Politics, guns, homeschooling for the gifted, scuba, hunting, farming and somewhat coherent occasional ranting from your average Buckeye State journalist/dad/farmer/actor.

Right name for the job

From the Department Of Making Sure The Guy Has The Right Name For The Job:

Scientists have found that circumcision cuts (pun intended) a man’s chance of contracting HIV by 60 percent. Enter our intrepid World Health Organization lackey (pun realized belatedly) tasked with commenting on the study…going from relative obscurity to eternal glory in the blink of an eye. From the story:

"This is an extraordinary development," said Dr. Kevin de Cock, director of the World Health Organization's AIDS department. "Circumcision is the most potent intervention in HIV prevention that has been described. (emphasis added)"

It’s a good thing his parents didn’t name him Richard or Benjamin!
