Not N.O.W., Not Ever
Hyperlink! I'm not defending Paterno's comments, which were insensitve but which have also been misconstrued, I just want to ask once again, Where in Bog's name was N.O.W. when the President of the United States was accused of having a sexual affair with a twenty-one-year-old employee? If the fiftysomething CEO of a large corporation pressured an intern the same age as his daughter into an affair, don't you think N.O.W. would have cried "sexual harrassment" from every mountain top in the country? But N.O.W. has plenty of vigor to go after Joe Paterno, a man who is five minutes older than the universe itself? That's nice.

And while it may seem quaint to some, I think it important to mention that A.J. Nicholson hasn't actually been convicted of having committed any crime. Isn't a man supposed to be presumed innocent until he is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law? I personally believe that all rapists should be subject to capital punishment, but that is neither here nor there until Nicholson has been proven to have actually broken the law.
