    I remember an officer telling me to apply for the Air Force Academy when I was in high school. Should I tell everyone I had a full-scholarship offer?

    And this won't amount to much. Carson can rile up his supporters by claiming the media are being mean.

    It doesn't matter, since he won't come close to winning the nomination.

    There was this time I was sitting in a bar and this girl walks in ...

    I bet after his last job change he and his wife were "dead broke."

    Now we will hear that Dr. Ben never was a respected neurosurgeon but actually was a pretty good HVAC repairman.

    But why would he claim that? There must be some deep sociological reason.

    I wonder if he ever saw a Marine recruiter like Hillary did.

    Had CNN ever tracked down her recruiter?

    I'm waiting for the hourlong one-on-one interview with Brian Williams. By the end of it, one of them will have become the first man on the moon and the other will have killed every German on the beach at Normandy.

    The proper headline is:

    'Carson clarifies West Point offer story'

    He didn't "admit" that he "lied." I'm not even sure his story doesn't check out. Westmoreland told a 17-year-old from inner-city Detroit that he would get into West Point if he applied. Seventeen-year-old from inner-city Detroit believed him.

    It's becoming just one long eye-roll hearing all the BS politicians still throw out there. You'd think with people triple-checking everything a politician says these days would have curbed that.

    Eventually, we learn that what we were told when we were 17 sometimes doesn't check out. You'd expect someone with an Ivy League education would have realized that.
