Welcome to the First Reformed Interdenominational Methobyterian Bapti-Catholic Church of Truth That Sets You Free. The Most Honorary Rev. Bill Cosby is in the pulpit with a message for Easter.

"We're letting Jesus drag that cross and we're standing there saying 'Isn't it terrible? Somebody oughtta do something.' We're standing on the sidelines. All we want to know is, 'You got time to fix my elbow?' "

He was just warming up.

"I can feel your guilt," he said. "I can feel your shame. But most of all, I can feel how sedated you seem to be."

The standup comedian who used to ask "Why is there air?" now asks much tougher questions and has answers that some people don't want to hear. "Dr. Huxtable" was writing prescriptions at Xavier's Cintas Center on Thursday, and his tough medicine was greeted with waves of applause from an audience of 1,200, 90 percent black.

I expected him to say something outrageous to rile up the Political Correctness Police who misplaced their sense of humor in the 1960s and can't spot the honest truth in a police lineup of bald-faced lies.

Good for Cosby. He, too, has some mush in his skull, as he subscribes to the idea that the CIA unleashed crack in inner-city LA to get rid of black people. But he's doing something very right today.

I can certainly see why people would accuse the CIA of such things.

:question: Because they have chips on their shoulders & too much time on their hands?

[Trau]

No, because of programs like MKULTRA. And there was also Tuskegee.

[DoctorDoom]

No, because of programs like MKULTRA.Break out the headgear, quickly.

[Trau]

Are you suggesting MKULTRA never happened?

Bill is right on target with this speech. I commend him for standing in front of an audience 90% black and speaking the truth, which is sometimes hard to hear. He has shown that he is not just one of the LA elites with his head up his #ss!

I just hope that more people like Bill and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson start making progress with ideas in this country. It is really overdue!
