* We got so busy this week with session that I forgot to post anything about US Sen. Mark Kirk’s dramatic return to the Capitol. Sorry about that.

Here is NBC’s video of Sen. Kirk walking up the Capitol steps. Inspiring…

All political affiliations aside, I am happy to see Sen. Kirk back. He’s made remarkable progress from his stroke. Truly inspiring to see him walk up those steps.

Thrilling and an inspiration to all (both sides of the aisle). Hooray!

If I were in his shoes, I’m not sure how comfortable I would feel having the nation witness this moment. “Lot of guts” is right.

One step at a time. Keep going. Good example for all of us.

Inspiring for sure. I am so proud of Senator Kirk for his courage and determination to overcome. He is someone IL can be proud to call theirs!

Truly amazing. Way to go Senator!

Awe-inspiring. I expect he’ll be a U.S. Senator from the Land of Lincoln now, barring something he’d do that’d be unexpectedly catastrophic (hardly likely) for as long as he wants now…just pick your number of terms, Mr. Kirk…
