From Slate: New York City is urging Jewish parents to stop
letting mohels suck blood from circumcision wounds. The sucking, which is
supposed to clean the wound, reportedly happens 2,000 to 4,000 times a year in
the city. The city acted after several sucked boys got herpes infections, one of
which led to brain damage. Some Orthodox Jews hold the practice sacred and
accuse the city of violating religious freedom. Others say it's about time the
city did something to protect kids from zealots. The city says a ban would be
unenforceable and beyond government's authority, and education is the next best
thing.
Also from Slate Christopher Hitchens (an Atheist Jew) rants:
Jewish babies exposed to herpes in New York, thousands of American children injured for life after the rape and torture they suffered at the hands of a compliant Catholic priesthood, prelates and mullahs outbidding each other in denial of AIDS… it's not just your mental health that is challenged by faith. Anyone who says that this evil deserves legal protection is exactly as guilty as the filthy old men who delight in inflicting it. What a pity that there is no hell.

A recent Question of the
Day over @ THE RAVING ATHEIST: 
If you woke up and found you were God all alone in the universe at the
beginning of time, what would you do? A lot of answers, some that made me
go, "Hmmmm..." - but I most enjoyed this one from a respondent named "June".
god
no plan
no rules
do nothing
go nowhere
being perfect
never got laid
knowing everything
same shit every day
no need to eat or sleep
knowing how it will come out
no point in planning anything
haunted by my past incompetence
like that fucked up solar system
where my idiot son got himself killed
sometimes I wish I could kill myself
it's hard to know I will fail again
but I will fail again and again
being god should be more fun
knowing everything sucks
being perfect sucks
never get laid
go nowhere
do nothing
no rules
no plan

Over at the Last Chance Garage, we turned the key on this 1954 Studebaker Regal Starlight. Those fender skirts may trigger lascivious thoughts. I know they affect ME that way...
