The world doesn’t always suck! Two tidbits to brighten your day:

• Glenn Beck is leaving Fox News, in a move that is claimed to be amicable but is probably more due to the fact that his show loses money for the network.

• In one of those very important elections, the race between liberal challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg and conservative ass David Prosser for the Wisconsin supreme court is currently too close to call, but Kloppenburg leads. This would have been no contest a month or so ago, but it’s now widely viewed as a referendum on the union-bustin’ Governor Walker.
