My first thought was exactly that; hope for the sake of the gullible that it hasn't been too long since his latest medical expense funding drive.

My second thought was to wonder if he'd gotten tired of being kicked around so much lately.

I've got to disagree with you about Sullivan. I read his blog at the beginning and found some useful items in it. Over time, he has become increasingly shrill and far too willing to label anybody who disagrees with him a "bigot." Very tiresome.

He has, in the past few months, become virtually unreadable. The whining about gays, particularly from a man born to class and wealth, is foolishness. It would be best if he closed up shop completely and went home.

There are a couple of third-person RSS feeds for Sullivan - very useful now to find the rare occasion there is a new post. The one I use is (via Wizbang): http://www.paperlined.org/rss/feeds/andrewsullivan.rss
Or you can do a Goggle search for others.

As for Sullivan, his was the first political blog I ever read, having seen his URL at the bottom of the screen on a CSPAN appearance long ago. Maybe during his time off he'll learn to drive and visit red America outside the major cities and universities.

One of the main reasons I don't read Sully anymore is his lack of an RSS feed. My blog reading is so heavily RSS-centered that I just don't get to any blogs that don't show up in Sage. (Except Lileks.)

He should've run another pledge drive before doing this hiatus. Afterall, that was what he did last August when he took a whole month off.
