  • The focus is red wine and to get right to it without distraction, click The Wine Commonsewer Speaks. The rest of the enchilada is just enough of an eclectic mix of commentary on culture, food, tax, and econ 101 to distract from the focus on red wine.

    We appreciate your patronage.

Everything You Know Is Wrong

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

Brave New World, Boys.......

Scientists in Israel have demonstrated that it is possible to fabricate DNA evidence, undermining the credibility of what has been considered the gold standard of proof in criminal cases.

The scientists fabricated blood and saliva samples containing DNA from a person other than the donor of the blood and saliva. They also showed that if they had access to a DNA profile in a database, they could construct a sample of DNA to match that profile without obtaining any tissue from that person.

No more fingerprints lifted from a crystal wine goblet with Scotch tape and planted in the blood spattered kitchen, we can simply engineer the entire crime scene from scratch.

Sounds like the plot to TWC's definitive American novel, eh?


Whole thing here.

Oh, Bonus:


Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a drink.

As Always,

TWC
