99 dreams I
have had
In every one
a red balloon
If I could
find a souvenir
Just to
prove the world was here...
And here it
is, a red balloon
I think of
you and let it go.
For the
children, everywhere.
The man, who once worried that an influx of US Marines might cause the island of Guam to 'tip over and capsize' and continuously used the 'm-word' while making a prolonged, passionate, rambling, and, at times, incoherent apology for calling 'm's' 'm's'...that would be, calling midgets 'midgets,' is back at it.
'Mr
Speaker, like a kid at a carnival, I rise in full support of HR 527,
The Responsible Helium Administration and Stewardship Act of 2013.
Mr
Speaker, I’m relieved that and I’m sure that the American people are
relieved as well that Congress is finally going to do something about
one of the most pressing issues of the day, that is… we’ve got to ensure access to helium for all.
Surely
those harmed by sequestration and those harmed by the Republican
failure to appoint budget conferees appreciate the House spending two
full legislative days on this most critical issue. The American people
certainly understand the fact that 48 of this House’s precious time was
necessary to pass such a non-controversial bill.
I’m
pleased to support this bill which shows that this Tea Party congress
will make the tough choice to keep children’s birthday parties on
schedule and give industries that rely on helium the lift that they
deserve.
Imagine,
Mr Speaker a world without balloons. How can we make sure that the
injustice of there being no helium for comedians to get that
high-pitched voice that we all hold near and dear to our hearts.
Imagine
a world without balloons. Today the House has chosen to simply float
above it all. And finally we are going to do something for the American
people and we should all pat ourselves on the back for that.
Too often lately this body has sat deflated. Not for a lack of hot air, mind you.
My point is that America would be much better off if this Tea Party Republican Congress
brought to the floor issues that mean the most to Americans, like
appointing a conference committee to work out a budget with the Senate.
Sadly Republicans are just blowing in the wind and can’t seem to tether themselves down to take up such an important task. They float off in
different directions unable to appoint conferrees to negotiate with the
Senate. Yesterday despite the gravity of the matter, the Tea Party
Republicans couldn't even agree on their own healtcare bill which was
named the "Help Sick Americans Now Act."
With
a title like that I'm flabbergasted, I’m helium flabbergasted that they
could not pass that bill. They've pretty much made a decision that sick
Americans can wait. We need laughing gas because of the inability of
the Republican House to deal with the difficult decisions. It's real
sad. We need the laughing gas.
With
sequestration delaying flights and harming our economy, our nation
needs a little gas. And say what you will, but this is just the best
thing that we can do here. I'd like to float a simple idea -- stop
wasting our time, let’s get to the business that’s meaningful for
Americans, and I support this bill and I yield back.'
- Congressman Hank 'Tipping Guam' Johnson, 25 April 2013
Well, personally, I'm 'helium flabbergasted' that he has gas to bloviate about the budget and the Senate considering the fact that all we got out of Harry Reid and the other farts on the other side of the Balloonhead Hill for 1,445 days on the subject was hot air. Also, didn't Tipping Guam vote for Obamacare and wasn't that supposed to take care of all of those 'sick Americans'? What happened, pumpkin?
First, it was Cynthia McKinney. Then, they sent Tipping Guam Johnson. Whatever
Georgia’s 4th Congressional District is inhaling, IT SURE AS HELL ISN’T HELIUM!
99 Red
Balloons - Nena
You and I in
a little toy shop
buy a bag of
balloons with the money we've got
Set them
free at the break of dawn
'Til one by
one, they were gone
Back at
base, bugs in the software
Flash the
message, "Something's out there"
Floating in
the summer sky
99 red
balloons go by.
99 red
balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells,
it's red alert
There's
something here from somewhere else
The war
machine, it springs to life
Opens up one
eager eye
Focusing it
on the sky
As 99 red
balloons go by.
99 Decision
Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry,
worry, super-scurry
Call out the
troops now in a hurry
This is what
we've waited for
This is it
boys, this is war
The
president is on the line
As 99 red
balloons go by.
99
Kriegsminister
Streichholz
und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich
für schlaue Leute
Witterten
schon fette Beute
Riefen:
Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer
haette das gedacht
Dass es
einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99
Luftballons
99 dreams I
have had
In every one
a red balloon
It's all
over and I'm standin' pretty
In the dust
that was a city
If I could
find a souvenir
Just to
prove the world was here...
And here it
is, a red balloon
I think of
you and let it go.
For the
children, everywhere.
