Last night’s 2nd Annual Eclectafundraiser is in the can and, in my opinion, it simply could not have gone better. We had well over 100 folks come by, the beer lasted until the very end, and we didn’t run out of Eclectagrog beer glasses to give away. Oh, yeah. This happened, too: Yes, history was made when, after being crowned […]

Our very own LOLGOP recorded one of Tony Trupiano’s increasingly popular podcast series this past week. They talked about the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion among other things.

LOLGOP takes to the airwaves Our good friend Christine Barry from Blogging for Michigan has had to step down from participating in the Blog Role segment on the Night Shift with Tony Trupiano radio show on Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET. Taking her place is our very own LOLGOP. His first segment was last Thursday while I was camping. […]

Are you woman? Are you man? We’re your biggest Twittered-up fans

Last night, LOLGOP was on SiriusXM’s Politics Powered By Twitter show. You can listen to it after the jump. If the link doesn’t work for you, hop over to the HyperVocal website where they have transcribed some of the highlights and included their own commentary and impressions after talking to our very own Eclectablogger.

It’s a spectacularly fun interview. Enjoy (after the jump.)

To be or not to be, that is the question

It’s almost as if you can’t make millions of dollars spouting tired sexist hate on commercial radio anymore. Here’s the difference between Bill Maher and Rush Limbaugh in case you’ve watched this video and are still wondering. Forget that Maher is funny. Forget that he’s not on commercial television. Forget that he’s partisan out of necessity, not by design. (He […]

If women needing birth control to treat endometriosis makes you think about sex, there are medications for that. There are still at it. They’re still implying Sandra Fluke is a slut. They’re still betraying they have no idea how birth control works. They still think getting a prescription to treat endometriosis is some luxury you’re being “given” at their expense. […]

Please RT! – @RobDelaney Apparently I’ve been waiting my whole life for Twitter. Allen Ginsberg had to roam to streets to see the best minds of his generation destroyed by madness. I do it through a retina display.And politics has been waiting for Twitter, too. Last year, Politico’s Ben Smith recognized last year that Twitter was draining the life from […]

When Mitt lies, Atlas shrugs You know the GOP’s favorite Karl Rove tactic: Take an opponent’s strength and make it his weakness. This is how Vietnam evader George W. Bush beat war hero John Kerry. This is why Sarah Palin, who was vetted as well as a pair of shoes purchased online, says President Obama wasn’t properly vetted. This blurs […]

How’s that “people take notes’ thing working out for you? by @pourmecoffee In the book “Game Change” by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, Sarah Palin doesn’t enter into the second half. The bulk of the story is the battle between Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama. It’s a story will be told throughout American history, a story made even more relevant […]

BREAKING: Black man can’t get a little credit Here’s Barack Obama’s problem: He makes it look too easy. His is a presidency that is flooded with accomplishments and astoundingly lacking in gaffes and scandals. He has returned this economy to just about where it was before the Great Recession hit, reversing a tide of attrition that lasted nearly a decade. […]
