Cal Thomas interviews Virginia's governor-elect Bob McDonnell:

Q. I want to ask you the Katie Couric/Sarah Palin question with a twist. What do you read for information and inspiration? A. Information. I read a series of daily news clips, the Richmond Times Dispatch, a lot of Internet searches. I look at the major papers of record: The Post, the Virginia Pilot and Roanoke Times, as well as a couple of conservative journalists. They give me a pretty good flavor of what 85 percent of the people in Virginia are reading. The Weekly Standard is one. Inspiration? I read the Bible and books like "The Greatest Generation" by Tom Brokaw and I'm starting on "The Shack."

Of course, you can read THE WEEKLY STANDARD for inspiration, too.
