I don't tweet but I do enjoy the laughs. Truth is laughing at ourselves is the best medicine

What I want to know is why people who are already well qualified find it necessary to make up shit to appear even more qualified, popular, important, successful, whatever. I'll never get it.

victims. Part of feeling like you can't be fooled helps them. Carson followers see themselves as especially virtuous I bet. Better to see oneself as smart and dumb. Good and bad. Weak and strong. Cause no one person has all the thousands of kinds of intelligence and strengths and virtues that are in humanity. And that leaves a backdoor for the creepy like Carson to become leaders.

They are saying he implied he could've gone to the school, had he applied. The poor dumb fucking bastards (of which I have many family members) will never believe the truth, even if it's sitting on their faces and starting to wiggle.

it matters little what they say or do.

Well, the meme-ing is a hilarious delight today. People are having some fun at his expense. Another great day in the history of the Republican party, a whacko around just long enough to make them look even crazier than before, competing with another egomaniac making everyone think they are even more bigoted. They don't make popcorn good enough for this show.
