Warren should call up Cher and they can do a duet of Half-Breed

Laws based on religious rules are annoying. You know, laws against perjury, stealing, murder, etc. Next thing you know the president will be running around telling everyone to be their brother's keeper.

Romney was the 3rd GOP governor in a row of Massachusetts, created and passed the most radical, liberal heath care law ever (until then at least) and then Massachusetts elected a Democratic governor. I think the same thing will happen if Romney is elected. Romney will change little as a flip-flopping moderate, inspire no one, and the economy, deficits, and big government control will all be worse. We will be left with a radical, liberal heath care law and then an even more radical, liberal Democratic president.

Thank you Neil I hope your commentary will help parents think more about how their children are being educated. There was no Santa in my children's school because my wife did not spend time on that. But my wife does not promote National Socialism or National Government either.

I like Gingrich and I think he is the GOPs best hope for POTUS. Generally he has been spot-on in his rhetoric. But Gingrich should know that it is not the school's job to prepare children for adulthood. That is the parent's job. The school's job is to educate.

It would help if Charen would get her facts straight before she condemns everyone. She said that if Sandusky had been arrested in 2002 everything would have been. But Sandusky was investigated by the DA in 1998. The DA did not convict Sandusky but he did force him to admit to taking showers with boys. The board of the 2nd mile, where Sandusky met boys, were told all this. And what did they do? Nothing. On the other hand, Sandusky retired from Penn St. in 1999, despite being slated to be the next head coach. Obviously Paterno fired Sandusky. The 2nd mile continued to allow Sandusky to to "help". Perhaps he helped bring in donations. Jack Raykovitz who just resigned as 2nd mile CEO was paid $132k and his wife $100k in 2010.

About 10 years ago my wife and I were hiking in the grand canyon a couple of miles below the rim. A man who was hiking with another woman approached us and in broken English with a German accent asked for water. Fortunately my wife made me carry way too much water. When we gave his girlfriend/wife a bottle of water she drank it immediately. But I guess we should have explained that while we had water that it would not hydrate them. Good thing we know the truth now.

There is at least 1 set of people missing in Shapiro's article - the 2nd mile board, i.e. Sandusky's charity for boys. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/second_mile_executive_katherin.html gives the story of board member Katherine Genovese and her husband Jack Raykovitz, who resigned Sunday as Second Mile CEO. Last year Genovese and Raykovitz were paid more than $233,000 combined by the charity. Clearly money well spent.

The reporters should be fired. In 1998 Sandusky admitted publicly in court that he had taken a shower with and hugged a boy. But he was acquitted of any wrong doing. Why wasn't this made public knowledge so parents would know not to take their sons to his football camps? Because the reporters, especially sport reporters failed!

As far as moral abdication goes, I think Charen needs to look in the mirror. It looks like she is sending her son to either a public school or poorly selected private school. Morality must start with the family at home!
