Not much good news. And at one point Saturday afternoon Fox News was the first media source to report that Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District had died in Saturday’s shootings. Other outlets followed. Many of us–who had turned off the news eventually—went through Saturday (and possibly Sunday) thinking that Giffords, 40, had not survived. She’s alive. E.g., BBC and LA Times. There are optimistic reports on her recovery. Tough girl. We already knew you were talented, interesting and brave. Hang in there, Gabby (and husband Mark Kelly). Fight.
