I think it is a natural emotion, to get real pissed about the UpYours State bozos being placed on the Board.
But, to me, this was a very good day, good meeting, and - really - a good couple weeks.
1st: The UpYours State bozos (and the other sycophants):
I am probably less irate than some - not because I despise these a-holes any less - but because what happened today REALLY happened back in the fall of 2014.
When the Scoundrels passed their "A+ Proposal", we all knew who was going to fill those additional sycophant seats (not the names, but what kind of people they would be). So I was REALLY pissed back then.....but today it was just completing the bookkeeping aspects.
2nd: It has been obvious for some time, that rescuing Penn State from the Cabal of Scoundrels was going to take legislative action. In that regard, every time the OG gives a big "FU" to all of us Penn Staters (like they did with the Salvino and UpYours State appointments), it actually helps our cause (it will help the cause even more if all of the folks who are pissed off will channel that passion into soliciting their Senators/Reps to support Board reform)
On the topic of Board reform, I think there is significant progress being made. Several of us had some discussions at the BOT meeting today. We don't all see eye-to-eye on all of the issues - and that is good. But the overall goals are the same - we want our University freed from the Pirates. I believe if we keep the overall goal in mind, and continue to work at it, we are getting closer and closer to achieving at least part of that mission.....and I believe that the coming weeks are going to be even brighter.
3rd: The role of the Elected Trustees is getting stronger and stronger. In recent weeks we have seen strong stands taken against the Scoundrels.......Freeh File requests, Demands for Equal Treatment, The determination to exhaust all means available - including "taking them to court" when necessary. These are all good signs.....very good signs.
4th: The Scoundrels are flat out scared....and desperate. Their actions today, both during the meetings and after, show us just how desperate they have become.
5th: Personally (and I desperately DO NOT want this to turn into a political statement) I have felt that Wolf was at least sympathetic. He certainly was - from a PSU BOT issue perspective - 100,000,0000 times better than Corbett. We got a couple glimpses of that today: 1- with the actions of the Cabinet members in "abstaining" and 2 - With the move by Kathleen Casey (which showed that she obviously knew Wolf was not about to retain her), and the fact that Rucci should be packing his bags soon. Good things to come, I believe, wrt the Governor's impact.
6th: The Paterno Suit - while not directly related to the BOT issue - passed a significant hurdle today. For those folks who truly desire truth and illumination, every step supporting discovery is a god thing.
And, it was just nice to see both The Bloviator and the Ex-Con losing their marbles this week. You know THEY are feeling the heat.....AND....Couldn't happen to a nicer pair of scoundrels.
So, all-in-all, I think we are entering one of the brightest Springs in a long, long time.
Hang in there!!!!
Any questions.....feel free to ask
