A little sampler platter for you, my pretties …
First up, a brilliant post by Hunter on Daily Kos:
Things I have learned during this campaign season:
In a race that includes a former First Lady of the United States and a multimillionaire Republican senator rumored to share up to eight residences with his wife, the black guy […]

Best. Protest. Ever.

Brilliant. Just brilliant. Watch Abu Gonzales get completely pwned by some students.
Today I’m thankful that, despite the best efforts of Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, and the rest of their horde, there are still young people in the world who are able to pierce the veil of truthiness and do stuff like this. […]

The War on Halloween, Anderson Cooper, and Keith Olbermann’s O’Reilly Defense Initiative
Posted by Ocelopotamus on October 22nd, 2007 at 11:58 pm
Here’s a little video roundup to keep you entertained while I try to scrape together the time to post something more substantial.
First off, Mr. Colbert points out the enormous black-and-orange elephant in the living room … the War on Halloween! That’s not going to be very popular in the candy corn belt.
He really enjoyed […]

Video of the Week
Posted by Ocelopotamus on September 24th, 2007 at 12:30 am
In case you missed it, Keith Olbermann was on fire this week. His special comment was possibly the most powerful I’ve seen him deliver. And his ultimate point about the sacred dividing line between the civilian leadership and the military is one that needs to be heard more often — too many people don’t seem […]

Olbermann on O’Reilly, Colbert on Huckabee, and Stewart on Kristol
Posted by Ocelopotamus on August 17th, 2007 at 2:09 pm
Keith Olbermann explains why Bill O’Reilly is no less than two of the three worst people in the world. (Hint: It includes defaming someone as being anti-semitic … who was actually attacking anti-semitism!)
I Stomach Huckabee: Colbert on the Iowa straw poll. Oh, and watch for the moment when the Governor threatens to break Stephen’s other […]

Bridge to the 21st Century
Posted by Ocelopotamus on August 6th, 2007 at 3:17 am
Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow say pretty much what I’ve been wanting to say about the Minneapolis bridge collapse story.
I hate to say it, but I feel like we’ve just had a “welcome to the 21st century” kind of moment, and this isn’t going to be the last time this kind of preventable disaster […]

Video Roundup: Colbert, Stewart, and Olbermann
Posted by Ocelopotamus on July 20th, 2007 at 11:53 am
First up, Stephen interviews Michael Moore … all the way from Brazil!
Next, Jon Stewart’s take on anti-gay Surgeon General nominee James Holsinger, in which he manages to reveal some surprising truths inherent in plumbing fixtures. (I previously posted Colbert’s take on Holsinger’s fixture fixation, but Stewart gets some good mileage out of it, too.)
Finally, […]
