You recognize that I challenged you to bet, and you confess that you refused, thus supporting my point yet again.

Regarding the mythical Bush note, I'm not going to apologize for something I already conceded -- "I'll have to take your word that you never claimed to have a note from him." Note that I conceded straight away, instead of making you work for it. That's a good thing to do. When you've got no evidence, when it's your word against hers, go ahead and give up. Painless!

Only weak egos struggle against the inevitability of being wrong once in a while. That's you.
