After my Twitter exchange with some fierce anti-gun control zealots earlier this week, in addition to being called a “freedom-hating communist”, I was also accused yet again of being a Nazi: CONSERVATIVE_SWBSW@Dagny_Galt, I see that @Eclectablog is a brown-shirt…openly states he’s an #OFA community organizer…Sad, just sad. #NRA #guncontrol This is not the first time an OFA volunteer has been […]

Yesterday I posted the results of an analysis I did of all 242 Republicans in the US House of Representatives. I looked at the bills & resolutions each of these men and women had sponsored and cosponsored. What I found was that, on average, 46% of the bills any individual sponsored or co-sponsored was related to the partial or complete […]

The Republicans have now been in office two weeks so I thought it was worth taking stock of what they’ve accomplished. I’ve just completed a rather in-depth analysis of the bills and resolutions that all 242 GOP members of Congress (not the Senate) have either sponsored or co-sponsored. What I found was that, on the average, 46% of the bills/resolutions […]

My wife and I were fortunate enough to attend President Obama’s inauguration two years ago today. Her photomosaic poster of Barack Obama, “Out of Many, We Are One” that appeared in TIME magazine had sold well and was being given out as a gift at the Michigan Ball held at the Museum of American Heritage. We also miraculously got tickets […]

Holy crap, are you effing kidding me??? I guess this is the reason I don’t read the Hot Air blog. One of their bloggers actually wrote this about President Obama’s speech at the Tucson memorial last week: [T]he White House wrote the speech, and apparently added “applause” indicators into Obama’s speech that the university put on the Jumbotron in their […]

This is a crucial time to contact your member of Congress regarding the Republican’s attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act. You can do so by clicking HERE. Call them and tell them that you want them to vote against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Need some reasons why? How about because, despite their ridiculous name for the […]

I’ve learned this week that I am, not kidding, a “freedom-hating communist”. Why? Because I have no problem limiting Americans’ right to bear arms. I’m not talking about taking away Americans’ right to bear arms. I’m talking about limiting that right. Sort of along the lines of limiting the right to freedom of expression by making it a crime to […]

I’m guessing we’ll be hearing a lot more of this over the next two years: Back in Ohio, almost everybody says, ‘Oh, you’ve got to cut spending.’ But then they say, ‘Oh, I didn’t know you meant my spending.’“ I hope that attitude bites you on your small-minded little Tea Partier asses. I’m just sayin’…

I love making bread and buy whole wheat flour in 40 pound bags. Unless I get too busy, I make all the bread we eat in our house. Our favorite is whole wheat pita bread which is actually FUN to make! You roll out the loaves into what look like little mini pizza doughs. They go into the oven onto […]

It’s my wife’s birfday today so we’re off to hike with the doggerz and then down to Detroit to the art museum. But, first, an assortment of oddball, silly things I found on the innernetz this morning. Maybe I’ll start a new EclectaFeature with it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~From the “Life Imitates The Onion” Department: Pat Robertson: Snow Is God’s Way of Punishing […]

I generally won’t have anything at all to do with the Democratic Underground. I consider that site to be the liberal equivalent to the Free Republic in terms of its overall integrity. I’m not saying there isn’t anything good at DU — there is. Lots of good stuff. It’s just way overshadowed by too much really over the top rhetoric, […]
