Gabby Giffords is the first congressman to be shot since Leo Ryan at Jonestown in 1978. |

Just to remind you that this has happened only twice in US history unless I'm forgetting somebody.

10. You're right. - jumped on the word 'elected' |
|
what a day. My mind, what's left of it is scrambled.
I hope Congresswoman Giffords makes it through this nightmare. So sorry for everyone. Nine year old little girl - lost to this insanity. Terrible.

Short circuit in the grey matter and just went with the word 'elected'. It's one of those days :(

6. Not an assassination, though. |

I find it hard to call anyone proud (or foolish) enough to fight in a duel a victim of murder.
