Wash Post with the update… Tucson – The surgeon who operated on Arizona Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said he was “optimistic” she would recover from being shot in the head by a man with a semi-automatic weapon outside a grocery store. Reports are that 6 people have died, including a 9 year old girl. Tweet
I think it’s pretty clear that the shooting of Dem Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords earlier today by Jared Lee Loughner was politically motivated. Watch the videos he made. The first deals with his twisted, nearly incomprehensible thoughts on currency and government control… The second reveals a lot more. Apparently he is (or was) a military recruit [...]
In a surprise move, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has announced she is resigning, effective July 26th. She claims that because she is not running for re-election, she doesn’t want to be a lame duck and subject herself to politics as usual. Odd excuse. Either some scandal is about to break or Palin has decided that [...]
His name is Scott Roeder and it looks like he’s involved with Operation Rescue in some way. Obviously that doesn’t mean they’re to blame, but if you convince your followers that somebody is a mass murderer and is doing it legally…you think something bad might happen? Here’s the comment he left at Operation Rescue’s site, [...]
From the description of the car in the earlier post, it’s not surprising that a suspect has been rounded up so quickly. From KansasCity.com: A suspect in the fatal shooting today of Wichita abortion provider George Tiller is in custody in Johnson County.

Brent Allred said they were looking for a blue Ford Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. He said the car was registered to an owner in Merriam. Police described the shooter as [...]
In one of the more, forgive me, torturous staffing processes, it looks like Barack Obama has finally settled on the last major appointment he had left to make, that of CIA director. Given that the Bush administration has done so much long-term, institutional damage to our intelligence superstructure, basic tenets of human rights and the [...]
Some surprising news today, especially since Richardson was so often mentioned as a possible VP pick: A Democratic official says New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has withdrawn his nomination to be President-elect Barack Obama’s commerce secretary. He cited a pending investigation into a company that has done business with his state as the reason, NBC [...]
Philadelphia is shaping up to be a key city in a key battleground state in this election, but machine problems and long lines may plague the polling stations and voter disenfranchisement will be a serious risk. Unfortunately for voters, the people charged with running a smooth election in Philly seem surprisingly unconcerned. Philly’s veritable election czar, Marge Tartaglione (D), in particular, shocked ANP with her comments at a recent hearing. See more videos at http://americannewsproject.com
Illinois business man and political fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko was found guilty today on 16 of 24 counts including fraud and money laundering.
