Why doesn't anyone shoot insurance executives?
Because for now there is unemployment benefits, welfare and medicaid. But keep whittling away at those and who knows how the poor unwashed masses will respond.

It's about 4 hrs after the event and the hospital reports are
that Rep. Giffords is out of surgery and is still alive.

Of course the talking heads are putting a political spin on this,
but since it's an "on-going investigation" the LE people
are less than satisfying in what they are willing to say.

So, maybe it's immigration politics, or an premeditated attack on a federal judge,
or maybe it's a simple robbery gone wrong. I don't know.

Whatever the motivations, the political gurus are already making the most of it to their own ends.
