Democratic Hegemony Into the Future – OFA 2.0

During the election, I was a Volunteer Team Leader in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. When I was recruited to do this, one of the things that intrigued me and got my attention most was the very deliberate focus on not only assembling a grassroots network to elect Barack Obama but to keep this network in place AFTER the election. […]

US Healthcare Policy Squelches Entrepreneurship

Watching the phenomenal success of my wife’s Photo Mosaic Poster of Barack Obama has me thinking a LOT these days about the nature of entrepreneurship and how it truly is a significant engine of economic prosperity in this country. Small start-up companies, single-owner businesses and other fledgling enterprises, when they are successful, spread their success like ripples in a pond. […]

Mr. E: BadLuck SchepRock

After managing to navigate a big time blizzard and a massive ice storm over the holidays in my snazzy new car without any serious incidents, I pulled out of my driveway this morning & 10 seconds later a school bus full of kids plowed into me and smashed up the front left side of my car. It’s now in the […]

It’s Not That We Didn’t Already Know This

It’s just hard to see it there in black and white (and blue.) There was once a time when Man stood proudly at the top of the food chain. That time has passed. Now, fueled by a black and terrible desire for brains, Zombiekind has consolidated its power and cemented its supremacy. Surely, this is a black time for humanity. […]

Mrs. E on the Radio

WJR is the biggest news/talk radio station in Michigan and has a powerful signal that stretches across the Midwest. Mrs. E did an interview with Warren Pierce on Monday morning during the Paul W. Smith show. Doing a 6-minute interview at 7:15 a.m. which is prime drive-time for the morning commute in the Detroit area is A-OK. You can listen […]

Guess What Santa Got Me?

Guess What Santa Got Me?

One of these: We just re-upped with Sprint but positively hate our new phones and the service where we live is ridiculously bad. Since Mrs. E is running her business out the house, this just isn’t workable for us. We’ll probably end up taking a bit of bath on it initially getting out of our contract but once we combine […]

Please Don’t Divorce…

Please Don’t Divorce…

There’s a positively spectacular photo slideshow over at Flickr called “Please Don’t Divorce…”. Click the photo below to have a look. It really puts a human face on the love between couples that is being legislated by the small-minded people in our society. Marriage between consenting adults should not be banned on the basis of sexual orientation. A society benefits […]

Ben Franklin’s Glass Armonica

Just saw this over at TYWKIWDBI (“Things you wouldn’t know if we didn’t blog it”), my latest must-visit-daily blog. It’s a glass armonica played by someone dressed as Ben Franklin and very good at it. The glass armonica operates on the same principle as making a wine glass sing by rubbing a wetted finger around the rim. Benjamin Franklin mounted […]

EclectaChristmas Wishes

Merry Christmas to my blogworld friends. Here’s my gift to you. It’s a YouTube of our family last year, playing Christmas carols. I’m the bald, goateed douchebag playing the mandolin (as opposed to the bald, goateed douchebag playing the sax, that’s my bro-in-law). It’s not good. You were warned. I’m just sayin’…
