Again, employers can fire employees for conduct that isn't criminal.

He is no doubt privy to things we are not.


Franco Harris continues his support for Joe Paterno

I like Franco's style. He is one great Pittsburgher. Sure he WAS a Steeler, but he really has been a great asset to our city. He is also a cyclist and I have ridden with him. He makes a great lasagna, actually it is one of the best I have ever had. Sorry, I am a foodie!

Time for another single malt, just to deal with... well the world's incompetence.

I think the mayor needs to focus on more important matters. I understand his concerns, but there are better ways of going about this than publicly blasting an honorable member of our community. I'm not saying Franco is right, but I found the mayor's response to be over the top.

Typical politician's response. All the uneducated will say, look mayor is protecting kids because we are all running on emotion and not logic, but the educated people will say, what an idiot politician for jumping on the bandwagon of popularity, there is a justice system in place first!

Whatever! He is an idiot and I am going to promote someone else when we can get rid of that scumbag as someone else put it.

Curtis get your head out of the sand, it happened!.....Sandusky even admitted it to Bob Costas, which I thought was the dumbest thing of the century.

I like to think of it as a privilege of someone that cares enough to provide housing to less fortunate folks. My charity is beyond belief.
