Nemo me impune lacessit

No one provokes me with impunity

Article 1, Section 9, Constitution of the United States

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...

Hey guys, it's been a while. I had to stop posting about politics on a regular basis because...I was getting way too angy!

Here's the rub...I've run across a band called the New Orleans Night Crawlers. These guys are the real deal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0lGlG_ZIw

Everyting that old tyme New Orleans jazz is supposed to be... I hope that those few people who still come here will give 'em a listen and then, pass it on.
