“UofL’s Infamous Ex-Employees”
Jake, on the comparison of Felner and Petrino: the latter is a scoundrel, reprobate, creep, n’er-do-well (you name it); the former is a sadistic, sociopathic, amoral, criminal disaster of a human being. As you say, they do have a singular commonality: UofL stuck by both of them.

Jake: Did you ever wonder how many texts and phone calls were transmitted between our own “P”….”o” and the “Cypher-woman.” Surely the “investigation” that was so diligently conducted concerning this particular ‘soap opera’ would have revealed SOMETHING.
Oh, I forgot our “P”….”o” is our hero and his investigators, Tommy Turtleneck and Ole’ Comb-over are our leaders.
My God: what a peat bog.

How dare you tarnish peat in such a manner!
In its natural forum, it’s great for all kinds of agricultural applications. In pelletized and liquidized form? It’s magic stuff for aquatic gardeners and small scale food producers.
Shame on you for trying to tarnish it! Ha

Glad you are defending peat, Jake. How about toxic waste as an alternative? Petrino, at least, doesn’t appear to have destroyed people’s professional lives at every institution he worked for as Felner did.

“Kicking the Pins Down the Alley”
Blowin’, you’re right about Felner being much worse than Petrino (though I’m certainly not defending the latter). Bobby Boy ruined dozens upon dozens of lives and is a confirmed felon. It’s a shame that UofL kept him on the pay roll (with a huge salary) while all those folks were bludgeoned to death. It is an indelible mark of how non-accountability and looking the other way when the dollar sign intrudes can win out in the halls of “academe.”
