I bow humbly to your Faux-Noonan-Ness sir, most excellent. In fact your Wonk nay, Wonk-ette-ness, should be truly admired and ripped-off as often as possible.

Now the WSJ should come clean about all the lies the GOP current field of candidates are spewing about trickle down economics. Also,higher taxes does not hurt the economy. On the contrary. The WSJ needs to drink truth serum every day. Then maybe they will regain some credibility.

And this time next year he’ll still not have held a federal office.

Looking more and more like he won’t last much past Iowa. That’s a shame.

A friend used to write for the Journal. He said that the journalists were always appalled by a lot of what made it on the op-ed page. It’s not always completely nuts.

There is a really crude and politically unnecessary joke there that I refuse to make.
This is the kind of factual error Murdoch, Ailes et al. routinely allow to be announced as “fact” on their propaganda machines. The fact the most “reputable” of them now “calls out” Carson for making this statement is a clear indication that the Republican Establishment –– for which Murdoch Inc. has become the spokesman –– has decided Carson is a big liability, and wants to get rid of him. They wouldn’t give a damn what he said if they thought he could win and give them what they want, which is just more income redistribution from the middle class and poor to the already wealthy.

Doctor Wilfred Wingnut here is from the Grumpy Old Party. These are the people well known the world over for making up “History” “Science” or whatever else they need as they go along. That’s how we got “Saint Ronnie and his All Star Traveling Band.”
These people specialize in selling snake oil to a population too stupid to realize that they are being had.
My only question has been, and remains, How much of this sort of dumb, careless, off-the-cuff stupidity are the chickens going to put up with before this man and most all those in, near, and around him are finally understood for what they happen to be?
America.
An entire nation undergoing “boiling frog” syndrome, and enjoying it.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

I’m getting the impression that Ben Carson knows almost nothing about American or any other history, but he believes his neurosurgeon’s self-confidence can somehow overcome any intellectual deficit. After all, tens of thousands of fawning rightwingers hang on his every word, so how could he possibly be wrong?

Ben Carson was never going to lead past Iowa, where the evangelicals rule the roost. But he may continue his book tour right up to the convention!

Aww, Christ … I gotta stop eating when I come here to read the latest on these people. I nearly choked when I read the first paragraph. This man, Dr. Ben Carson, never ever, in his wildest dreams, thought he’d be in the front-runner’s seat. Gosh darn it, he was only out to sell a book.

He forgot to add that the gift was only intended for white male landowners. All others need not apply.

A spokesman for the Carson campaign, when asked about the error, told
the paper that the retired neurosurgeon had since edited his post to
clarify the signers has no experience in “federal” office.
…
What do they mean by “federal”?
The signers were from the elected Continental Congress. At that time that was as “federal” as was possible to get. If Carson is thinking “no experience in our present form of government” then I would say WAIT JUST A DAMNED MINUTE! You cannot have experience in something that has yet to exist. As it is our republic has existed for 239 years and Dr Carson is one of three GOP contenders who have absolutely zero elected office holding experience on any goddam level. He sees this as a feature, not a bug. If I had a beautiful expensive Jaguar automobile that needed repair, who should I take it to? A mechanic with years of experience fixing Jags or that guy down the street who picked up a car magazine yesterday?

Make mine hand-stuffed with blue cheese in a five-shot martini glass with Absolut Peppar and just a wave of vermouth and it makes Republican insanity even more entertaining while temporarily eliminating that cold fear in the gut of what these loons could do to the country.
