During a recent House Armed Services Committee hearing, Democrat Congressman from Georgia Hank Johnson voiced concerns that the island of Guam may “tip over” due to an increase in American military personnel there.

Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, [Rep. Hank] Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”
Willard paused and said, “We don’t anticipate that.”
Currently, Guam has a population of about 175,000 people. The US military plans to add several thousand troops and their families to the island.
The Georgia Democrat, who had a pronounced slurring of speech and at times took pauses to get his thoughts together, rambled on about concerns for global warming and other inanities during his time at the microphone.

So this is what happens when you smoke crack and pot and are a democrat in congress, worried about islands tipping over.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

I saw it on Mathews last night. Hillarious
The stone that the builder refused
Will always be the head corner stone
Everyone seemed to be keeping a straight face, which was impressive.
Quote from Cypress:
"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "
