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...

Quote of the Day

Yesterday the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration announced the formation of Climate Service office. This office will provide information to Congress on climate change.
“More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,”

Quote: “But, says NOAA spokesman Justin Kenney, they’re happy to have a chance to educate people about the difference between the climate and the weather.”True. Weather is observable, measureable, and even predictable. Climate change is [only] “evidenced” only by manipulated data.
The press conference was done telephonically due to the blizzard this past weekend.
