Probably not that often. But once in a while he says something right on, and that is when I quote him.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090720645937634051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9222643.post-54585641666322254212009-05-02T16:58:00.000-06:002009-05-02T16:58:00.000-06:00Paul, I wish that I loved Andy the way I once did,...Paul, I wish that I loved Andy the way I once did, but he lost me during the run-up to the Iraq War and his support for Bush that lasted far too long after that debacle.<br /><br />Then, too, his moaning and crying about how the Roman Catholic Church and the Republican Party didn't like him and other gay folks, even as he stuck with them, left a sour taste. I've forgiven him, but I can't get enthusiastic about his work, although he writes good pieces now.<br /><br />The Times article on Robin Stephens is awesome. Once again, we're back to, "Does it work?" but the answer is obvious to anyone with a functioning brain.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.com
