    This should be interesting. There are very few politically correct comedians left standing. Maybe I should add a poll in case folks object to names on this list . . . .

    The writer has a tough time distinguishing personal tweets and expressions from professional routines.

    You keep making a Federal case out of everything! :eek:
    Heck, I'm still mad about Senator Al Franken resigning due to some pimped up, over the top PC nonsense that pissed me off, and I'm an ardent feminist. Women's rights forever! Just retain a sense of humor, OK? Franken was a comedian, making his living as a comedian at the time, and a pretty darn good one. It was a joke. Pushed out of the Senate by members of his own party (and mine) for a freakin' joke. That is a joke. A lousy one.

    No, you are not.

    You are a rage-aholic, over-the-top baby-boomer who cannot reconcile why anyone growing up in today's "diversity" does not share the same opinions as you when you were their age in the pre-Civil Rights Law era of white-male dominated politics, business, academia, entertainment, etc.

    No, they rarely give awards to the actual best.

    Meh, they are mostly a joke these days but I imagine some people have to still care about them if they are still putting that nonsense on TV.

    Really don’t care about Kevin Hart and don’t care about who is hosting what.

    Then have @Cohete Rojo host. He’s never made a joke in his life, so we don’t have to worry about any offensive ones.

    You are kind of being a jerk. With all due respect.

    I mean really...the Academy asked him to apologize and he instead stepped down.

    The joke was a bit too dark, joking about beating children because they might be gay is a bit too dark and probably hits home to far too many people. Seems like a good thing to apologize for.

    Just say that yeah, it was a joke and in retrospect you've come to grow and learn, blah blah blah...and then he eventually apologized anyways when he could have done that first?

    It's always been a joke that no one wants to actually host the thing anyways so I wonder if he was just looking for an out.
