No mention of party in title, subtitle, first sentence , or first paragraph.

He therefore is a democrat.

Yeah, but the Bambi administration are seasoned professionals. They can manipulate facts so they believe them no matter to what degree they’re medicated!

According to supporters, Carlson was born in England, went to Princeton University and even refereed tennis matches at the Bejing Olympics, but Carlson admitted to 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that he lied.

How much do politicians do this these days?

"My brain when it's not medicated can manipulate facts so that I believe them," Carlson said. "I am very sorry for what I've said."

Is that what caused the huckster to claim the doctoral degree..

So he lied about NOT being an American?

The University of Minnesota grad student

Ihope the school quickly investigates his academic record, BEFORE we end up with another Ward Churchill Clinton running loose.

ditto.

However, he is probably on the short list for jobs in the Obama Administration.

There was a guy just like that in my high school named Richard Bryce.

He had this weird "British" accent, he'd say "Hi I'm Rich-hard Bryyyyyyyce" or "I'm going to have a Hhhhhaaaaaamm Saaaaahhhndwich for luncheon, chums."

He was always making up these stories that weren't true. Like this one time, he was telling us how he had this girlfriend in Chinatown, and some Triad group didn't want want him around her anymore, and one night he went down there and they threw this ninja style beating on him, and he was lying on the ground yelling "Mai Lee!!! Mia Lee!!!" and then this car blew up... and then one of the guys at our lunch table was like "Yeah, I saw that on Magnum P.I. last week."

Are you serious? Apparently he did not go to Princeton, is not from England, did not referee tennis matches. On the plus side he is a democrat. His brain was lying to him.

Is this another story whereby the large student voter registration affected a local election?

The loose voter registration laws, I believe, are having an adverse affect on some smaller communities with large colleges and universities.

they live in a dorm or nearby houses, but their home of record is elsewhere, however they can still register. This is not right!
