Clearing the Browser Tabs – Prayerful Sunday Edition Posted: 09 Jan 2011 03:10 AM PST Yesterday, a very sick man named Jared Loughner walked up to Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords as she hosted a meet and greet in the parking lot of a Safeway store in Tucson, AZ, pulled out a gun and sprayed bullets at her and the crowd around her. When he was done, six people were either dead or dying and another twelve people, at least, were injured. Rep. Giffords, a noted Blue Dog, was part of the latter group and is expected to survive the assassination attempt. Among Loughner’s murder victims were a 9-year old girl, a local judge, and a 30-year old staffer who was engaged to be married. It took less than a half-hour after news of the shooting first hit Twitter for the progressive left to lay the mass shooting at the feet of the Tea Parties and Sarah Palin. Their information was wrong, their reasoning specious, and their speech so packed with vitriol that it could have eaten a gaping hole in the internet. It is crystal clear that Loughner was neither a product of the political right or the left and the attempt to cram him into a Tea Party-shaped hole of blame is shameful and those who attempted to slander millions of good Americans should be shunned without pity. For my part, I will say a couple extra prayers for Rep. Giffords and the others injured by Loughner’s insane rampage today. I will also ask the Almighty to hold the families of the murdered especially close for the next few days and give them as much of his grace and peace as they need. So should we all, I’d say.

If I had to have a fetish, I’d rather it was for the Constitution than for a mountain of court decisions full of airy language and little else. Britain is learning one of the hard truths about alternative energy — it doesn’t always work when you most need it. Let’s hope we take instruction from their misery. In Obama’s America, our government kills dissent. In Putin’s Russia, dissent kills you! Why are the citizens of New York paying SEIU executives to work for their union and not for the Sanitation Department that hired them? (via Instapundit) House GOP members have filed a bill to get rid of the President’s Czars. I’d like to see a lot more of this. The more bills the GOP files to hassle and harry Democrats, the less energy and will they will have to fight the GOP on the repeal of Obamacare, budget reduction, and tax reform. (via memeorandum) I want one of these TARDIS iPod docks the very day they are available for sale. If you all loved me, you’d make that happen, wouldn’t you? The director of the first-ever commercial spaceport in New Mexico has resigned. He cited political pressure from the state’s new Republican Governor, though it appears that the Governor is still behind the project as a mostly private concern and not a big government project.
