Ashton Kutcher put his foot in his mouth on Twitter and has made apologies and is obviously remorseful. So, since I don’t tweet, I thought I’d just send this out there:

It’s okay Ashton, I forgive you.  
You’ve admitted your error. You’re doing the right thing, so give yourself a break.

He apparently thinks that Paterno should not have been fired, an opinion that a lot of people have (though I won’t risk hijacking by explaining the reasoning here. There are already other threads for that.)

Thanks for providing links. You’re right, I need to teach myself how to add those. I don’t use a mouse and I’m being lazy about it.

But I think Ashton has changed his mind about the Paterno firing and seems to be beating himself up pretty badly for his knee jerk initial reaction.

I hope I haven’t misunderstood him.
