Love this Breakfast of Champions' statement. I'm sure Carson's wife is thrilled with his candor.

And he'd like his office to look like a hospital waiting room?

Go back to neurosurgery then. Leave the housing department to people who know what they're doing and actually care about policy results.

And stop blaming your wife. It's cheesy, not to mention ineffective.
