Bill Cosby heads to DC for Mark Twain humor prize


WASHINGTON (AP): Bill Cosby still thinks America is funny - like the name-calling over health care and the way we drink so much water from plastic bottles that could be toxic - even though he says the nation has some serious problems it needs to tackle.

The 72-year-old who has long drawn laughs for his wisecracks and deadpan observations will receive the nation's foremost humor prize Monday at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Sinbad and other top entertainers will line up to honor him with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
