No records exist of this. Putin was 16 years old at the time.

When questioned on his sources, Carson again refers to "secret"
information provided to him by government officials, including the CIA.

Carson needs to be put in a straitjacket ... quickly. Between him
and Trump, I have a feeling that when it's all over the 2016 POTUS
nomination process is going to be one of the biggest embarrassments the
GOP has ever had.

I guess it only serves to prove that in the USA, *anyone* can run for
President.


Hopefully, not as big an embarrassment as I would like Hillery to be for
the democrats. If honesty counts for anything, I think Trump is the
clear winner. The rest are just politicians saying what the surveys and
polls are telling them to say, doctored up by their organizations of
course. Who among them has a track record of accomplishments that backs
up the rhetoric being spewed?


I suppose you're right. At least Trump has a plan:

Couple of loonies running for president.....

Whine about Carson all you want. He's not the greatest politician, might be a bit
over-religious, doesn't have a firm grasp of everything international, and gets
hammered continuously by the media.

But, I'd take him over Hillary any day of the week.

I think that is true of doctors in general. They spent so much time in
medical training, interning, residency then the stresses of running a
practice that they did not have the time to learn much else.
I knew a lot of them socially when I was with my ex and they were
pretty one dimensional.
I do agree that Carson takes this to the extreme. He is certainly a
one trick pony, albeit a pretty cool trick, but there is not much call
for that in the white house.



Gosh, my first doctor in DC, a guy I met socially at a political dinner,
was actually a cardiologist, a best selling author, and the brother of
another best selling author. He was as well rounded a guy as one could
imagine. Sadly, he was killed about 35 years ago while chasing after a
home burglar.

Hardly a one dimensional guy.

My recent doctor, who just retired, raises race horses. Another one
dimensional guy, I suppose.

Ah, another doctor nut.




I recall your wife is a horse person, too. I really don't get that...I
mean, the care and feeding they require is endless, they create
mountains of poop, et cetera. I used to ride horses once in a while when
I lived out in Kansas and Missouri, but they were stable rentals, and
their care and upkeep was not my concern.

No surprise there.

One of the after school jobs I had in CT was working at a horse farm.
I think it was on Pulaski Highway, but I can't remember exactly. I know
I used to thumb rides to get there.

IIRC, the owner was also a doctor and he bred and raised thoroughbred
race horses. I mucked the stalls, brought the horses in from the
turnouts, fed them their afternoon grain and routinely got bit in the
ass, arms and hands. Race horses are a totally different animal
compared to my wife's horses. The males are not "fixed" (geldings) and,
as stallions, are very high spirited and ornery. If you didn't
establish a clear, "I am the boss" relationship with them, they could
be quite scary and dangerous to handle.

Even the females were more aggressive. Can't count how many times they
would wait until you turned your back on them to fill their grain bucket
to bite you in the ass.

Had my fill of horses early on. My wife's are far more laid back but
can still have their moments. Most of the time they are just playing
with you and are actually being friendly but, at over 1,000 lbs and big
ass teeth, you still have to be careful. Funny thing is ... if you
put a saddle on them they become perfect gentleman and let you ride
them, pet them, etc. It's when they are running around free in the
paddock that you have to watch out.

If god wanted us to ride horses he would not have invented Harleys.

I knew a couple of gentleman farmer doctors but this was more of a
plantation than a guy running a farm but it comes with great tax
advantages.
