Sandra Bullock adopts black baby and gives him a bris. This is one of the more surprising headlines, though it actually happened months ago.

"He's just perfect," exclaims Sandra, quoted in tomorrow's edition of People Magazine. "He's wonderful."

I like Sandra Bullock as much as the next one, and those are beautiful words to hear from any mother, but am I the only one raising eyebrows?

He's perfect and the first thing that you do is to give the boy a bris? That's not exactly Miss Congeniality talking here. There's nothing to indicate in Sandra's history that either she or her beautiful new baby is of Jewish descent, so why a ceremony that is distinctly Jewish and painful for a baby, especially if he's older than 8 days.

Then there's the little question of the man with whom she adopted the baby, a certain Mr. Jesse -- Her erstwhile husband. A man whose motorcycle company logo looks suspiciously like the German Iron Cross -- a man whose one of several mistresses paraded (and he too) in Nazi memorabilia and swastikaed armbands?

The adoption and the bris happened before the news leaked out about his indiscretions, so by her own account, he was at the bris.
