Re: Guam will capsize
Please bear in mind the district in Georgia he is from.
Outside the Atlanta perimeter, Georgia is a pretty solid conservative state.

Re: Guam will capsize
I thought it had to be an April fools joke until I found out he said it back around March 25th. I saw the clip on Jay Leno's show and unless this congressman is a fantastic actor he was totally serious. Never cracked a smile or gave any indication he was kidding. Scary!
Here is the Youtube clip. It is 2:38 seconds long and the good part is close to the end.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

So basically, if Guam's current population is increased by 14% or so, there is a danger of the island tipping over.

Re: Guam will capsize
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): "I wasn't suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over. I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents -- an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 -- could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island's fragile ecosystem and overburden its already overstressed infrastructure."

This statement is way too clever for Hank Johnson to have personally composed it. I give *them* points for trying, though.

Well, I don't know him personally. When I heard the statement, I felt it was metaphorical. I'd have to know more. I can't imagine a human being thinking a piece of land could capsize. I think I would need more information on this. Something isn't making sense, unless he was drunk or high. Honestly, I haven't checked into this statement at all. I just put out the surface information.
