(OT) Can an island "tip over and capsize"?
What would happen to the island of Guam if some additional thousands of
troops were to be stationed there? That's what worries Hank Johnson, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He is part of the House Democratic leadership, elected by the Democratic caucus to serve as whip for Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida and serves on the House Armed Services and Judiciary committees. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsFsn8ekyhw |

The part that concerned me was not his attempt at a joke. Rather, it seemed to me that he can hardly put two words together and his "leadership" seems questionable. Frankly, people from both parties have tripped when trying to be "clever"--especially when making off-the-cuff remarks--and I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt with these attempts at jokes unless they are clearly racist or outrageous. I would not put his attempt in that category. MaryL |

His later point about whether such a small island could support a sudden increase in population was entirely valid, though.
