Tragic.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say that the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords is incredibly tragic.

Regardless of political affiliation or voting record, it surprises me that conservatives in our country are being adamant about being guiltless, rather than offering support as fellow human beings. It always seems suspicious when someone's first reaction is: "It wasn't my fault."

I really hope churches don't picket the funerals of innocent bystanders who were shot and killed by a lunatic.

There's been so much violence to kickstart 2011. Here's a nod to hoping that some peace is instilled throughout the year.

GOP trying to violate the Constitution? What else is new...

I loved the story that Pete Sessions tried to jump-start his new-found position in Congress without being officially sworn in.

It's a silly thing, I suppose, being that the votes had already counted...but FFS, try to at least abide by the procedure and ritual in place that make this government appear to be somewhat functional. Amirite?
