I’m starting to worry that Ocelopotamus has become like that stock old-man character from sitcoms and things, who falls asleep for a while and then wakes up sputtering and tries to pick the conversation up wherever it was five minutes ago, as if no time has passed.
On the other hand, it’s heartening that I […]

Video: Fox’s War Drums, Colbert’s Water Fight, and Stewart on Bush’s Magical History Tour
Posted by Ocelopotamus on August 26th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
A few video clips from the past week: First up, here’s a scary video compiled by documentarian Robert Greenwald showing how Fox “News” is beating the drum for war with Iran … watch them repeatedly engaging in the same kind of propaganda and scaremongering they used during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in […]

Roundup: Fantasy History Edition
Posted by Ocelopotamus on August 23rd, 2007 at 3:29 pm
Bush has suddenly decided that the Iraq occupation is kinda like Vietnam after all, but of course he’s careful to draw the wrong conclusions from the comparison. The article quotes American University historian Allan Lichtman as saying that Bush’s spin on the situation “is not revisionist history. It is fantasy history.”
On a related note, […]

NYC Fire Fighters vs. Giuliani
Posted by Ocelopotamus on July 12th, 2007 at 10:17 am
Speaking of unions … here’s what the New York fire fighters’ union has to say about Rudy Giuliani.
It’s a little slow to get going, but if you take a few minutes to watch the whole thing, it’s pretty damning. Rudy really made some incredibly bad decisions. For example, I hadn’t known about him deciding to […]

Roundup: Magnum Opus Edition
Posted by Ocelopotamus on June 4th, 2007 at 7:18 am
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 […]

Rescued! (by DKos and Akismet)
Posted by Ocelopotamus on May 19th, 2007 at 3:34 am
Hey! As I just noted in an update to my NY Ferrets Against Giuliani entry from Thursday, I cross-posted it as a diary over at Daily Kos, and it made the Friday Night Diary Rescue list! Not too shabby for only my second diary over there.
Also, regular commenters may have noticed that the comment delay […]

NYC Ferrets Against Giuliani
Posted by Ocelopotamus on May 17th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
Some ferrets talk smack about Rudy G:
There was a time when I used to buy the line that ferrets don’t make good pets, before I’d ever gotten to know any. But in recent years my sister has had a couple of ferrets and they’ve been wonderful companion animals — friendly, happy, gentle, and very strongly […]
