About Andrew Sullivan
 Sullivan was born in a small town in England. He stresses in his blog that he's neutral and just tries to give the facts. Being from England, he legitimately does have that neutral mindset needed when it comes to American political issues.

 In the summer of 1986 he applied for internships at the New York Times, National Review and The New Republic. He eventually got a PhD in Political Science from Harvard.

 There are some ads on the site, but it's not overloaded. Most of the ads are actually promoting The Atlantic Magazine. For example, people have the option of buying 12 issues for $2.45 per copy through the blog site.

Images
 There aren't a whole lot of pictures used in the blog, but when they are used, it's usually an emotional type of a picture. This helps keep the site toned down and puts more emphasis on the real important issues.
