It’s been a very tough week. Between some health issues and the loss of a fellow SubVet, it’s been long and stressful.

The Congress this week voted to remove the Speaker. It was an unusual event, one that hasn’t happened – at least in this manner – before. It has caused a great deal of brouhaha, and a great deal of “discussion” between conservatives as to whether or not it was a “smart” moves.

I tend to look at things from a historical perspective and so I wander back through those halls and ask myself what the people who actually invented democracy would have had thought about it all?

Something tells me that they wouldn’t have been impressed…
