A fine day for the wearin’ o’ the green Whattya say? Shall we call it Eclect O’Blog, just for today? My grandfather’s parents came to the USA from Ireland — the McCann Clan. Explains my dear love of ales, I guess. I’m gettin’ ready ta whip up a fantastic vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie and some traditional Irish soda bread for dinner […]

I got an email from Katie Goodman this afternoon telling me about a video she put up recently that has gone somewhat viral. We just posted my new video two days ago that we thought would be right up your alley. It got 27,000 hits in one day and HuffPo picked it up and put it on their front page! […]

What the…? Just had a link to this site sent to me by my brother-in-law: DefendRush.org. Yes, THAT Rush. Rush Limbaugh. Click through. You won’t believe it. : )

Forget that he’s partisan out of necessity, not by design. (He […]

A tornado hit the village of Dexter, MI a mere six miles from my house. My wife Anne C. Savage shot this video of some of the damage. Dexter village is completely shut down. There is a major gas leak that is in risk of exploding. A Huron Valley Hospital mobile unit went by our house just a short time […]

That’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it. Uh-huh. Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow released this awesome campaign video at the Michigan Democratic Party Nominating Convention last Saturday and now it’s available for everyone to see.
