    That's not what they say when they raise tuition.

    The article also states this:

    That said, Figueroa admits that, when she last saw Loughner three or four months ago, he was a “different person” than the boy she dated as a teen.

    If Loughner is schizophrenic, she may very well have missed the onset, as well as the mental deterioration that followed.

    It would be a lot easier to get worked up about Boehner "skipping" the memorial service if there had actually been one last night instead of a pep rally or whatever the hell that was.

    The University of Arizona embarrassed itself on national TV last night.

    And I do not fault the President or his staff for that.

    Boehner may have not done anything wrong.

    But he didn't do the right thing.

    Completely agree. And I thought Obama was excellent.

    Imagine how good we could all make ourselves feel if this kind of thing happened more often.

    I think it's inevitable and understandable that they cheered so much.

    The City's been under a lot of stress. Yes, they wanted to mourn, but they also wanted to celebrate -- celebrate the heroic actions of some and the lives of those that passed.

    I think thousands of students had no idea what the hell a memorial service was...

    Go to Arizona to the memorial service.

    So, who would have led the House session honoring Giffords, and her aide who was killed?
