Rising Hegemon
First this morning we learn that Joe Paterno sold his property interest in his house to his wife for $1 this Summer. Seeing as they shared a common interest and whoever died first would get the other's share and Paterno will have medical benefits and a pension of $500,000 a year there is no logical reason I can think of to do this except to avoid any potential judgment liability he would have (the linked article discusses caveats). Maybe I'm wrong, but given his pension and benefits medical costs for him or her would not be a problem.
Second, we find out that contrary to her claim of barely having any connection to Jerry Sandusky or his foundation the Judge who let Sandusky walk for essentially no bail had Sandusky's foundation raise money for her election.
Nice political incest to go with the other deviancy involved.

It's interesting the number of people in the comments who don't see this as a problem because its a small town and everybody knows everybody so we should ignore it. I guess they're missing the point which not that people should have or don't have connections but they should disclose them or recuse themselves when there is a potential conflict not pretend like it's just business as usual.
But I that's business as usual in today's America.
political incest. what quid pro quo?
