A: The only thing offensive about it is that people could actually get away with interpreting that as 'the economy is definitely a priority over those dead japs.'
B: If he apologized, it was 100% due to public pressure stirred up by illiterate rage-quitters. The only thing that qualifies his phrasing as a 'poor choice of words' (which is, really, the worst you could say about it) is that it failed to completely guard him from the heckling of the destitute internet trolls and political hacks sitting poised and ready.
C. I know it will spark another debate I have no intentions of seeing to its fruitless end, but I can't help but note that if you are somehow under the impression that Larry Kudlow is "an idiot," you know a lot less than you think. Unlike with musical production and DJing, the 'well, what have YOU done?' rebuttal does apply in economics.

Ahh, so because he touts a flawed system he is somehow better than me because I'm a university student? It doesn't matter how many times one says, "supply-side economics is right!", it's not going to come true.
I know a lot about him and his policies and ideas. He's an idiot. He called for us to invade Iraq so it would raise the stock market. He kept adamantly claiming we weren't in a recession and had hit bottom in May, 2008, when the market was about the same point it's finally recovered to now.
Trickle down economics is bull and always has been and will be. |

My brother was able to have his flight changed from Narita to Kansai on United at no cost, even though it included adding a transfer at SFO to make it to Seattle.
Good to see companies trying to help out and get people in and out of the country effectively. |

False tsunami alarm: It never reached the coast.
There's smoke coming out of Fukushima Dai-1 Power Plant. You can follow me on my Twitter if you want to receive the next few updates.
It's live on NHK, I don't know if there's an available internet stream in English, but I'm following the news closely. There was yet another aftershock in the Tokyo area a couple of hours ago, by the way, nothing big (5~3 Richter Scale). |

| The spokesman is about to break down in tears... I hope this is just them being too overly concerned... |
