…and occasionally other content. Really. Twelve fucking years ago, Goldy wrote his first HA post.

And in his first post ever, he was already offering media criticism:

So to those upstanding members of the political and media establishment who insist I cannot possibly expect to maintain my credibility as an activist while producing an irreverent and outrageous blog, the Goldy half of me respectfully says: “fuck you.”

And the first use of the word “fuck” on this blog. (These are the small things that mean so much to us…)

Yes, I am writing this blog to amuse myself; if I entertain, educate or motivate others… great! But if some people occasionally find me rude or offensive, well… that’s okay too.

Judging by the number of comments we get to our endless series of open threads, there is, at the very least, some entertainment happening.

Little known fact…a blog-year is equal to about seven human years. That makes HA a “senior netizen” among blogs. And judging by the endless open threads of late, I guess you can say we are feeling it in our muscles and joints. We expect to feel more energetic any day now.

In the mean time, thanks, Goldy, for creating this blog. Thank you, dear reader, for stopping by our geriatric blog. And thank you, dear commenter, for playing in our cesspool.

This week in electoral politics includes a Nebraska GOP primary and a West Virginia primary. And there will be plenty of other topics to raise at this evening’s Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally.
