Global Warming is not our most critical problem (or why Admirals are paid so much)

(facepalm)

How that Admiral could keep a straight face is a tribute to military discipline.

No, Mr. Representative, islands don't tip over. Islands are actually the tippy top of big mountains starting at the bottom of the ocean.

Representative Johnson serves on the House Armed Services Committee...... and he bellieves that islands can capsize if you put too many people on them.

sad. :nope:

Actually, there is floating islands that could, given enough weigth on one side, dip over. :yep:

I am pretty sure Guam ain't one of them. :DL

Yeeeaa... you might be on to something... :DL

Of course them crafty Japanese may have just kept Guam anchored all these years just to fool us.

Ya never can tell about them Japanese. They are insidious that way.

Maybe the whole idea was for us to believe that Guam was a solid island just waiting for the day when "too" many marines get deployed. All the Japanese would have to do is pull the string and <flip>!

And maybe this congresscritter is the only one who knows this?


no, I can't back that up. :nope:

Five dollars says this guy's map of the Pacific only goes as far as Hawaii, and after that it's just a big blank space with Here Be Dragons scrawled across it.

LOL :DL

The Representative claims that he has visited Guam before. I think that someone needs to explain that when he experienced Guam tilting it was probably more to do with what he had to drink than any population density.

What a maroon! :D

That was good for a laugh... :har:

Probably very happy....in his own world :DL

At least he's not some idiot who's President only because his dad was President.

LMAO! :har:

Did you know that this man suffers from severe health problems from hepatitus B and is as they say 'prone to wandering'.

I like how they describe his statement: 'Made a tippy motion with his hand, and said sternly...' :lol:

I wonder how hard everyone else facepalmed afterwards...

Kinda like this guy?

I've been to Guam too, and I know for a fact it can tip over! That's why they keep a submarine base there, so they can park the subs underneath whichever part looks low; at least until they can shift the people there to the other side.




What?




It's the second?




Never mind.:oops:

Anyone see Al Gore on Conan O'Brien a while back? He claimed that the Earth's core was millions of degrees. ROFL.

You don't need to be bright to be a politician. I remember a US President who claimed he was campaigning in all 57 States. And another who gave condolences to the 10,000 people killed in a small town by a tornado the day before (it was really 10).

I thought they started using inner tubes for that now?!? :06:

Maybe that's why the Japanese ran to cliffs and jumped off when we invaded various islands—the US troops were obviously towards the other side, if all the japs jump off that are balancing the other side, the island capsizes, and they win!

LOL :DL

He was speaking figuratively. Referring to the islands infrastructure collapsing with the addition of 8,000 marines.

Now I don't defend democrats often but Ive read the details on this story and he was being sarcastic.
