Got this email today from a distraught reader who didn't like my criticism of that other Joe (as in the one at Penn State):
"It is ludicrous for someone who spent decades worshipping in a cult that promoted child rape to disparage Joe Paterno."

My reply:
"It’s anything but ludicrous.
"Paterno has lost much of his support from the Penn State’s Board of Trustees, and there are increasing calls on campus for him to leave, having disgraced the university. Paterno knew about Sandusky’s reported behavior way back in 2002 and did nothing—nothing—to contact police.
"Besides, you are just anti-Mormon (although faithful Mormons hate me for leaving their ranks and blowing the whistle on them).
"You are simply attempting to divert attention away from your chest-pounding love of Joe Paterno
"Joe’s toast (and, no, this time I’m not talking about the Mormon Joe Smith). I’m talking about your Joe:
