Default The Island of Guam Faces Catastrophic Threat From US Military!!

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...67-503544.html

I heard this on the news this morning and thought it was an April Fool's joke. However, it was not. There's a video to prove it.
If I were a Democrat living in Georgia right now...I would have to move to another state. Seriously. Would you not?

Legitimate concern raised, opposition focuses on the manner in which the concern was raised, legitimate concern ignored. Sounds pretty standard to me. The only thing left to complete the joke is a shipment of floaties.

Did you notice the body language in the video?

If so, then that is a most excellent response.

If not, then watch it, it is sadly, not a joking matter.

To think, a 3-star has to remain composed through the entire shenanigan, while staff is seen losing their composure!

Makes me wonder...if I were a Public Relations expert, would I make more money saving the butts of celebrities or government officials?

Market yourself to both types of clients and make a killing?

My responses are always excellent, Felix.

Does anyone know when the South Park Guam parody episode is coming?

Heheh.. The dude's IQ is below 0 obviously. Does he think Islands simply float on the ocean like a plastic lid on water? lol.. oh boy.

Now if he said SINK I *might* have listened closer, but come on...

I hope someone makes a youtube video of a crowd of people- and put them on one side of an island, and with CG, have the island flip over! hehe gawd.

Islands are landlocked to the ocean floor bro.

Or maybe it was just a cataclysmic geological event?

At any rate, the senator's concerns may be valid, but his analogy sucks horribly.
