I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at a public official like this. This is the same guy who suggested Guam might capsize if the US stationed more military equipment there.

Well if we attach enough balloons to the heavy side of Guam it can be saved.

The NRA should put this guy’s picture on a poster with the caption, “We are against the Mentally Ill Owning a Gun”.

I have written a letter to him about the dangers of all sorts of helium compounds that we unknowingly use in our daily lives and the dangers associated with them. He needs to be pressed to lead a campaign against evil corporations that use helium based compounds in their products with no concern for the safety for the consumers, just interest in huge corporate profits.
Case in point: Does this guy even know how dangerous the commonly used chemical xenon argide is?

Imagine a world without clowns. Where would you be then, Hank?

Actually, Hank, the helium shortage is a fairly important subject.

Its a very important industrial gas. Important enough that we cut off the supply to Germany in the 1930s.
