In the final episode, the judges and choreographers dance in the big opening routine along with the contestants. And they are good. Honestly, that’s a sort of national character thing right there.

Every Thursday, mightygodking.com returns to the pages of Who’s Who, the classic 1980s DC comic book encyclopedia of their characters. Every week, a character shall be judged on the only scale scientific enough that matters: the Rex The Wonder Dog scale of fantasticosity. I have to admit, I am completely torn this week. On the […]

Another week, another posting from me at The Court – this week is a critique of the recent ruling in Canada v. Khadr, which should be of interest to some of my American audience, seeing as how it concerns a Guantanamo Bay detainee.

Longtime readers will be aware that I am an unabashed fan of the television show So You Think You Can Dance, AKA “American Idol except for dancing instead of singing and also it doesn’t suck,” which has just commenced its fourth American season. It’s a better show than Idol in so many ways. The judges […]

Oddly, the thing that strikes me most about the passing of Robert Asprin is that if you’re looking for a better example to disprove the fallacy that substance abuse can create better writing, you couldn’t find a better example than him: it’s no secret that alcoholism turned his promising career to shit for a good […]
