Now at this point in my life—I was 27, same age as OtherKurt—I think I had only ever discussed my negative feelings. Anyway, I didn't know how to respond to this consumeri...

Spokesdog Ladybug debunks the hygiene argument. Good news. I tracked down a copy of Ed Wallerstein's book, Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy. I guess it's just as well I didn't find it right away. I got a lot of positive feedback about my digression into the events surrounding Disco Demolition Night. So Steve moved around, but I alw...

I've always been more of a glam rocker. This was going to be an in-depth analysis of Ed Wallerstein's book Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy. But it appears that the only copy of it at my library has been misshelved. Therefore this will be a post about the death of Disco. Then the cops just started busting people for no reason at...

There are a lot of misconceptions about circumcision. This blog addresses one: "He'll never know what he's missing.". Sunday, July 31, 2011. Part 24, The Jews. A fortuitous library book sale find.

We all had to do reports on the states. You know, pick a state, and write a report about it. Any state you wanted. Sounds like a great project, right? There had to be a catch, right? Yeah, you got that right. No writing about California. Makes sense, right? That was our home state. So that’s what I did. What a gl...
