Okay, so the big story of the day is that the Oscars have now decided to dump Kevin Hart,

or rather Kevin Hart decided to dump himself. So Kevin Hart is a comedian and an actor who you've seen

in such classic films as the one with Dwayne the Rock Johnson

and the other one with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. He is mainly a sidekick in a lot of these films.

He's a funny guy. I like Kevin Hart's work before. I liked his work. But now Kevin Hart,

who was picked to host the Oscars, which is the worst gig in Hollywood, because there has not yet been a host at the Oscars who has treated well. He was picked to host the Oscars, and he was very excited about it until the social media mob became a calling. So what did they do? They started filtering through all of his past tweets, because this is what we do now. We go through tweets that are eight years old to try and destroy people on the eve of their

greatest career triumphs.

And I guess we feel better about ourselves for doing this.

I guess that Americans feel great when we tear people down with tweets that are legitimately

a decade old because now we feel like we've made a step in favor of tolerance.

But have you really made a step in favor of tolerance by digging up an old anti-gay tweet by Kevin Hart from 2011 and then destroying his career?

Do you think Kevin Hart probably thinks the same things in 2011 that he thinks now? Do you really think

that he'd make that joke right now? And by the way, how would you feel if everybody were digging

up everything you ever said 10 years ago and using that as an opportunity to destroy your career?
