"It’s not every day that a sitting president takes cues from a sex columnist who once licked Gary Bauer’s doorknob."
~ Benjamin Dueholm on Dan Savage

A great line from an excellent article about this generation's answer to Ann Landers.

I consider Dan Savage to be one of my gurus/heros. In particular, I think his book about marriage, "The Commitment", should be mandatory pre-marital reading for everyone.

Another great line from the article:

"In ways that his frequent interlocutors on the Christian right wouldn’t expect, Savage has probably done more to uphold conventional families than many counselors who are unwilling to engage so frankly with modern sexual mores. “A successful marriage is basically an endless cycle of wrongs committed, apologies offered, and forgiveness granted,” he advised one very uptight spouse, “all leavened by the occasional orgasm.”"
