    Yeah, I do like Gettysburg and Philadelphia is like an adopted home town for a central Jersey kid. From what I saw of Pittsburgh driving through it once, it seemed OK too. It's not all bad, just mostly bad.
    The Route 13/Route 1 corridor between Philly and Trenton is a giant steaming pile of shit that makes the worst parts of Mississippi or Alabama look good. Lots of muffler repair shops, body shops and wholesale carpet distributors with broken asphalt parking lots and buildings that haven't been remodeled since 1979. Most of my immediate family lives there now, and when I visit I just feel like putting a bullet in my head half the time.

    My daughter went to Penn State for 4 1/2 years. Those trips on I-80 were brutal. The drive home for winter break, in a snowstorm, was a special kind of hell.

    I always like to say, I lived the first 17 years of my life up North. Then I wised up.

    I'm sure someone here has brought up James Carville's description of Pennsylvania -- Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west and Alabama in the middle.

    Back on topic here, I'm certain the isolation played a part in lots of things being shoved under the rug. They knew if they could bully the Centre Daily Times into submission that there's no way in hell any of the Pittsburgh or Philadelphia papers were sending someone to fight through that nonsense to investigate. Friend of mine is a PSU grad and said you really didn't start hearing about Penn State players getting in trouble until the AP opened a bureau there.

    I hope Sandusky gets shanked.
    That's all.

    Have never read any of his stuff, but holy shit does this Ziegler article -- especially his use of quotation marks around certain words -- piss me off.

    Fitting;

    Because there are no cameras allowed in Pennsylvania court rooms, I have decided to use this occasion to release two different phone interviews I did with Sandusky from his maximum security prison back in 2013. I think you will find that these tapes, which have never been heard publicly, shed important light on the entire Penn State “scandal,” which I strongly believe has been grossly misunderstood by the pubic, due largely to massive malpractice in the news media.
