On Thursday Rep. Hank Johnson of the 4th district of Georgia ( Atlanta) was qestioning an Admiral about placing 5000 U.S. Marines on the island of Guam. He stated to the Admiral that his " greatest fear" was that that placing the Marines on the island would cause the island to become "overly populated" and cause it to (and I quote) "tip over and capsize".

I laughed until I cried. We're paying this moron $174k/yr. No wonder this country is in the shape it's in. You've got to hear the audio; it is hilarious! The Admiral responded, after a brief pause, that he did not anticipte that. I would love to hear what the Admiral told his wife when he got home.

This is confirmed. It is not an April fools joke. It was in the L.A. Times and The Atlanta Journal/ Constitution. The video is on youtube; check it out!
