Saturday Night Open Thread

By Jeralyn

Questions and more conflicting reports on the Arizona shootings. Did the shooter have help? Authorities are searching for a white male in his fifties. Did Judge Roll just stop to say hello to Rep. Giffords while he was shopping at Safeway, or had he planned to be there? News organizations provide different accounts.

Jared Loughner's last message on My Space today:

"Goodbye friends. Please don't be mad at me. The literacy rate is below 5%. I haven't talked to one person who is literate. I want to make it out alive. The longest war in the history of the United States. Goodbye. I'm saddened with the current currency and job employment. I had a bully at school. Thank you. P.S. --plead the fifth!"

Here's an open thread for late-breaking news on the Arizona shootings, and all other topics.

Update: I was wondering if Saturday Night Live would mention the shootings or have a more subdued tone. No to both, so far. Jim Carrey is host. (Musical group was the Black Keys, not the Black Crowes.)

Also, Showtime is having a free weekend for Comcast subscribers. A new series starts tomorrow night you can watch now for free. It's called Shameless, and I think it's going to be a big hit. The first episode is really good.
