Actually, he revealed it two years ago as these clips are from a film he did which has not been released. In Spring Awakening he only showed his butt, in Hair he was one of the few cast members who did not get nude. He returns to Glee for its 300th episode.

Jonathan Groff, openly gay star of Broadway's Spring Awakening and many off-Broadway shows, revealed today that he does, in fact, have a penis. To prove it, he is displaying it all over the internet:

Another mystery in the case" The prosecutor who decided to not pursue sex abuse charges against former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky more than a decade ago, despite an alleged confession, is at the center of a missing persons mystery that has enraptured middle Pennsylvania for years. Ray Gricar served as the district attorney for Pennsylvania's Centre County in 1998 when Sandusky was accused of sexually abusing several boys. After an extensive investigation, which included testimony by two law enforcement officers that they had overheard Sandusky admitting to showering with multiple young boys, Gricar decided no criminal charges would be filed, according to recent court documents. Sandusky retired the next year. Then, in April 2005, Gricar disappeared. More: D.A. Disappears

Oh, I plan to read paper books until they stop printing them. Just trying to keep all options open here.

Wow. I liked the first one- what a butt!- but the second one was good too, and just a tad cuter. Both are great dancers. Thanks, Mr. Tomcal, Sir!

Geez, this place is dead tonight. Is everyone still contemplating the success possibility of the Cain campaign?

Just don't want to be my congressman, do you?

Whining? Oh gosh, I sure hope it comes across as the expression of a strong desire not to miss a drop of the juicy details. And speaking of juicy, I too like the chicken at Galito. Since we usually go in their wintertime, the speedo boys are not there. But I can see how it would be a great spot to watch from. Thanks for spacing, but don't do it if it drives you crazy. I will manage!

No, I know you like to obfuscate, but being a good congressman is not the same as being able to take both sides of an argument. It is being able to see the merit in the opposing side. Are you saying you can't do that, cuz you just did with your tuna comment.

With the new NOOK going against the Kindle Fire, it seems to me that the Ipad2 is still best. Yes, it is more expensive, but it does more things. What bothers me about the Kindle is that you are tied into Amazon for its products. Reviews today say the NOOK is not much better. Some e-books cost as much as $14.99, almost what the hardcover is available for online. But, what about a cheaper tablet? I saw the Iconia Tab A 100 advertised for $329. It is Android based, with a 7" screen. Shows movies, photos, is a book reader, a planner and can connect to social networks. Seems to me that is what the Ipad2 does, but this is cheaper. Ideally the Ipad2 is probably better, but what if this one does what you want? What are the drawbacks? Thanks for the advice. I don't know that much about tablets.

I saw another version of that last shot, and this one had his nice butt more evident. I'd say 10-1 he is gay.

A bathroom whack job caused a problem in the locker room after he took his desires to another person. Reminds me of an incident many years ago at the Y in San Francisco. Apparently a guy in the steam room took a fancy to my younger self and followed me to my locker. There he proceeded to masturbate rapidly, and he appeared to be an animal in heat. I didn't know what to do, help him finish or ignore him. It was against the rules and could have gotten me kicked out if I indulged him. So, I just put my clothes on as I naturally would, and he left limply. Gym Whacker Arrested (photos)

When you come down in the middle like that, I think, geez, it's a politics forum, put something fiery out there. On the other hand, I wish people in Congress could see both sides of the issues. So I vote for you as my congressman.

Breaking News: Yes, right here! The NY Times just disclosed that Penn State is negotiating the resignation of football coach Joe Paterno in light of the failure to notify police of a child molestation. Coach On The Way Out

Since we are talking food, and since Charlie is participating, perhaps I can plug my new thread in the Politics section on tuna and Greenpeace. Take a look!

