Great column, Frank, I sure done got smarted a lot from reading it. One can only hope awareness of the potential tiping over of a land mass increases after that.
I have another great idea, let’s ship the entire Congress including the Capitol to Guam after we evacuate the 178,000 people living there. Then if Guam tips over (or, better yet, we make it tip over) and the Congress is lost under the waves of the Pacific Ocean we can have a “chum spreading party” to make sure none of those pesky Congress-critters survives the tip over.
They are the only people that can understand how forcing us to buy expensive health insurance can make health care *less* expensive. They are the only ones that can understand how you can spend Social Security surpluses and still have a “trust fund”. Geniuses one and all.
If Rep. Hank Johnson is so mindbendingly stupid to think that Guam could tip over, I wonder if he’s able to get the toothpaste out of the tube all by himself each morning.
And speaking of stupid, I agree with everything you said, Frank (soooper-genius column, by the way). Does that make me stupider? Mebbe I should seek more re-educashun.
Has anyione asked Hank Johnson if Guam is where Obama raises his unicorns? If Guam flips over, we’ll have a unicorn shortage.
Frank makes a great point. If these dumb@sses think we can flip an island, or landed men on Mars, think Bill Clinotn is a moral model, how in the h#ll can they govern a nation or write a bill? This is how congress lost it’s own healthcare. God save us all.
Go ahead and laugh people, but remember, they were laughing on Atlantis right up to the moment global warming and overcrowding caused that island to capsize, so there…Rep. Hank Johnson, helping to run the show, Washington DC.
I was stationed on Guam for 2 years, and learned a little local history.
The Japs occupied Guam for over a year during the war.
They forced the natives to build bunkers and other fortifications, and confiscated all their boats so no one could leave the island.
The natives hid a few boats, and when the U.S. fleet finally showed up to retake the island, (we needed the air strips on the island for our bombers), they paddled out at night, and told the admirals where all the Japs were hiding, which greatly improved the efficiency of the following naval bombardment.
After the Japanese surrendered, the Guamanians hunted down and killed all the holdouts who refused to give up. (The last one was found living in a cave in 1963. (They let that one live.)
Guam rocks! (but doesn’t tip over.)
I was thinking your article would be about landslides and mega tsunamis, Frank. Or maybe planets that spontaneously explode. Did you know there is a non-zero chance that the Earth will just blow-up on its own?? Wish I could say the same for Congressmen and Senators.

So then, Guam’s not tipping over?
Yes, politician are much smarter than us.
They are the only people that can understand how forcing us to buy expensive health insurance can make health care *less* expensive. They are the only ones that can understand how you can spend Social Security surpluses and still have a “trust fund”. Geniuses one and all.
So, after Guam tips over can we populate the newly formed bottom of Guam island and call it Maug?

I can’t believe how many Marines we sacrificed for such a flimsy little island.
