Excellent news. New research shows that Guam has not tipped over yet.

Representative Johnson is not only worried about Guam tipping over, but is also quite concerned that 0.0001 mole fraction of Mann-made CO2 will destroy the planet.
Rep. Johnson urges House to act on climate change
JUL 23, 2013 ISSUES: ENVIRONMENT
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) spoke today on the House floor to again urge GOP leadership to address the need to act on the issue of climate change. Johnson pointed to the dangers climate change poses to the nation’s food production as yet another reason why the House should “stop denying reality and move forward” on a comprehensive plan to address the issue.Rep.

Whew! We’ve dodged that bullet, at least thus far.
Was just reading that Thomas Jefferson knew 18 languages(English,Greek,Latin,French,Italian,Spanish and 12 native American dialects).
And now we have mental midgets like this running the show.
Seems like Jefferson was the front-runner there with claiming fluency (read/write) in those 6. He seems to have also studied several others, without claiming fluency.
13 out of the first 21 Presidents spoke more than one language, compared to only 7 out of all the rest of them…with 3 of those being ‘conversational’ only.
I guess you can add O to the list…if double-speak and lawyerese are considered official languages.
How about a national day of tipping on Guam … folks could tip a few cold ones, go cow tipping and then all head to one side of the island for the grand finale and tip the whole freakin’ island over … what spectacle!!
A great idea to boost Guam tourism but it could get out of hand if it spread to the mainland. What if San Franciscans tip over a few Smarts and head down to the Wharf? Would they just tip over the city or could they capsize the whole continent?
I don’t even want to think about it.
That’s what fault lines are for.
San Fran would simply snap off and the rest of the continent would be fine.
Especially if it took the lower 1/2 of California with it. (I live in hope…)
Coast only! Leave the valley alone.
West of Yuma there are the sand dunes that will serve as the beaches. Just beyond them the land slopes below sea level. We fantasize about this a lot here.
The imperial dunes – just outside Felicity – the center of the universe. 😉
But make it farther west. The Laguna mountains would be a good stop.
SF? You mean upright them? I think they already tipped over.
But Jefferson owned slaves so anything he did was illegitiment.
Guam was never tipping over – Hank was just falling over.
Tipsy
Party pooper {:>D
I remember an article released after the “Guam tipping” fiasco, where Hank’s office claimed he was on some heavy prescription drugs at the time. Then they rethought the issue, and realized that a Congressman completely doped out on serious drugs wasn’t such a good story when it came to casting votes (or anything else for that matter). So at that point they started claiming that it was dead-pan humor, and that we’re all a bunch of fools for taking him seriously. Well, they’ve got one thing right, I definitely don’t take him seriously.
“Hats back on, gentlemen, an idiot.”
Funny … for anyone not in on it, the phrase above is derived from “Hats off, gentlemen- a genius!” …
Thanks Jim.
I meant to mention I cribbed it from PDQ Bach.
Some village in Georgia is missing it’s idiot.
535 around the nation are missing their idiots. It is called Congress.
“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress …”
Always love a good Twain quote. 🙂
Rush mentioning ‘data tampering’ now, 1:08 PM CDT
At about 1:15 PM CDT blogger A. Watts’ name is mentioned …
Found some photos of Guam tipping over;)

Well they are acting on the issue of climate change. They are acting like it is important. What’s more they have lots of Hollywood actors helping them.
As the world cools these people will look even more like complete nutters. Including Mr Chief Nutter in the WH.
Bruce DON’T use the words ‘Climate Change’ keep holding their feet to the fire and continue using ;Global warming or “Gore-Bull Worming”
You do not want to let them morph the game into something else.
Clearly, some people won’t be happy until something tips or sinks Guam. A few years ago some folks thought a proposed aircraft carrier pier complex would do the trick.
This guy has a drivers license. Amazing.
And the vote…
