Maybe he knows something we don't...

Quote"My fear that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," the Georgia Democrat said, making a tipping motion with his hands.

Anyway, just to be on the safe side, let's all keep the people of Guam in our thoughts & prayers.

McKinney's replacement strikes again.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

This guy replaced the woman in my avatar, scourge of Georgia, Cynthia McKinney.  Unfortunately District 4 contains most of DeKalb County, which is a magical land of insanity which regularly sends off one of its best to congress.

What if Katmai visits Guam?

Apparently he's quite ill and undergoing experimental treatment, so I think he should be a given a pass on this.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Yeah, this is something that sounds too stupid to be plausible.  Either he was out of his mind, or badly taken out of context.

I tip my hat to the Navy guy for not laughing in his face.  I'm pretty sure I would have.  :blush:

He has probably dealt with politicians before. A few years ago a Swedish MP asked a panel of scientists why you don't just put a propeller on cars and generate power from the airflow when driving.

He took so long to say that Guam is a small island, about a minute, so his excursion into hyperbole looked retarded.

I felt rather sorry for the admiral, the proceedings looked farcical.
