Foreskin's Lament
This is an interesting video/excerpt from a book written by Shalom Auslander titled, "Foreskin's Lament: A Memoir"

http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m3AGPSBC9UUC4D

The book is a humorous dialogue with the abusive ultra orthodox God. His observations about his Jewish orthodox upbringing, and his subsequent neuroses are funny (actually sad if you really think about it).

1. I thought it might be a new band or song (in a minor key)

2. I thought it was about the evils of betting on golf.

3. Shalom Auslander is a regular contributor to "This American Life."
I've heard his essays often, and will probably pick up the book. Thanks for the tip.
