So many people have complained about Dr. Cosby’s remarks, but he’s not saying anything different now than he was saying way back when. He just took of the “kid gloves”.

Sumodo, as a fellow survivor of the Age of Dinosaurs in New England, I remember those questions, too.

TwinkleToes, @ Wiki…you can’t really depend on it getting the facts right.

I’ve never thought one way or the other about Posh and Becks, but the Dlisted story says Becks wants to name the pigs Pinky and Perky – those were the two pigs on the 1970s BBC sitcom “Good Neighbors” which was one of my favorites growing up. Now I think Becks is adorable.

Regardless of this man’s matriculated or non-matriculated degrees, he’s more than qualified to speak on the subject(s) that he does.

Am I the only woman in the world who has never found Colin Firth even remotely attractive? I’m young, but old enough to remember the worldwide swooning that was the “Pride & Prejudice” miniseries (Hell, I think my mom bought it on VHS) but he’s never done jack for me.

Back in the prehistoric era when I was a young person in New England, there was controversy over his Ed.d from the University of Massachusetts, and how he could have put in all that time. He was living in the Berkshires with his family, and with his busy work schedule, people were curious, even then. Cosby’s Ed.d. is a questionable degree.

Its a degree that includes both-it takes less time but is more intense. There are also even programs that are Bachelor+Masters+Doctorate. Just FYI.

Oh My: I don’t know Mr. Cosby’s personal history but you do not necessarily need a bachelor’s to get a MA or PhD. I know a young lady who got her master’s without earning a bachelor’s degree. Yes, it is very rare but it can happen.

I saw an interview with Rita Moreno and she said Bill used his work on Electric Company to earn credits for school. For which degree I don’t know.

What Bill says doesn’t bother me at all. It reminds me of the things that most older black people say when they complain about what we’ve become. You usually learn to do two things. Brush it off and keep moving because you know they’re right but don’t want to argue. Or you act one what they’re saying because..you know they’re right. I’ve never heard Bill say anything that was wrong. Sometimes it’s hard to take the pill which is why some seem to get bent out of shape by his comments.
