[continuing sarcasm] But is it really the athlete's fault that the charges make it to court or is that a failure of the system to protect the most vulnerable of our citizens, star athlete sexual predators?

Just after I moved out of Montreal, so 2003 or so, there was a serial rapist of elderly nuns. It was amazing how few people suggested they were dressed inappropriately. |

Yeah, where women dress extremely "modestly" (which is, of course, not only Muslim countries), it's often blamed on the victim just being alone around a man or something even more ridiculous. There are lots of people in the US who would do the same given the opportunity. Before the current vp came to power I didn't know there were so many friends of friends who might. It's just shocking to hear their defence of gender restrictions that went out of style 150 years ago.

That's the most toxic aspect of that advice. There are women who never looked at, much less, imbibed alcohol, who dressed so modestly that even the Amish would say, "Lighten up," AND never went out between 7 pm and 7 am and they were still raped. It's almost as though rape is born out of a sense of entitlement or hatred that has little to do with the victim as a person.

TMZ is now reporting he called his own PR's announcement 'false' and 'propaganda'. (Taking lessons from the president's team on how throw your own under the bus by contradicting and insulting them. Nice try Cosby. No one does it like the DTs.)

Well, it turned out that he'd been taking lessons on respect toward women from the current president, so why not?

In the roughest day yet for Bill Cosby’s defense team, a so-called toxicology expert acknowledged on the stand on Thursday that he had Googled data for his expert report, that his sole active license was a driver’s license and that one of the scholarly publications he listed on his curriculum vitae was in fact a letter to the editor.

I can imagine some of them habitually not wearing a watch just to avoid the temptation (or because, like many modern folks, they get their time from their cellphones now).

My guess is that the tactic (swiveling toward the clock) would be seen as obnoxious by most jurors, but you never know. And if it was distractingly obvious, I would expect the judge to tell them to cut it out. So maybe it was more subtle than it sounds in the article? |

Wait, wait, doesn't Wyatt realize that it's only things associated with Trump that get to be described as "the most (fill in latest thing he is bragging or bitching about) ever to have happened in the United States"?
