Congratulations, Antlers! You just made the Album of the Decade!

I've heard some amazing music the last nine years, but "Hospice," by Antlers, is by far the best. A concept album about an abusive terminal cancer patient and her caregiver/boyfriend (According to the review.. I haven't quite grasped that on my own..) isn't a real fun pretext for music, but everything; every note, every second.. is perfect. Too heavy on the compliments? Not to me. Listen for yourself( Lala is located in the blue box to the right of the review. Hit "Play all" for the full experience..). Love it or hate it, you won't be able to be objective about it..

I've heard this album once, immediately ordered it, and have thought about it continuously for the last 24 hours. The level of creativity this group manifests is staggering. I'm now a fan. A true, ardent, over the top fan of Antlers. Thanks in advance for the amazing hours I'll spend with your work. I can't wait.

From The Onion, of course..

Glen Beck waves goodbye to the last remaining bit of his soul..

He's not awful because he (now) spouts Libertarian gibberish on Fox, it's the massive hypocrisy of having the script change on him, and him not missing a beat.. From a lickspittle NeoCon to New Libertarian Hope and No One Noticed! I've lost A LOT of respect for Ron Paul, who, in the course of the last two years, has been loony-tized, then deified by the likes of Beck. Paul could have easily called Beck on his hypocrisy, but hasn't. While I'd like to believe that Ron Paul is Above The Fray when it comes to Beck, a part of me now believes that Ron Paul is No Better Than The Others.. -BUT- How Ron Paul deals with Beck's douchebaggery is not in question. Beck's douchebaggery, though, is.

He reads scripts for lots and lots of money. He doesn't care what he says on camera. He doesn't care who he hurts, or what consequences might come from his actions. His cold and greedy heart has overwhelmed his underdeveloped conscience.

And that's why he's awful. And that makes me sad.

Kevin Martin predicts possible Cape Cod hit by Bill..

Dependent on that pesky western High that's baking the west and keeping Missouri/East cool and wetwetwet. If it doesn't move easterly fast enough to send Bill north when predicted, Bill just might slam into Cape Cod..

I've written about Kevin before, so I'll post his forecast just to see how accurate he is compared to these guys.. If his hurricane predictions are anything like his other severe weather forecasts, my money's on Kevin..

"Without obtaining any tissue from that person."

I guess DNA can lie, after all.. So, what about all those cases(past/present/future) whose decisions all hinge(d) on DNA evidence? Will DNA Evidence-decided trials have to be re-reviewed? If so, would our legal system gridlock nationally.. almost overnight?

And what of Forensic Science? Will the industry react and establish new criteria and methods for determination of authentic DNA? How sophisticated will the technological upgrade have to meet the new set of "acceptable standards?" How much will it cost nationally?

The cynical bastard in me says that none of this will happen. The industry will continue to preach the "Infallible DNA" line right up to the bitter end. Sad. I would really like to be wrong about this, but I don't think I am..

The scariest implication of DNA fabrication is "corruption of evidence." "Corruption" is an alteration or fabrication of forensic material in order to produce suspicion in any desired direction, by creator of said material. In other words: If "they" (whoever "they" may be)want you, they'll get you. And they can create the proof to prove your guilt. And that "you?" Could be anyone, including..

Yeah? Now how do you feel?
