Not to make light...

but actually that is the point. To shine a light on things.

While there is a far cry from the Penn State tragedy and the "agreement" that Herman Cain is dancing around, there does seem to be the thread of "market forces".

I should note, that like Cain, in some respects I blame the media. But we must not shoot the messenger. Nor necessarily "blame yourselves" for not having all the horrific D-tales. i.e. I don't think the severity of the details came to light immediately. Even though events have occurred over a broader spectrum of time [!]
Oops ? That's Right. That's the ticket[!]
[Who wants their MTV?]
[Back to a revisiting of the Star Chamber, Randi Rhodes is up there with her always insightful and often inciteful analysis of the Republicans as well as Obamanomics. Lawrence O'Donnell is the MSNBC/congressional version. Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz are two candidates I endorsed for their positions at MSNBC. And Norman Goldman is like the most legal and often infuriating, point of light.]

Penn State Disaster

First and foremost is the disaster for the victims. [Disturbing descriptions are contained in these links.] Too much may have been made about the effect on a football legend and educational institution but both have been indicted by the apparent pressure of fame and market forces. Not to lay all the blame on Coach Joe Paterno, he apparently was not legally indicted. Not to make light of any seriousness in this tragedy, but was it appropriate that they allowed Paterno to hang on for football win 409?
