Get a grip, folks. It's just a damn foreskin. For centuries, men have grown up with and without one. It doesn't make a man a better lover, more expressive, more violent, less healthy, or have whiter teeth. I've grown up without one, and I was not abused or a victim of violence. I have don't deep-seated emotional issues because I was circumsised. If you're judging a man, or his parents, on his foreskin or lack thereof, then you're not seeing the forest for the trees. What other issues will you use to prejudge someone?

What's next? A web site listing doctors who perform circumcision? A blockade of hospitals who perform the procedure? A slate of anti-circumcision political candidates? The tone of many of these messages is downright frightening, and nothing will make me suspicious of any message is the overdramatization of it.

Oh man, I have to do my shopping at Saks, or Hooters, or some place like that just so I can piss off the perpetually pissed off crowd.

I've become so disillusioned with so many of the articles and interviews posted on Salon. It's as if too many of the writers or interviewers insert themselves into what they're writing instead of letting their subject be interesting in itself. This was an excellent example of the type of content I used to find on Salon and would like to find some more. It's an article where the interviewee takes us to a place most of us have never been and lets us peek inside his or her world. Whatever you think of Richard Stratton and his actions, this article was educational and entertaining with the interviewer asking the right questions to move it along without making himself part of the interview.

The boyfriend has gotten an important lesson that any continuing relationship with this woman will entail her father who's competing for upper class jerk of the year.

More evidence of Salon's new path towards feminist political correctness, anti-sex, anti-nudity, anti-fun, superiority complex. I remember when Salon used to be fun to read instead of lecturing us about their new dogma.

It's about time Salon got back to business for the type of articles it made it's name with. Journalism is supposed to expose necessary and nefarious activities of any power, whether business or governmental, that threatens to undermine the rules that bind our society together. Other newspapers and magazines are willing to allow the government to sweep this under the rug and charge only the low-level soldiers involved, which does the country as a hole an injustice.

Why does ESPN have a hard on for Barry Bonds? They show us every at-bat and every comment he makes, and constantly tell us how he is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. So is A-Rod, who will likely break all of Bonds' records by the time he retires, but we don't get all A-Rod all the time.

I wish ESPN would realize there's a whole lot more to baseball than Barry Bonds.

Wow. Four pages about a anti-feminism book that will be read only by those who are already converted and three pages about Whitney Houston. Must have been a slow news day.

When Art Modell kidnapped the Browns franchise and moved it to Baltimore, my reaction was to hate the Ravens, and I still despise them. I'll root for any other team to beat them and I hope they go 0-16 every year.

I tried rooting for the Bengals, but they were too pathetic then to give any energy to. I admired the Steelers, even though they were the Browns archrival, since they're a class organization that consistently does well. Mostly, I stopped caring about football.

Now that the Browns are back and pretty pathetic themselves, I have more enthusiasm for football, but like most fair weather fans, I still want to be entertained by my favorite team, not left shaking my head in disappointment at their creative or boring ways to lose.

If I can rephrase this article in one sentence, it might be:

If you keep an emotional distance with your spouse, the sex can be exciting because it's like sex with a stranger.

Celebrities getting married is not news. Celebrities getting divorced is not news. Celebrities having babies is not news. Interviews with low-talent wannabes who would be on nobody's radar if they weren't married to a celebrity is not news.

There are untold artists of all persuasions who have unique and interesting viewpoints and who can partake in an intellectual discourse eloquently enough to be entertaining and thought-provoking. But Kevin Federline? Just who are you pandering to?

Isn't there anything else happening in the technology world or is the iPhone the epitome of technology and nothing else is worth talking about?

Perhaps the best part of the Barry Bonds circus was that it reminded us of what a class act Hank Aaron is.

Democratic '08 slogan: Republicans want another chance. Right.

Republican '08 slogan: At least you know when we're lying.

Democratic: Republicans want another chance. Right.

Republican: At least you know when we're lying.

I intend to die fat, dumb, and happy. I don't care if the sky is falling.
