A YouTube video by Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner has just been released by his school. In it, Loughner leads the viewer on a bizarre, first-person tour of Pima Community College, which he calls his 'genocide school.'
Thanks for participating, Kelsey Hawkes, but another ex-girlfriend of Tucson shooter Jared Loughner, Ashley Figueroa, has emerged on television. Figueroa also dated Loughner in high school, and she brings the dirt: "I think he's faking everything."
Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot point-blank in the head six days ago, keeps making ridiculous progress in her recovery. She's still in critical condition, but doctors' expectations keep rising.
As we learned earlier, everyone wasn't happy with last night's memorial service for the victims of the Arizona shooting. And by "everyone," I mean Fox News. Tonight, Jon Stewart knocked down the network's ridiculous criticism of the event. Watch inside.
Insufferable talk radio blowhard Laura Ingraham graced Bill O'Reilly with her appearance on tonight's Factor for a chat about President Obama's speech at last night's post-shooting memorial in Tucson, Arizona. Her thoughts? It was a shameless "campaign rally." Watch inside.

Congressional security sent a memo to all House members today outlining a three-step response guide for encounters with gunmen: "run, hide, and if all else fails, attack," as Politico summarizes. Why does the fun response have to be last?
Democratic Sen. Mark Udall wants members of the two parties to sit together at the State of the Union, as a sign of Unity. That sounds harmless enough! Meaning it's probably too naive.
Where was Speaker John Boehner last night? He wasn't at the president's memorial service in Tucson. And breathless reports are claiming he wanted to hobnob at an RNC cocktail party instead. That monster! But maybe there's more to it.
A new face from the Jared Loughner universe has emerged. Kelsey Hawkes was Loughner's girlfriend six years ago. How was Jared then, Kelsey? Great! His parents? Great! Any violent tendencies? None. Jared Loughner was a real Casanova. Video inside.
Oh look, it's a billboard for Rush Limbaugh featuring a bunch of bullet holes. This billboard is located in Tucson, Arizona. We blame the liberal media, somehow.
We should thank delightful Rep. Louie Gohmert, in a way, for bringing this post-Tucson spree of hastily conceived legislative proposals to its natural conclusion: He's drafting a bill that allows members of Congress to carry guns on the House floor.
Westboro Baptist Church members won't protest murdered 9-year-old Christina Green's funeral, after all.
In her response to accusations her violent rhetoric was connected to Jared Loughner's shooting spree, Sarah Palin claimed that media figures had manufactured a "blood libel" against her. How would the Anti-Defamation League, the Jewish civil rights group, take this?
Arizona's government is fast-tracking a bill today that would make it illegal to protest or picket within 300 feet of funerals. It's a direct response to the Westboro Baptist idiots' plan to protest murdered 9-year-old Christina Green's funeral on Thursday.
New York Rep. Peter King is considering introducing the latest piece of hasty gun legislation after Saturday's shooting spree: Making it illegal to carry a gun within 1,000 feet of government officials. Everyone else can fend for themselves.
A CBS poll finds that 57% of Americans find no connection between "heated political rhetoric" and the Tucson massacre, compared to 32% who do. But this contradicts what frenzied tweeters were typing minutes after the shooting! How can this be?
Dr. Peter Rhee, the surgeon treating Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, says he's "100 percent" certain now that she'll survive and "very optimistic" that it won't be in any sort of vegetative state. Peter Rhee: Best surgeon ever, or just top ten?
It's been two days since Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and more than a dozen others were shot in Arizona by Jared Lee Loughner. Here's a round-up of some of the news that's come out on the first workday since the incident.
