On America Is Country of Foreskin!
So as medial associations in countries with socialized medicine (Canada, Australia, UK, for example) recommend against circumcision, the American Academy of Pediatrics is, in the words of a member of its task force on circumcision, "likely to adopt a more encouraging stance than its current neutral position". Does anyone actually find this unexpected?

On Understudies! How 'Spring Awakening' Changed the Business of Musical Theater
I watched Spring Awakening one night after viewing Curtains. If I ever needed reassurance that the art of musical theatre was not dead, that it could still be vibrant and affecting and transcendent, it was after watching that skeleton named Curtains.
Also, thank you for introducing me to Jonathan Groff, and reminding me why Duncan Sheik was one of my favourite pop artists of the 90s.
I just need to echo "Yes" to everything said by this article. Even the Bat Boy comment.

On 'The Time Traveler's Wife' Will Make You Cry
Apparently in the novel, the teenage protagonist has sex with a slightly younger teenage version of himself. This, I would pay to see, especially if it involved Eric Bana.

On A Primer for the Coastal Elite: What Do The Tea Party Folks Want?
I feel like I should apologize, the uneducated line was a crude way to make a self-deprecating point. "Blue-collar" would have been a better word choice.
We, on the left, can sometimes fall into the trap of dismissing anyone who doesn't have a liberal arts college education or a creative-class job in a coastal state as a member of this blind, discontented tea party mass of individuals. It makes it harder for our supporters who do not fit in our social norm to self-identify, and really, it's stupid on our part, especially when we need to present ourselves as a party of inclusiveness.
Good luck on the dating front. I'm sure the women* of North Dakota will eventually open their eyes.
