    Someone tell this imbecile that Guam is a mountain, and that the Appalachian mountains might tip over and squash him flat, too.

    Earthquake History of Guam

    During the months of April and May of the years 1825 and 1834 terrible earthquakes were experienced on this island, causing great damage to buildings. On January 25, 1849, a terrible subterranean noise was heard; at the same instant, there was a terrific earthquake with strong vertical and horizontal movements. Damage was reported at Agana and nearby towns; one death was attributed to a sea wave following the tremor. A detailed count of aftershocks from January 25 to March 11 totaled 150. A later report from Satawal, Caroline Islands, about 825 kilometers south-southeast of Guam, indicated that the island had been inundated by sea waves following the earthquake. On July 1, 1862, a moderate shock caused the fall of many tile roofs. On May 16, 1892, some walls were cracked and tiles of the masonry houses fell.

    Quake blame in Guam falls mainly on olde Spain!

    I was there when the island went through a 8.2 so a 5.2 isn’t nothing as far as this clown goes I think he was on drugs at the time.

    “Flashback: Johnson asking a confused General …”

    “Admiral”, actually. And it’s just amazing how Adm. Robert F. Willard managed to keep his composure, and not fall out of his chair, snorting with derisive laughter.

    Having re-watched the clip, doesn’t Johnson seem heavily stoned (as well as stupid)?

  13. Someone'sGottaSayIt says:
    January 3, 2012 at 4:42 pm

    The sad thing is the way he says this he REALLY means it – “my fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it would tip over and capsize” – a U.S. Congressman thinks an island would actually tip over – he REALLY means this!!! Why didn’t anyone stand up and say “hey are you a fucking idiot” because we know what the answer to that question is!

  14. Occasional Reader says:

    @Bio

    8.2!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!

    I’ve been in little puissant earthquakes around 4.5 – 5.5 in California all the time – and they still scare me. 8.2 – I’d die of a panic attack.

  17. Axel says:

    MN Jim….agreed.

  18. Bio says:
    January 3, 2012 at 4:49 pm

    8.2 was not really bad they had to take down a brand new hotel and it did crack alot of concrete buildings. No power for some time but then they killed power everyday somewhere on the rock. Thank goodness most buildings there are concrete anyway.

  20. Nancy says:
    January 3, 2012 at 4:57 pm

    A piddly little 5.2 and the island is going to tip over?

    Mr. Johnson should come out and stay in the Bay Area for a while. Or in Southern California. I was in the 6.2 Sylmar quake in 1971 and the 6.9 Loma Prieta quake in 1989. We haven’t capsized yet, nor has California slid off into the Pacific (although sometimes I wish it would…) Representative Johnson would be running around in circles screaming in panic if he had been in either of them.

    Sometimes, the colossal ignorance displayed by our representatives in Congress leaves me shaking my head. *These* are the people making our laws?

    @Axel:

    Love this bit of leftist taqiyya:

    Giaramita said the song was part of a program sponsored by Kid Pan Alley. The boys and girls worked with a facilitator to come up with a theme and lyrics for a song. The songs are not allowed to promote any political or personal agenda.

    “This was written four months ago,” he said. “And I think this particular issue of the Occupy movement was being looked at in a different way than it is today.”

    A facilitator, lmao.

    Hey ZIP, how about an encore to the story?

  30. hoodaticus says:
    January 3, 2012 at 5:25 pm

    Exactly – 5.2 is nothing. Unless you’re Iran, in which case you can expect a quarter million dead.

    @Ralph Johnson

    “The dude is obviously joking, and making fun of himself at that.”

    Well, we’re obviously joking too. Or do you have a problem with jokes when they’re not directed where your pointy little head thinks they should be?

    What an effin’ dumbass. Sitting on the Marianas trench, Guam gets earthquakes frequently. Went through one around that size when i was living thee as a kid back in 1975.

  34. Rhymes With Right says:
    January 3, 2012 at 5:42 pm

    Just checked that earlier link — it was a 6.2 quake I went through.

  35. hoodaticus says:
    January 3, 2012 at 5:42 pm

    I doubt he’s joking. If he were, Congress would have laughed with him instead of snickering at him.

  38. hoodaticus says:

    Same Congressional district as Cynthia McKinney, and yes, we should nuke it with no warning like how they bomb African villages to contain hemorrhagic fever.

  39. Sniffy Pop Tuna Scented Popcorn says:
    January 3, 2012 at 5:50 pm

    All he did was warn us that he is Geologically Inept and has no F ing clue what he is talking about.

    I still have the utmost respect for the Admiral not saying WTF are you talking about. That was probably one of the most trying mental times in the Admirals whole career.

    When I first viewed that clip, I was absolutely blown the F, away on how ignorant an official at that level could be.

    Frightening!

  43. L.E. Liesner says:
    January 3, 2012 at 6:03 pm

    Just remember he gets paid $174,000 to make stupid and inane statements like this. And he gets re-elected by stupid and inane voters. A perfect example of why we need term limits. Their term should be limited to two terms, one in office and the second one in jail.

    I had an inflatable island for my pool, and it held a cooler for beers. It was great. Anyway, one time it tipped over when I stood up at one end. All the beers fell out and sunk to the bottom of the pool. I did not divedown to get them until the net day, because I had more in a fridge in the garage. So, I was riveted by this Congressman’s understanding of the dangers of islands tipping over and the associated dangers. We can all sleep safe tonight knowing that we have leaders like him that are watching out for us.

    I think we all know by now that Atlantis became decadent and sank under the weight of its own public debt incurred to support single-payer universal leech treatments.

    He’s an idiot.

    at your “widest level” you done flipped over a couple of times already.

  59. Dorthnakotan says:

    The Admiral should have asked him if a ship anchored to the corners would help stabilize the island.

  60. Mad Dog says:

    The Air Force wouldn’t station me at Guam cuz my one-eyed viper is so gigantic, they were afraid I’d tip over the island single – uhhhhh – handed, so to speak.

  61. Senior Galt-lock says:
    January 3, 2012 at 10:45 pm

    Yeah Congressman, I’m sure the fact that Guam is located over the Marianas Trench has absolutely NOTHING to do with this.

    Hey, we had a really nice 4.0 kick here in Ohio New Years Eve afternoon.

    Hank, we got too many democrats living in Ohio. How about moving some O.U.T. before we tip over and dump everyone into Lake Erie.
