I became aware of Sullivan somewhat before the 2008 election, when he sometimes appeared to be a "thoughtful" conservative. I'm sorry to admit that it took me six or eight months of intermittent reading to realize that he is a well-educated jackass.

according to Rush, all those gheyz created the feminazis and that led to the Holocaust, which was really a conspiracy to enslave all the scientists and brainwash them into advocating global warming to make Al Gore rich. So the holocaust is really Al Gore's fault...

If Andrew Sullivan is your "See! I have gay friends!" card, then, man, you are in trouble!

Ok ok ok, lets unwind this thing.

Gayness affects Keynes' ideas, making them questionable.

Niall Ferguson has a gay Andrew Sullivan read things at his wedding.

Therefore, Niall Ferguson is a gay racist, because his marriage to a Somali woman is questionable.

I think I've got it! HARVARD SMART!

I keep getting error messages (503, service unavailable -- twice today). Following the link on the error box, they've installed something called Varnish, which claims to be a "web application accelerator". It sounds as if it may be acting as a brake instead.

Oh. People still use it that way?

That's gay.
