Andrew Sullivan on C-span Sunday 10/15
« on: October 13, 2006, 11:54:45 pm »
Some (many) of you probably know of the Gay republican Andrew Sullivan. He's on many tv talk shows, political talk shows.

Well, i was watching c-span friday am and they mentioned Andrew Sullivan was going to be on c-span sunday 10/15, I think at 7 or 8pm. (8pm est)
He will be talking about his hiv status. I guess he is hiv+. That really surprised me since I have wondered, and always wonder, how there can be "Gay republicans" in the first place. I know there are, i lived with one for 8 years (looong years) out in San Diego. Actually he's a good guy and a good friend, but I joke.
By the way, Andrew says he is not a republican, but a "conservative" (I guess).

So I was taken back a bit when hearing that Andrew Sullivan is also hiv+.
But he will be on this sunday, just an FYI for anyone interested.

Andrew Sullivan is another HIV+ gay, conservative, wind-bag who loves the sound of his own voice...he would fit in nicely around here. He has spent the better part of the last year apologising for his conservative, party-line positions on the war and other topics. Like the rest of his kind, he prefers to blame it on the "neo-cons" for hijacking the movement. He's about as welcome in the conservative tent as any other deceased ridden homo.

I rest my case...I knew that would bring you out of the woodwork. You are so predictable.

D*A*C*H*S*H*U*N*D

p.s. While I am at it, how's that little war of liberation working out for you? At least Sullivan admits when he is wrong. I wait breathlessly for your invectives... you are too easy.

Getting off subject, with a bit of humor, here’s another youtube I just threw together (just wasting time).

I'm looking forward to the day when Andrew Sullivan gifts Matt Drudge. Maybe Mark Foley will hold Drudgey down while Andy does the deed.

he says the price of HIV drugs is coming down, I was just switched, to a more expensive atripla.
Has anyone found that their drugs are becoming cheaper?
Oh he has a relationship with god!

Yeah I was kind of wondering on that part as well. The pharmacy price of Atripla was almost 1500 bucks. Someone here said on another post that it was a bit cheaper than the sustiva/truvada combo with their insurance. I've still got to come up with nearly 300 bucks a month for it after my insurance kicks in. I'm going to do some searching for prices for these drugs. I'm not certain but I'm guessing we are paying a premium for the abilities of the drug to work as one pill per day rather than taking several every few hours.
