In an electrifying moment, President Barack Obama revealed that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who on Saturday was shot point-blank in the head, had opened her eyes for the first time shortly after his hospital visit. (Jan. 12)

We can admit it: A lot of us have dreamt, or at least thought about, what it would be like to sit on the sidelines of the Olympic Games. Now we can sit on the sidelines to watch the gymnasts who captured the world’s attention at the London Games, when the 2012 Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions comes Sept. 14 to Jobing.com Arena in Glendale.

WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will deliver the Pledge of Allegiance at the Democratic National Convention.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A spokeswoman for former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords says she's attending the Democratic National Convention.

Nothing like a little gold to inspire young athletes.

Here we go again, talking out loud about the hair issue. I naively thought that we had done that issue to death, but the roots of the problem seem not to have been adequately addressed. Perhaps a little context will help grasp what’s going on now.

LONDON - She is standing on the medal stand and she is holding a bouquet of pink roses and she is smiling that impossibly great smile.

LONDON -- When reigning world champion Jordyn Wieber failed to qualify for the women's all-around final, the logical assumption was: This is Gabby Douglas' time.

It is quite disappointing that we now have a Senator who on the surface seems to understand the need for Universal Background Checks on Gun Sales. This supposedly good friend of Gabby Giffords then votes against it when it comes up for a Vote in the Senate. Mr. Flake obviously had fallen victim to the NRA who now has over 75 percent of it members in favor of Universal Background Checks. I find it very hypocritical that we have a Senator who shines is his smile of friendship to Gabby Giffords on her relentless campaign to get Gun Control legislation passed. At least to get Universal Background Checks passed. Then to have Mr Flake cave in to the failing NRA Lobbyist. This is a tell tale sign Senator Flake is not caring about what the people want but what the extreme lobbyist want. Shame on Senator Flake. Gabby does not need back stabbing friends like that.

Now I realize why the Democrats and Hollywood have such a close affiliation: It’s all about portraying their acting skills as demonstrated by Mark Kelly, apparently boo-hooing on Gabby Gifford’s shoulder at a gun control demonstration (last week).
