So was moron.

Northwest Center was the Northwest Center for the Retarded until about 2007. But hey - that was 11 years ago. Go watch Julia Sweeney as Pat on SNL and try to find the funny these days.

I'm trying to tone down my language lately but I still don't think words should be verboten. So while I say retarded pretty instinctively, I cringe when I see that kind of relic from its past.
