From David Hawkings' daily CQ/RollCall update today:
"THE HOUSE: Convened at 9 and is done for the week, having voted 408-0 for legislation that would apply anti-smuggling laws to the ultralight aircraft that have become the mule of choice for moving drugs from Mexico into the Southwest.
The bill was a longtime priority of Gabby Giffords, who cast her final vote in favor of her measure — just after handing in her letter of resignation during an extraordinarily emotional half an hour of tributes on the floor. “I will recover and will return and we will work together again,” the Arizona Democrat declared in her letter, which was read by her friend Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Giffords did not come to the microphone, but walked haltingly to the top of the rostrum to hand her resignation paperwork to Boehner, who was far from alone in openly sobbing at the sight.""Today, [the American voter] chooses his rulers as he buys bootleg whiskey, never knowing precisely what he is getting, only certain that it is not what it pretends to be." - H.L. Mencken

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

Gotta give her props, she still has more brains after the shooting than her friend, Debbie Blabbermouth Schmuck.
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

I started tearing up watching Schultz read Giffords' letter. She was not my representative and I didn't agree with her on some things but it's still so heartbreaking.
