I would totally download and listen to this... except I'd already planned to head outside to do a little raking to the sweet strains of On the Media.

But later.

I just heard a bit of that episode on the radio! Really disturbing in and of itself, and the law enforcement implications are even worse.

Of course, confessions are subject to neurology, too.
