Etc.

At least we know Ayn Ryan hasn't sold his mother--yet.

I doubt his mother is destitute.

Another dumb shit teacher gets convicted for "consensual" sex with FIVE students.

What kills me is the "libertarian" "argument" that because these kids are around 18, they have "consented" to this. Teachers, the "argument" goes, shouldn't go to jail for predatory activities just because the kids are over 16.

Well, no. "Age of consent" has NOTHING to do with this. It's the power, stupid, and the abuse thereof. "Consent" is irrelevant when a teacher has control of their grades and where it is mandatory they attend school in order to graduate.

Some 23 states have made such inappropriate relationships subject to criminal charges when in the old days people didn't see a whole lot wrong with it even to the point where marriages resulted. That's before sexual harassment became a big issue with all of the liability involved if the relationships go sour and also some high-profile idiot teachers getting into trouble with students. There is something terribly demented with teachers who get involved with young students instead of socializing with people their own age.

Obituary? Until there is an official report, I removed the hoax obit on William Windom.

A good actor like that shouldn't have an obit before he is even pronounced dead.
