[cnn-photo-caption image=http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/02/liveblogfinal.copy.jpg]
Since the shootings in Tuscon last weekend, there's been hand-wringing on all sides about toning down the rhetoric. But has there really been any change in the blame game, the finger-pointing? We're Keeping Them Honest. Plus, new insight on what Jared Loughner did in the hours before the shootings. Randi Kaye will retrace his steps.
Scroll down to join the live chat during the program. It's your chance to share your thoughts on tonight's headlines. Keep in mind, you have a better chance of having your comment get past our moderators if you follow our rules.
Here are some of them:
1) Keep it short (we don't have time to read a "book")
2) Don't write in ALL CAPS (there's no need to yell)
3) Use your real name (first name only is fine)
4) No links
5) Watch your language (keep it G-rated; PG at worst - and that includes $#&*)

This is child abuse. Waxing a child eyebrows? Who knew?

And that is called child abuse... waxing a child's eyebrows
I never have watch that reality show, and I see I am not missing anything.

@Nina,
"both the Democratics and Republicans know how to manipulate."
Exactly!! What I don't get, is that the People seem to be "OK" with being 'manipulated'! Really mind boggling on both ends.
That is not ridiculous, it is child abuse.
all in the name of "beauty" Sad!!
I agree with Pee Wee, love HBO (and HP)
Anderson chain you bike to something anything what can't be moved, (use a good lock and chain though). I have had my bike for twelve years...
Good Night, and good weekend -Everyone-!
All of these moms belong on the Rediculist!
I love that!!!!!! Anderson made me laughs with Pee-Wee Herman interviews so funny!!!!!!! Good job, Anderson!!!!!
Pee Wee was agreat way to end this week!
That was hilarious. Now if only Cooper joined in the dance.
Goodnight.
@Mike, formerly from Syracuse,
I was wondering if there was another plan too, for border security. It's not something that's easing, it is? Do you think that it would have been better if they kept working on the fence until they had another idea? Could it have been improved/saved?
@Jo Ann,
I think that the politicians of the past had respect for one another despite their different political stances. I think that they all knew that they were working for the people, that the people were the boss! Times seem to have changed. I wonder if (all) the people feel like they are the boss of the politicians still, or as if they're an audience getting entertained?
Pee-wee - so sso funny!
The very look of his face makes me smile. And then he talk. ROFL.
I wonder how much of your audience has no idea what The Tequila Dance is...
I can't wait see Piers Morgan starts on Monday night, Cool!!! That will be good interview!!!!Yay! I can count 3 days to go!

"I don’t understand how we don’t have the technology? In my opinion Boeing dropped the ball,"
Just like the Bradley tanks! Yes, it seems to happen often
And the Republicans say nothing about the spending of the taxpayers' money of almost 1 billion dollars?
Are we going to see you dancing, Anderson?
OK, so the Administration scraps the fence, so now what? What is their plan to secure the border?
never saw peewee herman until i was a young adult – i kind of rocked out to "the friendly giant" – they had great music
is the tequila dance kind of like the chicken dance with booze?
I love Pee Wee! I wonder if he brought the "big shoes" with him? I love the Tequila dance!
I don’t understand how we don’t have the technology? In my opinion Boeing dropped the ball,
