Killing us softly

By Dan O'Connell · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

The Department of Justice “drone memo” published by NBC last week chills me. The memo says the government can kill one of its own citizens without due process if he is a “senior, operational leader” of al-Qaeda or an associated group, poses an “imminent threat” to the United States and the kill order is given by an “informed, high-level official of the U.S. government.”

Fighting on the internet

By Allison Stone · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

As fruitless as online arguments and rants may be, this domain serves as a great equalizer. We crouch behind a layer of pseudo-anonymity, and with a wealth of information just a search bar away, there’s no way we can’t find something, anything, to back us up.

Darwin Deez: Songs for Imaginative People

By Bari Finkel · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

At first listen, an audience could hear the rhythm and voice of Deez and dance the entire album in sheer bliss. But upon further inspection, his bright music is darkened by his personal and often angry lyrics.

A critic's job isn't easy

By Brandon Cook · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

As described by food critic in the film, “Ratatouille,” “The work of a critic is easy. We risk very little.” This is not true. As soon as the critic has achieved some level of reader agreement he is immediately unsafe, on the firing squad. One false step, one bad opinion where it counts, will destroy his reliability.

Feb. 14 is fast approaching. With it comes one of my favorite holidays: National Ferris Wheel Day. This special holiday commemorates the birthday of the inventor of the Ferris wheel, George Washington Ferris, Jr. So go, enjoy the wonders that these magnificent wheels in the sky have to offer.

Side Effects

By Dane McDonald · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

What begins as a quiet drama rapidly boils into a menacingly suspenseful thriller, twisting and turning with a Hitchcock-ian  precision.

Why you and I suck at gay 'dating'

By Francisco Tirado · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

There are some patterns and protocols that permeate gay male etiquette that need acknowledgment and should be called into question. In the light of Valentine’s Day, I want to shed light on some of these anomalies.

Grouper: The Man Who Died In His Boat

By Patrick Beane · Thursday, Feb. 14,2013 12 a.m.

The tracks on “The Man Who Died In His Boat” were recorded after midnight during the same sessions as “Dead Deer,” and the album has a similarly sleepy sound. The songs can be short and sweet, but most head for space, like a retreat into memory or dreams to better deal with waking life.
