Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes is investigating the death of a 2-week-old boy at Maimonides Medical Center last September. The baby contracted herpes from a ritual circumcision where the mouth is used to remove blood.
At what point does “religious freedom” become “allowing people to do crazy dangerous shit”? I’d say this counts as a practice that’s...

The paper said the couple used to quarrel over their unhappy sex life because Qi had long, bacteria-infested foreskin that gave her vaginal infections.
That’s it for me today, internet!

“What I haven’t heard,” Kelly said later, “is any solution to the violence problem in these communities. People are upset about being stopped, yet what is the answer? What have you said about how we stop this violence?”
“What do leaders of the communities of color say?” Kelly said. “What is their tactic and strategy to get guns off the street? Don’t tell me ‘a gun buy-back...

Animal rights group In Defense of Animals asserts that around 800 racehorses continue to die every year due to injuries suffered on the track. More than 3,000 other horses injure themselves to the point that they can’t complete their races. The fact is this: Horse racing is an inherently dangerous sport, and it always has been.

Fellow bearded coworker Cord Jefferson even claimed to signal his own personality faults with the untidiness of his beard. “To be honest, my beard is a bit patchy, and it’s definitely unkempt,” he told me. “I’d imagine beards are good litmus tests in that they immediately let potential suitors know, ‘Hey, sometimes I’m sloppy like this with my face.

I’d read, edit, or conduct an interview with Bono in which he discusses why so little of the money from his ONE campaign goes to actual charity, or how he can rationalize supporting the poor while also going out of his way to dodge taxes in Ireland. But to get that kind of honesty and openness from a celebrity you need more than 10 minutes, and you need to be Barbara Walters or Matt Lauer,...
