Finger pointing 

It is an old adage that when I point my finger at you there are three fingers pointing back at me.

Many times, the scolds are hiding something about themselves.

Today, a judge had enough of Bill Cosby's fulminations and took him to the woodshed.

Bill Cosby and his fellow scolds just took a legal beating

His case, however, is not about Defendant's status as a public person by virtue of his exercise of his trade as a televised or comedic personality. Rather Defendant has donned the mantle of public moralist and mounted the proverbial print or electronic soap box to volunteer his views on, among other things, childrearing, family life, education and crime. To the extent that Defendant has freely entered the public square ... he has voluntarily narrowed the zone of privacy that he's entitled to claim.
Cosby is one of those guys I used to like who turned bad. Or, I got taken in.

The thing is that actors and comedians should know they need to watch themselves when they get into territory sensitive to other people.

Cosby used being black as a cover for all his shenanigans. As a serial rapist and assault perpetrator (drugging women) he is probably held to greater account.

But arrogance knows no limit. At least his type doesn't.

It is a shame. In his prime, the last thing he probably needed was extra help to get laid. Of course, if your partner is comatose there may be another thrill involved. A kink.
