Legalize Marijuana in Kentucky

‘Get the comfy chair!’  |  Thorn

UofL basketball coach Rick Pitino will miss five games as a penalty for the hookers-for-players scandal. That is right: teenagers supplied with prostitutes. UofL says the penalty is unfair because Pitino did not know about the hookers. But we say he should have known. He is either incompetent or a liar.
