND THEIR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT OR SOMETHING SIMILAR.
See, there's a big difference between stating an opinion -i.e. "Andy from Beaverton never has anything worthwhile to say,"- and accusing a public figure of spousal abuse. Note this, as sometimes it can have legal consequences.
I want Andy to come! However, he probably has a previous engagement to get Applebees takeout, peruse the blogs of other cities he doesn't live in, and then cry/stroke himself to sleep again.
I'm half convinced Andy is some kind of right-wing trolling bot. There's probably just one central server web crawling alt weeklies nationwide and posting inflammatory comments.
Sorry! I'm just reading through these comments now. You're right - I should change the text on the Penn State story. Since the original joke relied on a strike through, I'm just going to erase what's there and rewrite it, rather than striking through the whole thing. Thanks for noting the error.
Back on that comment thread from yesterday, Andy is now telling me that I need to do some "on the record reading," and that I will certainly find that what Andy has been saying is true. I've never even heard any of these rumors, so I don't know. I imagine if I Google "Randy Leonard drunk wife beater," I'll get a bunch of right-wing bullshit engines.
IS THAT A BANANA OR A ONE-EARED PIKACHU?
