Political Manuevering

I'm off to Quito with Dustin for an orthodontist appointment. I see that the Congress fired the Supreme Court late last night. Interesting times here. I wonder if the President can remain in power much longer. One thing he does have, if not the support of the people and the Congress, is the backing of the military. That goes a long way in this country, where the military is the traditional arbiters of power. So far life is very much normal here in Shell, and we are seeing no effects of what is going on in Quito.
