The Recess Appointment is a Flaw in The Constitution

Triggered by this, let me assert that  ”Recess Appointments” are a flaw in the US Constitution.

50th Anniversary of DR Who is Coming up…

I don’t want a big action adventure episode though. I want talking and story. Make it be a TARDIS only episode. The Doctor is alone on the TARDIS for some reason. The [...]