The owners of the three major tuna canneries are unhappy with Greenpeace for taking them on. We have Mr. Lischeski at Bumble Bee, Mr. Chan at Chicken of the Sea, and Mr. Cho at Starkist. Yes, I realize that 2/3ds of tuna management is Asian. After all, they will soon control the world's food supply. But as of now they are unhappy with Greenpeace for a video it created and is promulgating. The video shows one of their "brand icons" being stabbed in the eye. The tuna trio call it "baffling" as , they say, it does not lead anyone to come away "more knowledgeable about tuna and sustainable fishing." The opinion piece can be found on the op-ed page of today's Wall Street Journal. It's not exactly "op" to the Journal's editorial slant though. But the authors claim that tuna is one of the cheapest sources of Omega-3 oils, and that Greenpeace is trying to "sabotage a serious sustainability partnership between dedicated conservationists and the fishing community." That's what mass fishing is now- the "fishing community." Greenpeace also had the nerve to dress in "funny" Halloween costumes that helped "rake in the donations." So why would people donate to Greenpeace when we know how valuable Omega- 3 oils are to human health? I went to the Greenpeace site, where I first encountered an endangered polar bear who needed my money to stay alive. After telling him to get lost, I searched for the tuna action. Hopefully, Greenpeace won't mind my posting this blurb directly from their site. After all, they want to get the message out. What you find out here is what isn't mentioned in that op-ed piece in the Journal. The Tuna Trio has threatened to sue Greenpeace! Read on, and watch that harmful video (it's really a cute little cartoon) if you can stomach a tuna icon taking it in the eye! From Greenpeace.org: All three of America’s leading tuna brands have made legal threats against Greenpeace in an effort to hide the truth behind the destructive methods of fishing used to bring tuna to the table. Law firms representing Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea and Starkist have issued cease and desist letters, claiming defamation and trademark infringement, to censor a new two-minute animation that deals with the enormous problem of bycatch, or unintentional catch, created by the fishing methods used by the biggest US tuna companies. Greenpeace is declining to remove the video. “We believe the American public has a right to know how their tuna is caught, and of the swathe of dead marine creatures, from turtles and sharks to marlin, seabirds, and future breeding stock that lie behind so many of their favorite tuna products,” said Senior Campaigner Casson Trenor. “In their clumsy and litigious attempt to hide their dirty little secret, the industry has illustrated the lengths to which they will go to keep their methods in the shadows. “A simpler and more sustainable approach would be to stop using destructive fishing methods and switch to sustainable fishing, such as pole and line or FAD free fishing. “Every major tuna brand in the United Kingdom has made a commitment to do just that. The real scandal here is that Bumble Bee and Starkist would rather threaten an environmental organization with attorneys letters than consider the same approach,” Mr Trenor said. The video can be viewed here: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/tuna_secret/ More information about tuna fishing is available here: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/campaigns/oceans/seafood/tuna/

The WSJ reports on another threat- uncollected trash. The floods are bringing garbage from the provinces to Bangkok, which is having trouble picking up its own. Disease is becoming a problem: BANGKOK—Thai authorities are boosting efforts to collect drain-clogging garbage in Bangkok as Thailand's slow-rolling floodwaters send debris from upstream into the capital, threatening two more massive industrial parks Monday after swamping seven others. Flooded roads are preventing garbage collectors getting to many areas—raising fears over the risk of disease and over the blockage of drains, which is impeding the flow of water into the sea. Bangkok produces about 8,700 tons of rubbish a day—roughly a quarter of Thailand's total. Added to that figure is the additional trash flowing into the city from northern provinces.

Four Aces, this comment did not leave me warm: "Here in Texas, as one can imagine, sentences for nearly all crime seems excessive at times. But I do not mind that. I rather error on the side of caution by protecting citizens who follow the laws than to give way to social pressure when sentencing a criminal." The law requires that we err on the side of the one who has the presumption of innocence, not the state. You prefer innocent people to suffer just to avoid an error?

If the kids involved get millions, who pays? I read that the football program alone brings Penn State $70 million a year, so they do have the deep pockets. College football, bringing in $70 million. Wow.

Well, this post really had nothing to do with the subject at hand, so I deleted it. Read the one above it!

Oh, gosh, it wasn't Cinderella and the Seven Dwarfs was it? But she was a golddigger!

The scandal is exploding as calls for the resignation of the president of Penn State mount, and Joe Paterno, still coaching at the age of 84, is getting his share of criticism. He says he "did what he should" by notifying a superior. But, as one pundit points out, if had asked for a change of paint color and it didn't happen, he wouldn't have stood by as quietly as he did when nothing happened after he reported a sex offense on a child.

Well, Cinderella was busted for child sex charges and orgies with dwarfs. (dwarves?)

Thanks, Tom, and thanks for the eye friendly post. We enjoy your pix as well as the stories.
