Picture Of Suspect's Troubled Life Comes Into Focus
In his own way, Jared Loughner did try to fit in. Before everything fell apart, the 22-year-old did what a lot of people his age do these days: Lived at home with his parents, went to community college, worked low-wage jobs at big-box stores and volunteered his time for a cause he believed in. None of it worked. His relationship with his parents was strained. He struggled at school and eventually got kicked out. He clashed with co-workers and police. And he couldn't follow the rules at an animal...

Obama Calls Clarence Dupnik
From Right Wing News A Thank You Call to America’s Worst Sheriff by Van Helsing The worst sheriff in America, Pima County’s irresponsible Clarence Dupnik, has accomplished notable achievements in the past.

The shooting of Gabrielle Giffords leaves members of Congress at a loss in more ways than one.
Barney Frank had left the floor of the House for a moment. Dozens of his fellow members were in the chamber saluting the work of their colleague Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the lives of six people who were killed when a gunman opened fire at one of her public meetings. I stopped Frank to ask him what he thought of the bill, soon to be introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., to ban the high-capacity magazines that the alleged shooter had used.

Liberals Seek Ban on Metaphors in Wake of Arizona Shooting
After the monstrous shooting in Arizona last week, surely we can all agree that we've got to pass Obama's agenda immediately and stop using metaphors.
