Is Clyburn the one who thought Guam would tip over if they put to many troops and shipping containers on the island ? He asked the joint-chiefs during a congressional hearing. I can’t remember exactly who it was , it may have been someone from Georgia.

(Sorry, I’ve been waiting for another chance to uncork that awful pun.)
What was an awful pun that you uncorked, but who am I to whine about it? 😉
BTW- When you mentioned “Mignon Clyburn” I took you totally seriously. Had you said “Milburn Drysdale” or “Mignon Clydesdale”, I would have known you were horsing around.
