For those who follow other pragmatic progressive blogs, the most-awesome Blue Wave News is back online after being hacked over a month ago. Stop by and tell them Eclectablog sent you! I’m just sayin’…

I watched the Academy Awards for awhile last night, mostly because I like train wrecks and the Oscars are always good for one or two of those. The biggest one that I saw before I gave up and went to bed was when 94 year-old Kirk Douglas took the stage. Honestly, I could barely watch it was so horrible. Its […]

Here’s the event description: The president announces his budget on February 14, and already, Republicans—and some Democrats—are campaigning to cut billions in funding from health care, education, and science programs. Cuts to our economic lifelines won’t do anything […]

This ought to be good. Anti-union right-wingers are holding an “I Stand With Walker” anti-union rally at the capitol building in Madison tomorrow. It’s being promoted by Rush Limbaugh wannabe conservative radio host Vicki McKenna. She posted this on her Facebook page today: BOOK IT: capitol rally for taxpayers, noon on SATURDAY! bring cleaning supplies to clean up the pigsty […]
