Joepa Status - Still Dead

In the linked thread, a naive poster asks the all-knowing BWI board who the alumni are supposed to vote for in the latest round of Board of Trustees elections. Numerous posters chime in to explain which candidates have the blessing of Anthony Lubrano and PS4RS. Naturally, Lubrano is like Boss Tweed and PS4RS are Tammany Hall. Any candidate not getting an endorsement from Lubrano and/or PS4RS is hopeless.

Shoot, there are only 4 people (the 3 PS4RS folk, plus a younger guy, Dan Cocco) even running this year. In years past, even pre-2011, it would invariably be a few dozen. I've always speculated that the Paterno family is a key financial supporter of PS4RS. PS4RS has spent 6-digit amounts of $$$ advertising in previous elections. That money is coming from somewhere.

Adam Taliaferro came out the other day and endorsed Cocco. That prompted Lubrano to tell Adam that he was "disappointed" in him. How dare Adam not support who the Kingmaker supports!!!



If nothing else, it is a pretty good soap opera.

409, outstanding posts in the Adam Taliaferro thread. That thread is a near '27 Yankees of Cultist heavy hitters. I love Lubrano commenting that there is no need for him to address Taliaferro's tweets because the posters on BWI have already expressed his opinion. LOL.

I think there are fewer candidates for the BoT election because it is obvious that the voters will simply rubber stamp whoever the Paterno family/PS4RS/Lubrano tells them to vote for.

Yeah, I damn near spit out my orange juice this AM reading that. Lubrano is so dumb he doesn't realize exactly what he said there!!! I'll have to quote his post and spell it out more explicitly.

Yep. PS4RS are king-makers. There was a bizarre wildfire that flared up for a week last September, when alumni-BOT member McCombie thought we should honor an ex-military guy (who has PSU ties) at the PSU/Army football game. Some PSU folk are angry that PS4RS endorsed him, yet McCombie does things on his own as well. PS4RS endorsement not equaling "mindless zombie who does everything he is told" somehow does not compute.

Wasn't Taliaferro already borderline persona non grata since he inexplicably focused on real issues facing the University rather than the gospel of Paterno?

He wasn't overly grateful for everything the Joesus had done for him, you know, after he was paralyzed and rehabilitated himself to the point where he could walk again, he failed to pay proper respect to Joesus so the cult turned on him. Whether they've recently welcomed him back into the inner circle or not, I have no idea.

Of course, I thought they'd all but written Lubrano off as a whackjob too, so what do I know?

 

[Zurp]

after he was paralyzed and rehabilitated himself to the point where he could walk again,

There's your misunderstanding. See, he DIDN'T rehab himself. That's crazy. Only Joesus, himself, could heal someone in that situation. If I'm paralyzed from the whatever down, and Joesus used his divinity to enable me to walk again, you're dog-darned right I'm going to praise him every day of the week, except for when it ruins my weekends.

Taliaferro had more than a few "abstentions" on votes --- primarily votes as regards the Freeh Report and such, votes that only came up because Lubrano and Al Lord pushed the issue.

Abstaining is his right, but still: just vote. One way or another. I do wish Adam stood up for himself more in the 2012-2015 era when he was a Trustee; it does appear he's more willing to get into it with Lubrano now, which I can support.

Hmm, interesting. Yeah, I gotta say, the guy seems like a coward to me. Certainly not the man Joesus taught him to be........I mean, there's no way he could've had a good reason for abstaining, right? There's no way he could've put himself in a position where he could be accused of a conflict of interest or abuse of power or anything like that had he voted one way or the other......

Exactly right. Joesus laid his holy hand upon Adam's forehead and commanded him to walk. Adam walked, and Joesus saw that it was good.

One of the votes he abstained on was in August 2014, "should Penn State continue to abide by the consent decree." Another vote was in October 2014, "should Penn State re-examine the Freeh Report." There's no "conflict of interest." Yes, he should take a stand on those issues. That's what he signed up for in becoming a trustee.

I don't think Taliaferro is a bad guy, but his abstentions were weak. Sort of stuff you'd expect from a Washington DC Senator: "well, since the vote is already 53-44, my vote doesn't matter anyway, and voting yes could hurt me with constituency X back home. I'll just abstain."

Barf.

There are literally multiple people on that board who typed they wished Taliaferro had been further injured at Ohio Stadium. Fenchak especially is a helmet-wearing retard, but there are others that consigned it. A few racial epithets thrown in as well.

NY Times and Exeter boarding school in Mass seem to need educated on Fax and Evidents

article

A number of schools have developed anonymous tip lines and set aside confidential areas where students can air their concerns.

“Now, we have schools sending out pre-emptive letters, even without any allegations, saying, ‘If you are ever harmed or abused, we’re here for you,’” Mr. Upham said.

He and others attributed the changes in part to liability concerns stemming from the explosive Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal at Penn State in 2011. Mr. Sandusky, a coach who was convicted of abusing 10 boys over 15 years, has cost the university more than $92 million in settlement costs.

More recently, the Oscar-winning movie “Spotlight,” an account of The Boston Globe’s exposé of sexual abuse of children by Roman Catholic priests and the subsequent cover-up, may be spurring a new round of reporting.

“ ‘Spotlight’ has given survivors the permission to come forward now because they see people siding with them and they see institutions being held accountable,” said Robert M. Hoatson, a former Catholic priest based in Livingston, N.J., and co-founder of Road to Recovery, an organization for survivors of sexual abuse.

The Sandusky revelations appear to have been a motivating factor behind the report of sexual abuse at Exeter. According to police documentsobtained by The Associated Press through a records request, an Exeter teacher cited the Sandusky case when she reported in 2011 that Rick Schubart, a popular history teacher, had been sexually involved with a student in the 1970s.

Sandusky and Catholic Priests. Penn State and the Church

Forever linked in the public consciousness because of the cowardly BOT traitors.

No link to this because the EVIDENTS disappeared off of BWI, but the Cult was giddy in several different threads at finally learning the identity of long-term Cult antagonist CruisingRoute66. The Cult listed the guy's name, his LinkedIn account, pictures of his house and were trying to mobilize support to flood people who do business with CR66 with messages about why they should boycott him. I saw a post from BoT member Anthony Lubrano in which Lubrano claims to have contacted CR66 to express a hope that he will at least still post on BWI.

I have just seen passing mentions to the identity of CR66 in which various Cult members were celebrating like they had just won the national championship and other Cultists were asking stark questions about whether or not it was "over the line" to post a picture of CR66's home. The Cult was absolutely pissing themselves at learning the identity of CR66. I can only imagine how giddy they would have been had Tug Speedwell's identity fallen into their hands.
