Signs The Writer Knows Their Subject
I just received my copy of Republican Gomorrah and cracked it open (after doing the usual book binding break-in thing…you all do this with the new books you get…right…?). The book is subtitled: Inside the movement that shattered the party. It purports to be about how the religious right subverted, then dominated republican party politics.
Opening it to the page after the dedications page, I came across this quote…
The great difference between people in this world is not between the rich and the poor
or the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences in this world is between the ones
that have had or have pleasure in love and those that haven’t and hadn’t any pleasure in love,
but just watched it with envy, sick envy.
–Tennessee Williams, Sweet Bird of Youth, Act I
I expect the author Max Blumenthal, understands his subject completely…

Bruce-
I hope you’re feeling better than you were on Oct. 6. Don’t make us start worrying you’ve done something drastic!

So you wouldn’t let me react to your latest post. Honey, it made me sad, and I can tell you are sad. PLEASE get out some! You aren’t gonna find new friends/lovers sitting at home. Please, Bruce, please. Do some service work. Join a gay hiking club. SOMETHING!!!! You need some adventure, some juice, something beyond the safe walls of house and work and Disney.
You are a treasure, and you’re hiding. And you need friends who actually do CARE, and don’t blow you off. You deserve that, because you rock! About a thousand {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} — but I think you need to get laid, too. Oh, yes! And soon……

And yes, I break my books in properly. Even paperbacks! <3
