*** "You're a donut eater ... and you will rot in Hell."

(Via Florida Cracker)


*** Question: If a questionably talented street performer subjects me to primal caterwauling on my way into the subway, can I take some money out of his guitar case?


*** Scott Kirwin at Dean's World highlights early failures of the UN ceasefire in Lebanon, as well as two competing reviews of Israel's performance in the latest crisis.

The positive review by Strategy Page notes that Israel's agreement to ceasefire demands has merely granted the UN measure a chance to fail because of non-compliance, thus earning Israel greater political and moral authority to prosecute a future conflict. In a world that made just a bit more sense, I'd agree with this assessment. Unfortunately, the strategy has a failing precedent in UN Security Council Resolution 1441.


*** Possible causes of dementia include Alzheimer's disease, stroke, hyperthyroidism, B12 deficiency, brain trauma, alcoholism and pretty much any condition that causes inflammation to the brain. Andrew Sullivan assumes that Goldstein was referring to AIDS-related dementia in a critique of Sullivan's bizarre conspiracy-mongering about the veracity of the disrupted UK terror plot. Perhaps that's not a totally wild assumption, given that Sullivan is quite open about having AIDS, and dementia is a listed side effect of HIV infection or treatment, if not one that's commonly known. Goldstein says that he didn't mean it as a specific commentary on Sullivan's condition, nor, by contextual implication in Sullivan's rebuttal, as a homophobic attack.

Personally knowing Goldstein and his limited awareness of most details beyond his kid, his blog, 70's cinema and the bottomless saucers of corn chips, beer and red pills on his living room coffee table, I'm fairly certain that he's not lying. For the record.

Also for the record, while I've long found Sullivan's reasoning increasingly politicized and personal, it's only within the last 8 months or so that I've actually found it wacky.* Further cases in point, Sullivan's armchair (and hypocritical) analyses of Bush as a dry-drunk, and his labeling mild-mannered Karol Sheinan['s post about torture] "deranged." Can a reasonable person strongly disagree with Karol's position? Sure. Is it deranged? Nah.

* To be clear, my assessment of Sullivan's judgment as wacky has nothing to do with assumptions or intimations about any underlying medical conditions. Which is giving him more latitude than Sullivan grants Bush regarding alcoholism.

One really does have to wonder what it must be like to be Andrew Sullivan.

Who is this Andrew Sullivan? His name rings a bell, I think he may once have been important; but then, polyester leisure suits were once popular.

Posted by: rbj at August 17, 2006 01:27 PM

Dementia really might explain it.

Posted by: Dean Esmay [TypeKey Profile Page] at August 19, 2006 02:34 PM

Why is a discussion of Andrew Sullivan's obvious AIDS-related dementia off the table?

The man has always suffered a severe case of narcissistic personality disorder -- don't we all? -- but something's different. He's got AIDS. He's demented. Y'think the two might be related?

In all honesty, I don't understand why intelligent analysts and bloggers (e.g., Michael Barone -- you don't get much more serious and sober than that) take seriously Sullivan's lunatic ramblings. It's as if there's a perpetual roundtable discussion for your Crazy Aunt Tillie's senile/Tourette's shouts and ramblings. The man is seriously sick and dying and people are analyzing his remarks as if there being made by a healthy person.

Come. On.

Not knowing the man, much less being his physician, you cannot determine the state of Andrew Sullivan's health and how it is affecting his judgment.
