One of the problems with Dr. Strange comics over the past few years decades is that his villains suck. They shouldn’t suck, but what inevitably happens is that they get into a magic duel with Dr. Strange and, because he is the protagonist, he kicks their ass. Well, to this I say no more. Shuma-Gorath […]

The gods of Ancient Egypt have been mostly very quiet for practically the entirety of Marvel comics history. With the exception of Seth, the Egyptian god of death, they’ve almost entirely been content to sit back and let the other pantheons do the heavy lifting in the Marvel universe. Which, if you think about it, […]

“Like House, but with wizards.” That’s always been one of my favorite single-sentence ideas for a Dr. Strange series. The problem, of course, is that in the Marvel Universe right now there is a distinct… shortage of sorcerers, wizards, mages and so forth. The Scarlet Witch is crazy and/or depowered, and even before that she […]

Okay, Glenn Beck is a crazy dumbass, we all knew that. But, notwithstanding the suggestion that G20 protestors and anti-taxation “Tea Partiers” are on the same wavelength despite not having anything in ideological common with one another at all except that they are displeased by something their governments are doing – seriously, each side’s likely […]

Dworkin was right: all interspecies sex is rape! I long for the day this is not true and the sheep are finally treated as equals! — Al

Ezra Levant on George Galloway’s being barred from entering Canada: Good friends, and friends of freedom of speech say I’m not being consistent — that I should be for Galloway’s right to be wrong. I am; I don’t think he should be arrested for being a racist, terrorist-loving buffoon. I think he should be arrested […]

I have decided that I am gonna start up my own life-hacking website, wherein I will teach people to do things in different ways than they previously did them! (I am not doing this to raise funds to change my name because I am afraid of Steven Seagal. We have chatted, and he is cool. […]

What’s the best “rescue” moment in an action movie? The moment when the hero is absolutely fucked, completely about to get killed/ass-kicked/etc. by the villains in violent manner, and then suddenly his friend/ally shows up, fighting ensues, and the hero is (for the moment) saved? My vote goes to The Crow, when Eric Draven is […]
