I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

Well written letter. I thought "confirmed bachelor" went out in the 80's.
I've always liked the term "devoted friend" to describe someone's lover, myself.
What was w/ the stupid column in the NYT today trying to parse through whether or not the bible really doesn't like gays? WTF happened to separation of church and state? The bible is NOT everyone's holy book. Just sayin'
The Times doesn't print letters criticizing Itself. That's what the Public Editor is for. See how it works?

How about "companion"? Or "roommate"?

Yeah, except, um, there's Arthur.... Some euphemisms are just a little too, um, euphemistic. It's a species thing.

Hecate, stop dissin' the next Constitution of the United... er, I mean, stop disrespecting the Bible!
how unpatriotic. Why do you hate America?
David needs to correct a typo in the last sentence.
If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.
Anyone seen Passion Fish? Remember Mary alice's gay uncle?
"Reeves has always ben ... literary."
I chuckled when I read that NYT story. I'm glad David E. called them on it.
I always liked "great and good friend." And I thought "bachelor" had to have "confirmed" attached to it to insinuate gaiety, otherwise it was just another guy dodging committment (i.e. Woody Allen in the old days with Mia)?
To be a confirmed bachelor do you have to get confirmed? I mean, do they have a ritual where you pick the name of a saint and the bishop slaps your face and you have to say the creed or something?
You have to intone the words of the immortal Groucho, "I wouldn't belong to a club that would have me as a member."
"THEY SHALL NOT PASS"
actually, i believe mark twain said that, not groucho.
Sorry if I was wrong, I often confuse the great thinkers. I thought Groucho said it about the same time he learned his daughter wasn't allowed in a pool at some club because she was Jewish and he said, "She's only half Jewish, can she go in up to her waist?"
"I've always liked the term "devoted friend" to describe someone's lover, myself."
I prefer fuckbuddy, myself.
Hey Mr. "They Shall Not Pass"; I suppose you know that was the motto of the Spanish Republicans?
Franco *did* pass, alas.
Bad precedent.
I prefer fuckbuddy, myself.
Don't you know it, baby!
Seriously, having been a FB and having enjoyed said position - let's rock with it!
And Kent - Kerry/Edwards in a Landslide!
Well, that explains Desperate Housewives.
I often confuse the great thinkers.
As the Firesign Theatre once said: All hail Marx and Lennon!
Ordinarily, I might think they pointed out Cherry's "bachelorhood" in order to highlight the irony of him creating a series about married women. But then, why not just call him "single?"

Talk about PC.
Sure, the point is he's not married. And wrote about housewives (who are married).
Call him single. Well, he could've been recently divorced.
Bachelor does not equal gay if gay marriage is sanctioned.
Confirmed bachelor also does not equal gay. Unless you read it that way, as in "Why else wouldn't they have ever gotten married?"
Is this the Freep board?
"Cherry, who has never been married...to a housewife...."
OT.. My letter to the editor of my local paper was printed today. I wondered when they would print it, but I guess it was very appropriate to print it on Sunday. I went on a harangue about the USA chanters and the Bible thumpers and how they should be doing everything possible to stop the killing in Iraq because of the 6th commandment: "Thou shalt not kill".
How quaint. Are they calling IT "thingy" these days too?
Oh dear fucking Lord. Talk about PC run amok. With all due respect, get over yourself Mr. Ehrenstein.

Kristof's article? I thought it was an excellent article. It took the conservatives' biggest argument to disallow gay marriage and just bigotry against homosexuality in general and used it against them. Don't know if you've noticed, many Americans (including Democrats) do follow the Bible.
I liked Danny's description of gay brother Jodie on "Soap":"He's a practical joker...with a WONDERFUL sense of humor!" 
The Bible is a compendium of superstitous rubbish.
There is no God.
There is no afterlife
and Adam 4-4-2 is a troll.
Enjoying being able to say that David?
Good letter - and you're absolutely right.
many Americans (including Democrats) do follow the Bible
You mean the Hebrew original... or one of the English (mis)translations?
Read the Old Testament yourself sometime and then say that Americans follow the Bible. People pick and choose what they want to follow, or they let their religious leaders tell them.
LOVE the 'fuckbuddy', David E. And my 'better half' loves it even more - the male mind at work, I suppose!
Great letter - short and to the point.
