I was worried about Gabrielle Giffords return to Congress. I imagined she’d eventually get the same treatment that Harrison Ford’s character got in Regarding Henry when he returned to the law firm after a devastating head injury from a robbery.
Human nature (especially in Washington, D.C.) is at best unpredictable and at worst, vicious as hell.
Meanwhile, I wish Gabby and her husband all the best.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona says on her Facebook page she intends to resign from Congress this week to concentrate on recovering from wounds suffered in an assassination attempt a little more than a year ago.
According to officials in Washington, her resignation is expected to take effect on Monday.
The Democratic congresswoman was shot in the head last January as she was meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson, Ariz. While her recovery has seemed remarkable, she says on Facebook she has more work to do to recover, and it is best from her state if she resigns her seat in the House.
Her shooting prompted an agonizing national debate about super-charged rhetoric in political campaigns.
