I suppose there's a chance that Kelly is taken off the Shuttle mission now anyway...

And, well, yeah... the world's a sh**tty place.

Does anyone know when was the last time a Congressman was assassinated? I feel like this is a pretty rare event in American history.

If she dies, she'll only be the second, I think. Last one was Leo Ryan.

There's also James M. Hinds, assassinated in 1868 by a Ku Klux Klan member.

The sad thing is that conspiracy theories are probably working overtime now to "explain" that incident. To them it will be a CIA plot to discredit conspiracy theorists or something.

Btw, what members of Congress have their security details? I bet Speaker have one. Others?

10,503 comments on the Arizona shootings so far on Sarah Palin's Facebook page. The debate rages on.

Apparently, there's also a lot of deleting going on. Every 30 seconds it suddenly drops by ten comments or so. Can't really stop the flood though.
