Breaking: Gabby Giffords resigning from Congress.

    Congresswoman Giffords, of course, was gravely wounded in 2011 in a murderous attack by a madman that left six dead and thirteen injured. Since then, Giffords has made a remarkable recovery; unfortunately, it apparently has not been enough of a recovery, so she’s resigning in order to concentrate on her health. The video below of the announcement both shows the extent of her injuries, and | Read More »

The left has done its best to try to pin it on the | Read More »

    I’m going to make a political point now

    For those still attacking Sarah Palin for daring to use the word “targets” and maps against Democrats, including Gabrielle Giffords, please note that the DLC and DCCC, the D is for “Democratic”, also had maps with targets in earlier years. Likewise Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos targetted Gabrielle Giffords himself. The self-serving attack over the use of maps and the word “target” is both | Read More »

    As sensible as Son of Sam

    Claiming that Arizona gunman Jared Loughner was motivated to kill by heated political rhetoric is about as sensible as believing the Son of Sam’s assertion that he was motivated to kill by the barking of his neighbor Sam’s dog.  Son of Sam and Keith Olbermann see a link – perhaps even Loughner sees a link – but consider the source.  The truth is people like | Read More »

    Jesse Kelly (R CAND, AZ-08) ahead in primary two ways.

    How do we know this?  First, because there’s a new local poll out that shows Jesse Kelly leading the primary with 35% of the vote. Second, and more importantly, because one of his opponents put together a hit site.  Link’s via Instapundit – I’m not going to give said site traffic – and it’s quite the little collection of innuendos and assertions-stated-as-fact, in its way. | Read More »
