Much to do today so you get the soup can…but I'll be back later with a Golden Oldie or something. (Hey, if you're browsing older messages in the Archives on this site, do me a small favor. If you come across one where there's a big hole because an illustration is missing, drop me a note and let me know. I keep finding those and fixing them.)
The most interesting thing to me about the second Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore was how totally the host has given up on Bill Cosby. (So has Jay Leno.) I think that's becoming the default position. Just as all mentions of O.J. Simpson in the media kinda presume we all think he killed those two people, all mentions of Bill Cosby will assume we all agree that most if not all of his accusers are speaking the truth.
Wilmore's stance is significant because it's a major black comedian willing to say it…and a guy who has an important forum. Leno's obviously matters less but it would matter a lot if he still had that nightly monologue in front of all of America.
I have to run to an appointment. More posting later tonight or maybe tomorrow morn.
