Andrew Sullivan
Any president can start a war, and use the chaos of disorder that such a war creates as an indefinite argument for prolonging it. It's a war that keeps on giving. Failure means it's even more necessary to keep failing.
Andrew Sullivan
The first person I came out to was God. And the first conversation I ever had with anybody was in prayer.
Andrew Sullivan
