LAS VEGAS (The Borowitz Report)The Democrats who participated in the first Democratic Presidential debate of the 2016 campaign garnered a scathing review from the retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who said that none of them offered a concrete plan to protect the Earth from an invasion of bloodthirsty alien dragons.
A swarm of marauding dragons with the capacity to shoot flames a thousand feet or more could destroy life on this planet as we know it, Carson told Fox News. And yet not a single one of these Democrats has apparently given any thought to such a threat.
While the Republican Presidential candidate acknowledged that the Democrats in Las Vegas tangled over such issues as guns, Syria, and income inequality, he said, I did not hear the word dragon once.
If I am elected President, I will gather the greatest minds in technology to design and build a dome made of dragon-proof material, he said. As a backup plan, in the event of a dragon attack, I would attempt to convince the dragons to attack Mars instead.

Pundits ask if this will save his failing candidacy.
For my part, I think Carson is exaggerating. No way the flames could travel 1,000 feet. I'd say 200 feet, tops.

Yes, Carson is nuts, we know.
