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...

Happy Freakin' Holidays...

Took my wife to to the ER @ GMBC yesterday...she was disoriented and having balance issues.  We found out today she's had a stroke located in her brain stem.

The good news is I found out that my company is doing a mass layoff...likely after the new year.  When it rains it pour's.  Anyone need a cabinetmaker with 15 years experience?  Or, failing that a history prof/teacher?

Won't have unemployment due an issue from when I was self employed...its pouring now.  Any help out there would be deeply appreciated.
