Daily Ungrumble

If you haven’t been following Andrew Sullivan on the crisis in Iran, you are missing some of the most astounding blogging seen since the medium was invented. His coverage has been exhaustive, contemplative, and nothing short of Pulitzer-worthy, in my opinion. It’s a bit daunting just as a reader to follow his dozens of Iran updates a day, and while …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“Here we are, in the summer of 2009, with gay servicemembers still being fired for the fact of their orientation. Here we are, with marriage rights spreading through the country and world and a president who cannot bring himself even to acknowledge these breakthroughs in civil rights, and having no plan in any distant future to do anything about it …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“We lost the Prop 8 battle because we ran a dreadful campaign run by the usual craven Human Rights Campaign cowards and incompetents. We deserved to lose. We do not deserve to get a do-over via court power. There are some interesting legal and constitutional arguments here that are not as easily dismissed as George [Will] might like. But as …

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

On “Christianists”

I’ve gotten a number of emails inquiring and/or complaining about my use of the word “Christianists” to describe the Christian right. The word’s origin is not, as some have suggested, a portmanteau of “Christian” and “activist”, although that seems a logical conclusion. If I recall correctly, I first saw the term in a 2006 article by Andrew Sullivan in TIME. …

Andrew Sullivan On Sarah Palin

Andrew Sullivan appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday to rip apart the Palin candidacy. “She is a farce. It is a joke. It is absurd. It is something [McCain’s pick] that should dismissed out of hand as the most irresponsible act any candidate has any made.”

Whither Andrew Sullivan?

“This blog [Sullivan’s] has long described the useless organization called the Human Rights Campaign as a tool of the Hillary Clinton campaign. But the scale of the group’s enmeshment with the Clintons is revealed by Michael Petrelis’s research into the campaign contributions of all its major figures. “The final tally? Drum roll: Hillary Clinton: $4,300, Chris Dodd: $3,000, John Edwards: …
