Obama is looking good because he kept his nerve and retained his restraint. That's a tough combo: nerve and restraint. It takes a cold-bloodedness to pull this off, and there are times when ice seems to run through the man's veins.
Andrew Sullivan
Even if it's deep unhappiness, it's your unhappiness.

Andrew Sullivan
The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they're called Republicans.
Andrew Sullivan
I think sex is completely absurdly demonized in our culture. But in the end, however much sex you want to have, with however many people in how many ways, to be loved and to love is what human beings really want.
Andrew Sullivan
It's only because you can now watch cheerfully biased Fox News that you begin to realize how cheerlessly biased CNN really is - and always was. Or CBS. Or ABC. Or the BBC.
Andrew Sullivan
It is not an opinion that enhanced interrogation techniques are torture. It is a legal fact. And it is also a legal fact that the president is a war criminal.
Andrew Sullivan
The most successful marriages, gay or straight, even if they begin in romantic love, often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
Andrew Sullivan
I think very few people are gay. I'm a two-percenter myself.
Andrew Sullivan
What I love about the Internet and what I try to do on the issues is insist upon the ability to have bad taste if one wants.
