Basketball player to be charged in library masturbation
Couldn't you wait till you got home dood. That's what daydreaming is for.
Pen State police have filed charges against Nittany Lions basketball player Stanley Pringle for a public masturbation incident that occurred last Thursday at Pattee Library.
According to police, "the team's point guard, sat behind the victim in the stacks section of the library, attempted to start a conversation with the woman and began masturbating. Police have filed charges of public lewdness and disorderly conduct against him in connection to the incident, but Centre County District Judge Jonathan Grine, who is out of the office, was unable to sign the criminal complaint as of 2 p.m. today. Without the signed complaint, Pringle cannot be formally arrested."

Hillary Clinton is deferring to her "advisor" former President Clinton.
Barack Obama, who's known to shoot hoops to relieve stress (shown in the pic playing at a well known ballers court in Honolulu) is picking UNC to win the tourney (boo...GO DUKE!).
And John McCain is running his own pool with campaign swag for winnings. The first games in the NCAA college basketball championship tournament take place today, kicking off March Madness. But "madness" als... more -
