  Lebanon Daily News: A Northern Lebanon school board member resigned from the board Tuesday in protest of a recent sex toy scandal involving three principals in the school district. (Click here for the full article.) Ah… Lebanon County never disappoints. The broad strokes of this story are as follows: three principals at Northern Lebanon High School were caught passing around a sex toy as a joke. Is this a good look for three people that are supposed to be overseeing the molding of young minds? Nope. Is this hilarious? Abso-goddamn-lutely. Go back to your high school days for a second. If you’re a method actor, maybe rub an empty pizza box on your face to get that acne firing on all cylinders again. Now, think back to your high school principals, who at this point in your life are the physical embodiment of “The Man” and the antithesis of everything your rebellious teenage mind stands for. Now imagine them flinging dildos at each other as a goof. No matte

A monster who stalked and viciously killed women in London's Whitechapel district taking six victims in the late 1880s then managed to elude capture. It's a case that will likely remain unsolved entirely, but I think I may have cracked another important aspect of the case: why did he*  stop killing. *(I say he, but there are some pretty compelling arguments into the crimes having been committed by a woman posing as a nurse, The key to that argument is she could have posed as a mid-wife which would have allowed her to walk around Victorian England in bloody clothes without raising suspicion.) Jack The Ripper wrote a series of letters to Scotland Yard in which he taunted authorities. I was reading a book that featured one of the letters — the famous "From Hell" letter, the killer's final letter — when something hit me. Here, read it for yourself: From hell. Mr Lusk, Sor I send you half the Kidn

Ok, maybe I'm a part of the problem, but I can't get enough of the stories coming out of Northern Lebanon High School. (You can check out my last blog about all the shenanigans here .) You've got principals chucking sex-toys hither and thither as a goof (which if anyone has access to the security camera footage of this, I'd love to see it because I want to put the Benny Hill music over it because it makes everything even funnier) and now kids are being instructed to smile in what almost seems like a scene out of a cult documentary or even 1984.  Here's what's happening, courtesy of the fine folks at The Lebanon Daily News : Northern Lebanon School District students are required to smile while walking the hallways between classes, while bullying incidents are being ignored by administrators, according to some parents and teachers. Students who don’t have a smile on their face while in the hallways between classes are told to either smile or go see a
