Advantages to spaying or neutering your pet
Al's older male dog Rocky was having problems defecating. He would assume the posture to have a bowel movement and produce a small amount of fecal material topped with a showing of blood. Why the blood? Straining to push the fecal material past his enlarged prostate caused tiny rectal blood vessels to rupture! He was suffering from Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy. More commonly known as an enlarged prostate. You see Al never had his dog neutered. Testosterone, produced by his testicles, made Rocky's prostate enlarge. Men with an enlarged prostate have difficulty urinating. Dogs, because of their anatomy, have problems defecating. In humans, the tube that takes the urine from the bladder to the outside world passes through the center of the prostate. A slightly enlarged prostate causes the lumen of the tube to be diminished.

[Sullivan has nothing on you in the suck up dept.--ed No, he was really good. I still think his so-called "strong defense" of neoliberalism was ridiculously constrained and condescending, especially compared to Yglesias'.] ...
