But the economic indexes are up. Wages are up, the Dow is up, the S&P is up.
Employment is up, unemployment down. I don't care if he says the Bronx is a shithole. Kind of matches my opinion, anyway.

But back to "short bus'.

I am not a mean person. I don't like to hurt anybody's feeling. I would never say something like that to a Downs kid. I know Tanq would not either.

But Tanq was not talking to kids - he was talking to a Rice grad. I thought a Rice grad would be smart enough to understand that comment.

I need a good market to stay afloat until I can sell some land. Not going to get that from the Dems. They will bankrupt me, then compassionately send me a small check. Yay. They are more concerned with controlling the words in my mouth.

Better a bad talker who does good things than a good talker who does bad things.

OO, no need to defend my 'retard' comment. It was wrong. Nor any need to defend 'short bus'.

I kind of laugh that these two, especially the lad, who is seemingly typically bouncy house to excrutiating lengths to be *ahem* precise *cough*, is so hell bent to tag the correctness of the offending 'kids'. Interesting change of face. Perhaps even 'special'.

Let the lad pull his hair out over the Orange man actually saying 'love it or leave it', and let him pull his hair out and chop, edit, and alter a comment to torture it into what he perceives to be 'racist'. I dont expect any more from the lad, to be honest.

But no need to defend the 'retard' comment. Mea culpa. The lad's moral preening to me in the rep ding was pretty funny ----- 'how *dare* you ever ever ever ever ever say or think that, even *if* you rethink it and pull it down.' Again, par for the course from my perspective.

So given that I doubt there will ever be a rehabilitation from that fine form moral posturing lesson seen today. Lolz.

I would actually prefer the lad to explain how the fab four's comments and slurs on the United States are *explicitly* the same as using the word term 'again' (literally 'explicitly the same' in the words he used) --- that is aside from the donk statement that both are 'criticisms'. Again, for such a donk on precision, this still seems like an idiotic statement when actually examined.

So let these two slam all they want on the 'retard' and the other comment. No need to feed the moral preeners here. They will either accept the mea culpa or not. Out of your hands, and out of mine, tbh. Lolz.
