Gotta tell you that the first time I read the quote, I thought it read "two white male writers fighting over something that can't be circumsized" rather than "circumscribed".
Somehow it still made sense, the fighting, the ownership, the..(crossing my legs here and contorting my face in pain)...circumcision.

Yes, that is my laughter you hear echoing down from the Great White North.
