Bleg!

Posted by MGK Published in David Suzuki Says You're Bad, Law Skool, Shameless Begging, The Miscellaneous Sciences And Crap Like That

Does anybody have a good site for information about potential oceanic methane sequestration technologies? Google-fu is failing me, and I’m looking at it as a potential topic for a law school research paper (specifically implementation of same on a global level and interactions with the law-of-the-sea treaties).

Tubal Dilemma!

Posted by MGK Published in The Internets, TV

My weekly TV column is up at Torontoist. Now I have to decide whether I will be liveblogging the Canadian federal election debate or the US vice-presidential debate, as they are on at the same time. Decisions, decisions!

MGK Liveblogs The First Presidential Debate

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

8:39: I really shouldn’t be watching this on CNN, but they have so many gadgets. A countdown clock! A group of undecided voters! (Who, interestingly, think Obama will win the debate 70-30 before it even starts, thus rendering “undecided voter” even closer than ever to “dumbass.”) A group of “analysts” who will score McCain and […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: The Untouchables

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

Sometimes you don’t hit that sweet spot right off the bat. Such is the case here with the Untouchables, who were originally known as the “Intangibles,” and who wore super-spacey-futurey outfits. This made them generic and boring, which is not where you want to go with a supervillainous team of Kitty Pryde wannabes. And so […]

“When they bend over, that’s when you begin fucking.”

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

John McCain wants to postpone this Friday’s debate on foreign policy, supposedly because he wants to concentrate on the economy. (What McCain would actually do is really kind of hard to say, but hey, that’s his excuse.) Five ways the Obama campaign can respond without appearing ungentlemanly in a “McCain wants to work to solve […]

You’re Going Sadly Unrecognized In Certain Quarters, Charlie Brown

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Strippery

I was recently looking through scans_daily, and came across this post, wherein various posters debated the merits of Peanuts. One noteworthy poster claimed it was nowhere near as good as either Calvin and Hobbes or Dilbert. (Frigging Dilbert!) People. Listen. This is not something I generally say, because I recognize there are many artistic works […]

The most random panel in comic book history.

From The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis #34. Never try to start reading a Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comic halfway through. It will only lead to sorrow.

Explaining Hollywood, Part Six

Posted by MGK Published in Bad Comedy, Explaining Hollywood, Flicks

SCENE: A STUDIO BIGWIG and his three JUNIOR EXECUTIVES sit at a table. BIGWIG: We have had a very good run of late, haven’t we? I was amazed, One, that you managed to pull back the entire cast of the original The Fast and the Furious to make a sequel to The Fast And The […]
