“I’m concerned that Guam might become over populated and tip on its side and capsize”… wow… what the f… is in the koolaid they’re drinking on capitol hill? And who in the h…. voted for this guy to begin with?
I did a little research on this guy, Congressman Hank Johnson, Atlanta, Ga. Apparently on Monday this week, his office released a statement that he was ill with Hepatitis C. I am no doctor but if the man is in serious health, so much so that it has impact on his lucid, cognative abilities, it would appear that he needs to resign from office. The same press release indicated that he is planning to run for re-election. So here we have a case of:
We are in the middle, trapped like mesmerized rats to the pied piper’s whistle, a moth to a flame, a deer in the headlights, the stampede of the lemmings . . . We do not know who to believe, who is the propogandist, the conman, we even see the words anti-christ strewn around . . . lies are truth and truth are lies . . . Media War has overtaken us . . . is it possible to know so much yet understand so little?
Let me guess, Harvard. The editor of a school newspaper. Has anyone written an autobiography for him? We may have the next Progressive Socialist Presidential Candidate.
Is there a sobriety and drug test of candidates for the presidency?
How about the Naval Officer’s reply, “We don’t anticipate that happening.” That takes a high degree of control and poise to answer that with a straight face.
Guam….tip…over…and…capsize????
Are you sure this isn’t an Onion video?
Heeeeyyyyyy!!! Are you guys playing an April Fools joke???
What if a big wind blows Guam all the way back to America?
What will happen then?
There are many problems I bet the Navy hasn’t even considered.
TALLGRASS you have the right way to say it ,i feel that i get my truths from here,among every one here and you ,,i at my beginning on checking many blogs ,and eventualy end up here and i was rebuf on a comment ,and i stayed in the unknown for a while,and sudenly i realyse that is where i wanted to be because of what you and i call the sincerity and the truth coming from here,so i will stay here now also because i feel ,they are all my friends ,
bye
This is what constitutes serious discussions in congress nowadays? I don’t know what else to say to that, lol. It speaks for itself.
Oh my goodness! I just figured out what is happening to Rhode Island!
There are too many people on it so it is capsizing!!!!
he was trying very hard to get to his last phrase on blobal warming,,not a good salesman,
@JanH:
Nope Jan.
This video is for real. The Congressional hearing took place last week.
On second thought, the guy is a fool on this first day of April, but he’s also a fool in January, February, March, etc etc.
@Aye Chihuahua:
I was afraid of that.
You have no idea how proud it makes me to be able to tell you that this is my representative. /sarc
He actually replaced Cynthia McKinney. Last election, he went unchallenged. This year, we have 3 GOP contenders. Georgia’s 4th district combines most of Rockdale County, which is fairly conservative, Gwinnett county is a toss-up and Dekalb is about as liberal as it gets. Most polls have this as a democrat safe seat; we’re hoping we can pull off an upset.
He had to be kidding. Then again, another black female congresswoman from the same era as this guy believed we landed men on Mars. (Shelia Jackson Lee)
History, physics, economics are not taught in law school. Even at Harvard. Only how to use the law to screw something up.
Also, Hep C is not immediately fatal. All the Heps are dangerous, some lie dormant for decades. In the end it can destroy your liver. My partner got it somehow on the job. That was about eight years ago and he’s fine. It will, sadly, probably shorten his life. But that was the risk we took to be in police work.
This man is a moron.
Do you think he had an in depth understanding of the Obamacare bill, or what?

As much as it pains me to come to the defense of any sitting democrat congressperson, I found this at neo-neocon:
April 1st, 2010
In defense of Hank Johnson
By now you may have heard of a recent episode involving Congressman Hank Johnson, who represents the Fourth District of Georgia in the House, one of the most Democratic Congressional districts in the US.
Johnson has received a certain amount of ridicule for expressing his concern about what one might call the geographic stability of Guam (at 1:16 to 1:35 in this video):
However, I would like to offer a spirited defense of the unjustly-maligned Representative Johnson. First of all, although this is a little-known fact, he and Admiral Willard, the man he is questioning in the video, are old friends. They met in 1986 on the set of the film “Top Gun.” Willard was a consultant and actor in the film (you can look it up), but the telegenic Johnson also played a bit role in the film as one of the other pilots.
Willard and Johnson struck up an acquaintance on the set, finding that they shared a remarkable gift for deadpan humor. They developed a number of routines that had the other “Top Gun” actors and extras in stitches, and were both known for keeping a straight face throughout the silliest exchanges, a skill that served them remarkably well during their recent encounter in Congress.
One of their old routines involved a bit about landing an airplane on the island of Guam. The joke was about how small and narrow the island was, so thin it couldn’t even hold a runway, and so any landing might cause the whole island to tip over. It may not sound so funny in print. But it was Johnson and Willard’s delivery that made it so special.
The exchange you see in the video has been much criticized. But it has actually been widely misunderstood. That portion of the question-and-answer merely represents an updating of their old routine, with both Johnson and Willard playing their familiar roles. Note how deftly Johnson sets Willard up with classic comic timing, drawing it all out with lengthy emphasis on just how tiny the island is. Then, after Johnson expresses his concern that Guam just might tip over and capsize (this time because of added people, rather than an airplane), Willard responds with perfect composure and the straightest of faces, “We don’t anticipate that.”
Some have wrongly suspected the two of staging an April Fools’ prank. But that cannot be true, since it happened last Friday, well in advance of that date. No, it was just a bit of welcome levity from two old buddies, designed to lend a certain amount of lightness to these heavy and troubled times. How sad that such well-intentioned efforts have been so universally misconstrued.
[NOTE: One other factor that has not been taken into consideration is that, between college and law school, Hank Johnson apprenticed as a patisier in several swank French restaurants. As part of his trade, he became expert in the creation of the marvelous dessert œufs à la neige, which in English is called “floating island.” Here’s a description:
Floating island is made of egg whites served floating on a milky custard sauce. Some variations uses a thicker sauce, served on top of the dumplings, but usually the milk mix is thin, almost liquid, and the dumplings “float” on top.
The egg whites are beaten with sugar and poured into a mould lined with a thin layer of caramel. Alternately, the whites can be shaped with spoons and allowed to cook gently in sweetened milk with vanilla flavoring. A custard is made using milk, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolks; the mix is cooked in a bain-marie for a few minutes, but must remain thin enough to pour. The custard is topped with the egg whites dumplings. The dish is served at room temperature or cold.
It is therefore even more understandable that the floating island theme has achieved such a prominent place in Johnson’s memory.
What’s more (as if any more vindication were needed), there actually are floating islands—although, sadly, Guam is not one of them.
Another interesting although highly unrelated and irrelevant fact is that Johnson is one of only two Buddhists in Congress. The other is Mazie Hirono of Hawaii—also not a floating island.]

