And isn't it MUCH more uplifting than the last eagle flying video that I posted?

Gonna be a big day tomorrow for these two.
Get a good night sleep President and Mrs. Obama. It is quite likely that the NEXT four years will be just as challenging as the LAST four years.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz reads Gabby Giffords resignation letter.
There is more from the LA Times:
Lawmakers quickly enveloped Giffords as she arrived in the House chamber Wednesday morning, one at a time shaking her hand or kissing her cheek. She was escorted by her closest friend in the chamber, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Giffords' mother, Gloria, watched from the House gallery along with retired astronaut Mark Kelly, Giffords' husband.
The chamber was mostly full, and staff members ringed the back rows.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi began a series of bipartisan tributes to Giffords, calling her "the brightest star that Congress has ever seen."
"She has brought the word dignity to new heights by her courage," Pelosi said. "Congresswoman Giffords' message of bipartisanship and civility is one that all in Washington and in the nation should honor and emulate."
"While Gabby may be leaving Washington today, I know this won't be the last we see of her tomorrow," said Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the majority leader.
At one point, Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) told Giffords, "We have missed you." Giffords, turned backward to see her colleague, replied: "And I miss you."
The legislation on which Giffords cast her final vote would give the Homeland Security Department greater ability to go after ultralight planes believed to be smuggling narcotics from Mexico into the United States.
It passed unanimously.
I watched this earlier this morning with watery eyes and a godawful lump in my throat. It was absolutely amazing to witness the incredible outpouring of love and support that Gabby inspires in her fellow members of Congress, and for one brief moment politics were put aside as these Congressmen and women dropped their defenses and allowed their humanity to shine. Truly an inspiring sight.
And to demonstrate respect for that ideal I will not engage in any partisan sniping or mention the person behind the one moment of rage that I always feel when I see this brave woman struggling to stand, or walk, or move her now useless arm.
But that does not mean I have forgotten, nor does it mean I have forgiven.

You Tube viral video of the day: Gay Dads Learn They Are About To Be Grandparents.
I worried about posting this because of attracting some homophobic comments, but their joy is just SO infectious that I decided to take the risk.
Besides my daughter insisted that I put it up. So you know how that goes.
By the way let me point out to all of the homophobes out there who seem to believe that "teh gay" is contagious, and spread from one homosexual to a heterosexual like the common cold.
Clearly these two gay gentleman raised their child with love, acceptance, and a constant exposure to their alternative lifestyle. Yet despite all of that they still grew up to be a "breeder."
Clearly this whole "gay agenda" thing has a few bugs yet to be worked out.
