There Is One Member Of Congress Who Deserves Congratulations Today (Probably The Only One)

Only something extraordinary could have created a bright spot amid the recent dysfunction of Congress.

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' return to the House floor for her first Congressional vote in more than six months was extraordinary.

She's a true woman...

Anything other attempt at a description would trivialize it...

JenEngland said...: I agree. It put into perspective the puffery of so many members of congress, sure that they are of the utmost importance. And here comes Gabby Gifford to show what real courage of convictions looks like. I hope everyone, both sides of the isle, just shut up for a minute to appreciate it, for real.; August 2, 2011 at 9:28 AM
Infinonymous said...: Gabby Giffords exhibited more courage and responsibility than all of the debt ceiling blowhards combined.; August 2, 2011 at 9:32 AM

PROPOSITIONS TERMS
****************
Wagers accepted while proposition posted (until removed); dds may be revised at any time without advance notice; no winner paid without ticket; all bets are action upon acceptance by management. 10% commission deducted from successful wagers
PROPOSITIONS POINTERS
The number expressed after a proposition identifies the line, or ratio by which wagers for that proposition would be paid upon occurrence of the proposed event. A line of 2-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $2 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $3). A line of 1-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $1 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $2). A line of 3-5 indicates that a successful $5 wager would generate a $3 winning (and aggregate payment of $8). The greater the ratio the first number bears to the second, the less likely the proposed event is expected to occur.)
Examples:
99-1 extreme odds; remote probability
15-2 high odds; low probability
1-1 even odds; 50-50 probability
2-15 low odds; high probability
1-99 extreme odds; overwhelming probability
