The brilliance of Mr. Fish! I really need to start including him in my cartoon roundups.
His take on Obama v. Wright is especially trenchant.
I’m not necessarily saying that I absolutely agree with the cartoon’s comically reductive expression of certain religious beliefs, but its portrayal of the double standard regarding what’s considered fair game for criticism […]

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 […]

This is just sublime.

In fact, I have no choice but to haul out the Oh Snap Flowchart:

Schadenfreudian Hillarity
Posted by Ocelopotamus on April 8th, 2008 at 2:41 am
In case you haven’t seen any of these yet, my pals at Schadenfreude (who I love despite the fact that they terrify me sometimes) are doing a good job of capturing the current logic of the Hillary campaign in video.
These are turning up all over Greater Blogistania and one of the other installments in […]

The Money Power: Clinton, Edwards, and Obama at Yearly Kos
Posted by Ocelopotamus on August 5th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
From a story in the Washington Post on the Yearly Kos convention taking place in Chicago this weekend…
I can’t believe Hillary actually said this out loud.
Clinton came under attack for declining to join former senator John Edwards (N.C.), who is quite popular with bloggers, and Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in pledging not to take […]

Notes on Sicko: A Prescription for Change
Posted by Ocelopotamus on July 6th, 2007 at 4:06 am
I saw Sicko Tuesday night, and it did not disappoint. The main impact for me is this: Watching this film makes it unavoidably clear that we as a nation have been completely duped, conned, and as the kids say, “pwned,” by those who’ve spent millions to convince us that universal healthcare is too expensive, can’t […]

POLITICS: In “Hillary’s Labor Problem,” Joe Conason points out that Hillary Clinton’s top political strategist, Mark Penn, is the CEO of a union-busting law firm. “Having started in a tiny, two-man polling operation in a New York City mayoral campaign, he is now the CEO of Burson-Marsteller Inc., one of the planet’s largest P.R. shops, […]

“People Like Hillary”
Posted by Ocelopotamus on June 10th, 2007 at 2:30 pm
A big part of the reason I dread the idea of Hillary becoming the Democratic nominee is that during her time in the White House, she never won a single battle with the right wing in the eyes of the media.
Whether the subject was healthcare, how to raise children, baking cookies, Tammy Wynette, or […]

COMICS: For once I’m starting out with the comics section, in honor of the fact that Salon has added Opus by the mighty Berkeley Breathed (Bloom County, Outland) to their repertoire. Oh, happy day. Here’s the first installment. Along with my favorites This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow and Tom the Dancing Bug […]

The Invisible Front Runner in the Living Room
Posted by Ocelopotamus on April 11th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Despite the ongoing media narrative that the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination is a two-person race between Hillary and Obama, the latest Rassmussen poll shows Edwards beating every single Republican contender by at least six points.
Let me say that again. John Edwards currently beats all Republican contenders by at least six points in […]

Bush thinks he has the right to “attach conditions” to the Supreme Court’s ruling on greenhouse gases.
Bush also said China and India must get on board the international effort to combat global warming.
“Unless there is an accord with China,” he said, “China will produce greenhouse gases that will offset anything we do in a brief […]

News: Wear Sunscreen

Worldwide, the winter of 2006-2007 has been the warmest since record keeping began in 1880, according to a new government report.
A variety of desperate schemes to save the planet from global warming are being considered by NASA and other organizations — including a man-made volcano that spews sulfur into the atmosphere; a “sun shade” […]
