As part of a general review of pre-1995 convictions won by her office, using DNA evidence, she discovered that David Brian Sutherlin wasn't really guilty of the rape for which he spent 17 years in jail. The New York Times... TBD by Jim jglauner 2003-12-30T12:51:36-05:00 http://www.oculus.com/cringefactor/archives/000144.html We love to get e-mail here at Cringe Factor. I especially liked the one from Jason Goodfriend, in response to my "The Worst Songs of All Time" piece. (Oddly, he does not seem to have the makings of a good friend. Perhaps a name change is in order, Jason!) His... tima 2003-12-30T12:51:36-05:00 http://www.oculus.com/cringefactor/archives/000141.html Part of this is a piece I posted to a message board in a fit of self-generated pique during a particularly lackadaisical workday. The topic was “Worst Songs of All Time,” and these are as fine candidates as any of 1,000 others. "Drinking in L.A." - Bran Van 3000 --...

Although Bob Mould's solo records generally get good press and critical acclaim, let's face it -- they range from mediocre to medi-suck. The Sugar...

I didn’t believe in God, and whaddaya know, the guy’s for real. He really is an old bearded white cat in a flowing robe and sandals with a hippie son who has holes in his hands and feet you could drop a quarter through.

The title of his spoken word album is proof enough: Misplaced Messiah.

I must have been missing something. But as I reread the melancholy tripe, I realized the joke was on me for reading it more than once.
