Like anyone else who has a heart, mine goes out to all of the innocent victims of this weekend's human tragedy in Arizona. Yet somehow as a parent, I personally cannot help but focus on the utterly tragic loss of Christina Taylor Green, an innocent nine-year-old girl born on September 11, 2001 who simply wanted to see how our government works up close. At times like this, all Americans -- including all of us who gather here -- ought to reflect on the toxic tone of our national conversation and ask ourselves a larger question -- what's going on?

1. Good list... I'm glad he included Cat Stevens' Peace Train...

and that's all I'm going to say about that (!)

I'd like to think something good might come from this beautiful young child's death, just as her life undoubtedly inspired so many. So sad and I can not bear that her life have been taken in vain.