LMAO!!! The definition of military discipline is this admiral keeping his cool & not even giving us a hint of raising an eyebrow or hiding a smile. Priceless!!
This is what happens when you legalize pot. Evidently he’s been smokin’ some of the funny weed and has moved on to other things as well. LSD, crack, etc. Based on this guys idiocy, my 10 year old son should run against him and win by a landslide. My son could make a better argument about how to make an ice cream sunday while lowering taxes than this guy could explain how to get out of bed each day. Here’s your sign!!!!!
@Mamba1-0:
Mamba, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but neo-neocon’s “defense” of Hank Johnson was itself a very well crafted April Fool’s prank.

And of course we’re all supposed to be nice and understanding of this nut job due to his illness. The question is, why is this mental deficient in the house at all?? Oh, yeah. That’s right. He’s black, from a black district and he was the dem party favorite. Silly question, wasn’t it.
We have the best government money can buy.
We have the most inept, ignorant, uninformed, and inarticulate persons imaginable in public office.
This guy is not a moron. He reminds me of a Rush Limbaugh comedy ad, where a young person wants to have a tattoo removed. He had maroon engraved on his body by mistake.
This guy is a maroon.
It is the House of Representatives which has reached the tipping point.
Their little boat is going to capsize and they are all going to be transferred out of government.
Oh, well, get out and vote early, and vote often, especially if you live in Illinois. Or Georgia.
Hot off the presses . . . Congressman Ron Paul issued a “Homeland Safety” Bulletin this morning ensuring the population of Texas that Galveston Island is safely secured to the main land by a major bridge. That at the present time there are no worries that the Island will be blown away by the next big wind. He also said that since Houston is nearby that the vacuum formed due to the low pressure area, that big sucking sound in the 4th Ward, ensures that any movement in Galveston Island will be toward the shore. Money has, however, been allocated to do a study and determine the impact of Antromorphic Global Land Mass Relocation (Anti-Glam-R). Nancy Polosi, immediately issued a counter statement that Anti-Glam-R was insulting to the Madames of the Democratic Party and recommended that the name be changed to Seismic Historical Information Translation (SHIT). Congressmen Waxman, wondering where all the historical data could be accumulated proposed that a new division of the IRS be estalished and called Anti-Glam-R Clearing House. Which upset Congresslady Polosi who insisted that the angency just be called the Shit Clearing House.
Other news will be reported as the Shit Hits the Fan.
TALLGRASS you are joinig the party now and you pass with high degrees ,that was hilarious, i wonder if it’s in the water,but it is fun ,
bye
@Aye Chihuahua~~
I saw that this morning. It rather looks as though I was the April Fool this time.
It works out well, though, since I am relieved of the duty to defend a democRAT congressperson.
Silver lining — blah, blah, blah.
What’s truly scary about these nincumpoops is that socialist/fascist Maxine Waters runs the financial committee along with her other crooked tax evading, bribery and extortion expert friends. Can you imagine what’s going on behind closed doors? These people can’t think their way out of a paperbag and they are making financial decisions and helping themselves to the til? They forgot what their job duties are. And they think they can cheat the vote again? Even if they get 12-15 million illegal aliens and all the jailed and dead people to vote for them along with the tiny group of Obots, They simply cannot win.
75% of America DOES NOT WANT this administration or congres
75%! WOW. Let’s see what shit these congress creeps and barry soetoro’s cronies do with this one. NOBODY FREAKIN WANTS THESE BASTARDS. Except for a measly 25%.
Most of them are drunk, stoned dim-witted or senile. Why must they insist they work past the age of 65?
It’s time to get some young honest patriotic blooded people with business, PR, and other SKILLS to run this country. These people in there now are societies throw-aways who couldn’t get hired for a regular job if their life depended on it. So they ran for office and won because they didn’t have opponents. Just Great!
It’s this kind of idiot that will be making medical decisions for us since he voted for Obamacare. That’s kind of scary. Like I said in earlier posts: GOD HELP US ALL.
