Listicle this 2013 was a big — no, a HUGE — year for Eclectablog. Although we had more visitors in 2012 thanks to the presidential election, we experienced tremendous growth in 2013. In May, we brought on the extraordinarily gifted writer Amy Lynn Smith. Her coverage of health care issues and women’s issues has been stellar and she’s brought a […]

We have officially made the change to Wordpress which will allow us to do much more in terms of layout and useful tools.

If you encounter glitches along the way, please tweet me or send an email using the Contact link at the very top of the page.

I am pretty excited about this and hope you enjoy the new look. Many thanks to my wife Anne and Ms. LOLGOP who were largely responsible for this happening.

If you’ve reached this page, you’ll notice that we’re back to the blogspot URL. This will change soon as we migrate the blog to WordPress. I’m told it should be an easy transition and we’ll be able to bring all the posts and comments over. If you have any trouble in the next week or two, send me an email […]

LOLGOP delivers the most consistently incisive progressive political commentary ever crammed into 140 characters. When I […]

Hmmm…what could it be…? As I have been alluding to on site’s my Facebook page, I will have a major blog-related announcement tomorrow morning at 6:45 a.m. I will also be discussing it during my “appearance” on the First Shift with Tony Trupiano radio show at 8:35 a.m. To answer some of the questions raised on my Facebook page: It’s […]

Just a quick note to let you know that we have landed on a final version of the new Eclectablog logo. This one is a vast improvement in a variety of ways. First, the lettering is bolder and more legible. We wanted to keep the font because it’s unique and characteristic. However, the font itself is not that “fat” so […]

My lovely wife is tinkering around with an awesome new logo. You may see it change a bit over the next few days. Here are some current favorites: We’re wide open to feedback so let us know what you think.

As we move into the new year, I want to take a moment to thank the many folks who have supported Eclectablog over the past year and to give you a look at what’s on the horizon for this blog and my writing, in general. First, I must first begin with thanking my beautiful life partner and wife, Anne C. […]

These two ads have something in common: they were […]
