1.) How to kill yourself in one easy step — Go to Slater’s 50/50 and buy the bacon burger. Justin Green reports for TheDC:

“Bacon fans worldwide can now rejoice at the announcement that Slater’s 50/50 —  a California restaurant chain known for featuring a burger consisting of 50 percent bacon and 50 percent beef – has taken the bacon burger to new heights. The aptly named ‘Merica Burger is 100 percent ground bacon and is served with (among other ingredients) bacon-flavored cheese, bacon-flavored dressing and, of course, a slice of bacon.”

Who was demanding this? Seriously. Who? Let us know so we can go over to their house and punch them in the face. Or give them an award. One of the two. Just not sure which right now.

2.) Walsh your mouth — Republican Rep. Joe Walsh is catching some flak on the campaign trail, reports TheDC’s Alexis Levinson:

“Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh came under attack for controversial comments he made Sunday, when he attacked his opponent Tammy Duckworth, a military veteran and double amputee, for politicizing her military service … In a speech on Sunday, Walsh praised Sen. John McCain, saying that he had repeatedly shrugged off pressure from his advisers to speak about his military career on the campaign. When he finally did, Walsh said, it was clear that it was not a topic he was comfortable discussing publicly. ‘That’s what’s so noble about our heroes,’ Walsh said. ‘Now I’m running against a woman who — I mean, my God — that’s all she talks about.'”

It’s possible — just possible — that this may not be the most well thought through message to be campaigning on. Perhaps Walsh might want to think this one through a second time. And a third time if he comes to the same conclusion.

3.) Defining innovation downTheDC’s Caroline May reports on a congressman who we should hope never becomes Secretary of Education:

“Indiana Democratic Rep. Andre Carson claimed in late May that America’s schools should be modeled after Islamic madrassas in video that recently surfaced. ‘America will never tap into educational innovation and ingenuity without looking at the model that we have in our madrassas, in our schools, where innovation is encouraged, where the foundation is the Quran,’ Carson said in the speech. ‘And that model that we are pushing in some of our schools meets the multiple needs of students.'”

Yes, because when you think of innovation, you immediately think of madrassas, right? And when you think of modernity, how can you not think of societies founded on the Quran? Saudi Arabia, for instance, is just booming with … with … with …. nothing but oil.

4.) Just hanging around —If you’re a Politico reporter who wants to discuss your latest shitburger, Joe Williams is still on staff to talk things through, reports TheDC’s Alex Pappas:

“Politico’s White House correspondent Joe Williams is on his way out the door. But the reporter who found himself ousted from his job — after making a penis joke about the Romneys, accusing his own publication of ‘blatant racism’ and saying the Republican nominee for president is much more comfortable around ‘white folks’ — isn’t technically gone yet. In fact, he’s still employed with the company and is still using his company email.

5.) Poll of the Day: Florida remains close — WeAskAmerica poll of Florida voters: President Obama 46%, Mitt Romney 45%.

6.) Tweet of Yesterday daveweigel: Could have used this info YESTERDAY RT @Slate: What really happens when you are bitten by a radioactive spider?

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
