I went by and saw Dan Riehl in the Inova Fairfax ICU.
@daveweigel @rsmccain @danriehl is on his left side, oxygen feed in place, labored breathing, unconscious. Left a note.

Dan has worked harder than most (e.g., me) on the effort to tear down the walls of the mainstream media Jericho over the last few years. You have to drop names like that of the late, lamented Andrew Breitbart to name somebody who was working harder on the restoration of the country. Multitudes of folks echo the current news (and don’t stop; we make an important chorus) but Dan was a maker of news. His contacts and investigative skills (of which I had the merest glimmer of insight) allowed him to dig up crucial facts on a host of stories (go see Hating Breitbart for just one example).
Dan is a true leader, mentoring those who will listen, flogging relentlessly those who will not. I’ve no idea what the medical bill will be like for a few days in the Intensive Care Hotel, but it can’t be cheap. My intention is to swing by tomorrow, around noon, after doing some door knocking for the campaign. Hopefully, he’ll be conscious, so that I can take a picture. Do consider his tip jar, as you are able. I’ll have to wait until next week, after the mortgage has cleared, myself.
Oh Lord, pour out some grace on Dan and heal him. Fully. Soon. So that we can gather at Shelly’s Back Room after the election, for all Dan may eschew partaking of the combustibles.
Update: thanks, Instapundit and A Time for Choosing.

Thanks for the update. A good point was made in the comments about someone needing the keys to our sites in case something happens, so everyone who has a trusted blogger friend should consider sharing info. Not only the blog sites, but the twitter accounts too, to protect them.
Will drop something in his Tip Jar, and prayers for his recovery.
Jeez. I am so sorry to see that Dan is so very ill! May God bless, protect and heal him, fully and quickly!
In other news, I am home – still fragile, but home.
Sending prayers your way, Dan!
all of us at Freedom Radio send our love and prayers to Dan Riehl.
Thoughts and prayers today to a true patriot. Thank you so much for your service.
Amen.
Godspeed Dan, You will be in my prayers daily…
Prayers for our Dan! We need you buddy!
Monitor2112, prayers are the best to offer. No one can out give God!
Praying for your fast and complete recovery, Dan.
I am also adding my contribution to the tip jar in your honor. Thank you, sir…and get well very soon, Dan. We need you. You are in our prayers.
I am praying for Dan and his family. Very good man and gentleman. Never met him but have followed his blogging for a long time and twittered back and forth some. I really respect him and his work. Keep the faith, friends.
prayer is the best thing we can give; “Heavenly
Father please bless Dan now and bring him back to us healthy and well, ready to do battle against evil, and help us take back our country, For Your glory and in Christ’s name, amen.

Prayers of health and healing for Dan. I cannot contribute to the tip jar, as I am an unemployed mom of 3 with breast cancer medical bills of my own. But I do know the power of prayer and the miracles it brings, so I’m lifting them up for Dan.

This is the worst time financially for me, as I am moving. But if I can donate a dollar, and everyone who wants to help donates a dollar, that will add up. Finally, THROUGH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. I just wish God would send me an email rather than using life to teach me. But I want to say that trusting God and praying will do the most that can be done.
I just did a stint in the hospital with a heart arrhythmia Quit smoking the next day. It’s been two months now and my last ECG said my heart was good…just mild pulmonary hypertension. (I had been a 2 pk a day smoker for over 35 years.)
Still sending prayers out to Dan.
Prayers!
Whoa! How does something like that happen?
You’ve done more than enough. Surely Dan and his family welcome your prayers.
Dan’s tip jar hit. I’m looking at two ginormous hospital bills–my husband’s recent surgery and my daughter just got out of hospital Thursday–but I scraped a few bucks together for Dan. He is one of the very, very good guys!!!!!
Overworked, under-rested and thinking he was just sick, school clinic thinking he was just “stressed” from mid-terms. Almost lost him. They pulled a ton of fluid from his lung via needle. Keep praying for Dan!
Beautiful.
So glad to hear it, Zilla. Also praying for your full recovery.
Hey…I had the same thing. Well, amost…if you count “stress” as a knife, and “school” as a psychopathic woman twice my age.
Thanks for your service sir. All military are the unsung heroes including you. I cannot add to the jar but I will add a prayer for him. It is all in the Lords hands.
same here.
hoping the prayers help him and his family.
Good to hear Zilla!

Srsly? That’s some kinda story! Why don’t you blog it?
)
19 years old, biker bar, chick fight. Six days in the hospital (for me), twenty years in prison for Gracie (whose son I attended school with).
Alcohol was involved.
…and I did blog it – or at least posted the whole hilarious thing probably twelve years ago. It is quite a story.
Get him to put it on your blog and we can all come visit
Duh! Good idea, Red. Now where’d Joan get to?
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Glory and the Power, Forever and ever.
Please shine your light of mercy and grace upon our friend Daniel Riehl. If it be Thy will please heal him and return him to his friends and family.
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Thank you, Joan. Great job cleaning it up!
And my apologies to Dan Riehl, who really is in my prayers.
Thank you Smitty for being there for my Cousin Dan.
