In his first speech as mayor he said, "Replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” I love it, and am certain the pearl-clutchers will equate "collectivism" with Communism et al. Like they never belonged to a sports team, a high school club, or the Rotary.

These people are nuts. NCAR developed the GPS dropsonde, which revolutionized the understanding of TC structure, improved forecasts, and validated remote sensing platforms, as documented in over 400 peer-reviewed publications in the last 25 years. And that’s just one of NCAR’s countless advances.
