"Dr"Carson is so dedicated to his craft that, prior to his announcing his bid for the presidency, he actually removed his brain and placed it in a jar at home next to his memorial to Jesus so it would be protected and blessed while he campaigned.

As someone who grew up watching soap operas, your comment had me howling!
Yeah, but heâs bilking Republican rubes! Man, thatâs rich, fertile territory.
Money they wonât be able to spend on real candidatesâŚalthough Iâm not sure they really have any of those either. LOL!
Iâm so embarrassed for that occasional driver I see sporting a âCARSON 16â bumper sticker. I hope by now theyâve seen enough to feel embarrassed and ashamed themselves. Whatâs it take to realize this guy is a joke as a presidential candidate?
Maybe he knows surgery (having spent 40+ years in medical research I kinda doubt it) but in politics this guy is a flounder out of water.
True. But heâs actually onto something, though not in the way he imagines in his confused cortex. The danger to the grid is not from some imaginary nuclear device, but from more mundane computer hacking. A well-planned cyber assault on the systems that control the grid could create some fairly spectacular havoc.
Thank you for posting what I was thinking of posting, Sooner!
Hereâs one I think youâll appreciate.
He said enemies want to attack âour electrical gridâ
This is probably the most cogent thing heâs opined. Rather than bringing down the Twin Towers, destruction that was arguably more symbolic than strategic, a more devastating attack would have been to crash one of the planes into a nuclear reactor and another into power transmission lines in the Midwest. The latter is particularly vulnerable, as weâve seen on more than one occasion.
I gotta say, at TPM I like the comments more than the articles.
âAfter former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said that âeverybody on this stage is better than Hillary Clinton,â Carson thought that under the debate rules, he should get the chance to defend himself.â
In Carsonâs defense he was defending against the accusation that he was a better candidate than HRC. He would have been equally entitled to defend against the accusation that he does not believe in the great Newtown conspiracy and all manner of Obama conspiracy theories running wild on the Web.
Iâve said for at least the past 4 months that I thought he had a drug problem. Still think so.
âThe fact of the matter is, [Obama] doesnât realize that we now live in the 21st century, and that war is very different than it used to be before,â Carson said. âNot armies, massively marching on each other and air forces,âŚ
Sez the guy who wants to use armies massively marching on each other in the Middle East.
Actually, armies have not marched on each other massively since WWI. Donât know where Bennyâs been, probably asleep.
You win the Internet for today!
Tom Not-So-Swift, Jr. and his Exoatmospheric BS-atron
Iâd like him to explain how a cyber attack works after a massive EMP attack.
With Jeebus, anything is possible.
Itâs like the most perfect âBad Lip Synchingâ ever.
Holy shit, this explains so muchâŚ
But symbolic vs. tactical destruction is precisely what separates terrorism from warfare. If Al Qaeda wanted to kill as many people as possible, they would have crashed the planes into packed football stadiums. It wouldnât have had the same effect though.
