Michael Walsh just posted something on NRO that has revitalized my will to fight.

Former President George H. W. Bush Battling High Fever (Updated: Bush in ICU)
Uh-oh. This does not look good for the 88-year old gentleman from Texas.
Internet Politics Is For Wusses
Politics may have been better, or at least more real before the internet.
Before the internet, if you had a poster or flyer of some other thing to hand out, you actually had to had them printed up, and then actually had to have people hand them out, or put them up.
Red States Give More To Charity Than Blue States
I know lefties like to claim they’re charitable, but they’re mostly charitable with other people’s money — i.e. tax money. There’s a study out now that shows that conservatives and Republicans (they’re not the same) are far more charitable with their own money than lefties are.
Want To Support Chick-Fil-A, But Don’t Have One Near You? Here’s An Idea
I know I haven’t waded into the whole Chick-Fil-A thing yet, largely because I’ve still been dealing with some personal stuff, but this should help those — like me — who think this good company is being unfairly vilified for an answer to a question in an interview.
Change! Former Obama Campaign Co-Chair, CBC Member Leaves Democratic Party
I’ve been writing a lot about Obama chasing off more centrist Democrat voters with his radical lefty agenda, but who knew he’d be chasing off former elected officials from his own party?
NC Democratic Party Executive Director Resigns Amid Sexual Harassment Scandal
Yet another Democrat resignation under a cloud of suspicion:
The executive director of the N.C. Democratic Party resigned Sunday as calls for his ouster mounted amid questions regarding a secret agreement to pay a former staffer to keep quiet about sexual harassment allegations.
“Moderate” Democrat Calls For Cheney’s Execution
Just to show how “moderate” a “moderate” Democrat really is (emphasis in original):
Rep. Chuck Kruger (D-Thomaston), the Democrat chair of the Maine legislature’s Moderate Caucus, used his Twitter account to express his view that former Vice President Dick Cheney should be executed. This comment has led some to question the validity of Kruger’s moderate credentials.
Kruger made the statement through his Twitter account this past summer, saying, “Cheney deserves same final end he gave Saddam. Hope there are cell cams,” a reference to technology that would allow Kruger to watch the proposed execution of the former Vice President of the United States.
Barone’s Wisconsin GOP Recall Post-Mortem
The always-analytical Michael Barone looks at the results from the 6 elections to recall GOP state senators in Wisconsin, and runs some numbers. Here’s what he sees:
My conclusion: these results show Republicans about as strong as they were in 2010, when Republican Scott Walker was elected governor by a 52%-46% margin, and they show Democrats weaker than they were in 2008, when Barack Obama carried Wisconsin 56%-42%. That was my conclusion as well when I compared Barack Obama’s 2011 Gallup job approval in the 50 states with the popular vote for the House in 2010.
Tennessee Democrat Needs To Find A Sense Of Humor
Maybe he could take some of his legislator’s salary and buy one, because he sure doesn’t have one now.
KNOXVILLE – Breath mints packaged in a tin can poking fun at President Barack Obama have been pulled from the shelves at the University of Tennessee bookstore after local legislator Joe Armstrong told store officials he was offended by the mints.
