I emailed Countdown with Keith Olbermann (MSNBC) yesterday after my blog entry which I cross-posted at Daily Kos spent the day at the top of the Recommended List. Looks like he liked it: Now, tell me Mark Schauer and the Dems in general are going to use this to stick this “War is Peace/Hate is Love” message right up the […]

This is brilliant. Republican Message Guru Frank Luntz recently sent out a memo to Republicans giving them his assessment of how they should best combat Financial Reform legislation that is being pushed by the Obama administration along with numerous Democrats. Here’s the FAIL: On page 14 of the memo he shows an example picture of a happy couple in front […]

On the heels of his co-sponsorship of one of Rep. Alan Grayson’s “Save Our Democracy” bills, John Conyers, Jr. has signed on to co-file an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to reverse the horrendous Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decision commonly known as the Citizens United decision. Way to go, Representative Conyers! Here’s the amendment language: 111TH CONGRESS2D […]

This. Check out the sneaks: Well, that and the fact that she’s the smartest, wittiest and most insightful political commentator in the country. But those sneaks are pretty awesome, too ;) I’m just sayin’…

Meet Brian Rooney. Brian Rooney is running for the Republican nomination in MI-07 this year. He has only lived in Michigan since 2007 and he recently moved into MI-07 in order to run for this seat. His main Republican opponent, Tim Walberg, doesn’t have much nice to say about him: Walberg questioned if Rooney runs whether he can win over […]

While I don’t agree with him on everything, I appreciate Andrew Sullivan and his outsider’s (British) perspective on American politics. His essay in the Sunday Times this past weekend, titled “Listen up, the president is not for turning” is no exception. And it has some common sense observations that all of us, conservatives and liberals alike, would do well to […]

Surely you know about the most-horrible Westboro Baptist Church and their most-horrible “God Hates Fags” protests. Wanna know how to effectively protest complete morans like this?

I don’t know why I didn’t do this before. Now you can simply type in “www.eclectablog.com” or just “eclectablog.com” and you’ll come here directly. Kinda like a brand and stuff ;) I’m just sayin’…

Here’s Rudy, checking out the Daily Kos. Long-feathered hippy freak. I’m just sayin’…

Anyone who has read my blog in the past year knows I’m one of those who is out front with in support of the president and his administration. This blog entry doesn’t change that. But I am going to acknowledge this: when it comes to messaging, the president has left it to Congressional Democrats and they don’t know what the […]

President Obama met with Republicans today in a Q&A session that was an amazing sight to see. At the last minute, the Obama administration asked that cameras be allowed and we should all thank heavens that happened. Watch this and enjoy. More of this, please. Much, much more. I’m just sayin’…
