Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...

Without Net Connection Once Again

I am temporarily without broadband yet again...another attempt by one of my neighbors to get "free" cable, this time he ended up in the hospital after suffering from a (mild?) electrical burn....LOL

Unfortunately for us in the apartment building, we're without cable/internet until at least monday, Dec. 14...so posting will be rather sparse...this is getting really old.
