The possible ambit of abetment in the Jerry Sandusky case widens by the day. How so many people looked the other way for so long is incomprehensible.

Is PSU The Biggest Sports Scandal In Modern History?
There was a cave cricket in my basement last night. They're horrible, nasty creatures that have +8 jumping ability.
