More List Defending

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

No Who’s Who this week, because my home PC with Photoshop does not have net access yet. Instead, a few points about some of the more contentious characters on the list (man, it seems like this entire week has been about one lousy article in Wizard): Molly O’Reilly over Molly Hayes. Runaways Molly is cute […]

This week from me at The Court: brief commentary on the Supreme Court’s decision in R. v. J.H.S., a case about the necessity of preserving the principle of “beyond reasonable doubt” in the jury instruction process in criminal trials, and what that necessity requires.

Oh no! Sharp, pointy danger!

Uh, no.

Posted by MGK Published in Politics

Digby was one of the very first blogs I ever started reading on the interwoobs – incisive, intelligent, observant and often darkly funny.

I think the thing that has most exacerbated the fervent Clinton supporters’ frustration, and frankly […]

MGK Versus Wizard’s Top 200 Comics Characters Of All Time List, Part One

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

So Wizard Magazine – yes, that Wizard Magazine – recently published their “top 200 characters of all time” list. The only reason I know this is because I got emails and comments in large numbers asking me for my take on this. (God knows why. I mean, I’m not Scott McCloud or anything.) My take, […]
