Heros

No, not the TV show... but those who do the impossible.

They are those who run into buildings when everyone else runs out.

They are those who walk up to a man with a gun to stop him.

They are those who put themselves between the innocent (and sometimes not so innocent) and danger and death.

They are those who fight against all opposing forces, even when those at home degrade what they are doing and call the battle they are fighting an un-winnable war.

They are not politicians who strut around like peacocks, who are too big for their britches, who complain and whine, who play childish games, who make faces, who cheer and jeer at others and their failures and wins, who talk down to the people who have hired them!

Washington, you are not heroes to me!

And to a certain 5 year-old, you do not have capes, so you cannot be heroes.

Until you suck it up, be adults, and begin working for those who give you paychecks, you are at the bottom of the list.

To the brave in Washington, amen. Fight the fight and keep pulling yourself up on my list of good guys.
