Op/Ed Piece: A few words on the shootings in Tucson

I know I said I wouldn't have any political rants in this blog and that's still true. What happened yesterday in Tucson, though, transcends daily politics and opens our eyes to the dangers of political discourse running amok or shutting down.

I'd like to share a wonderful insight with you from probably an unlikely source: Peter King's Monday Morning QB column. Scroll to the bottom of the webpage and look for the subject line above that section. And pray for the victims, people out there over the weekend just trying to do the right thing for public service:
