Don't like the man, never did--but you're right. This custom is also common in the Philippines, where relatives kiss the genitalia of male and female toddlers for some reason. It is completely normal and expected of them, over there.

Was it Robert Heinlein that wrote about rubbing blue mud in your bellybutton with gusto if that is the local custom?

Thanks for the post.

I don't know why I am so irate about this. I have ZERO love for Webb, too, but I REALLY want to see the republican party behave with intelligence, grace and dignity more than anything else.

Apparently it takes a big leap to be a true conservative AND see the innocence of Webb's passage. You and I passed the test-- let's hope others follow.
