Last week’s contest was won by milwhcky. It was the north Oahu beach where scenes from the show “Lost” were filmed.
This week’s location is somewhere in Washington state, good luck!

Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Paint Ball!
Is that a dog agility course?
Looks like a paint ball course to me.

Hunger Games 2.0
well, that worked
found a site listing all the paintball venues in washington…will try to post for anyone to use…I’ve got to go work on the house
editor won’t let me post link
the site is called pbreview dot com
Casey’s batting range in Port Orchard
Actually Casey’s web page does not mention paintball, so it may be a neighboring business.

Heh. If you rotate the scene, from any other angle all that’s installed is the netting. I suspect it’s some new half-assed sideline for Casey’s.
Zooming out it looks like they’ve got trap or skeet shooting, a batting cage, and the paintball field, but I don’t see anything gocart related.
The Go-carts are at a separate facility in Tacoma.
@9
Good win! I wasn’t sure if that was paintball or not when I posted it.
Looks like tents, no place to shit, and eventually abandoned due to public revulsion, so I was going to guess it was how Occupy Something likes to live.
Suddenly I can’t get into the 9/17 Open Thread. I’m getting a “The webpage cannot be found message.” I can access all other parts of HA.
Well, I can’t read or post on the 9/17 comments thread, so I’ll have to post my comments here.
I hate WordPress. I wish Goldy had a better program for this site.
Conservative blogger Erick Erickson at RedState has put his finger on why Mitt Romney can’t beat a black Kenyan communist with a forged birth certificate who was brainwashed by radical imams in Indonesian madrassas and pals around with terrorists:
“Like it or not, spin it or not, put your head in the sand or not, attack me as the messenger or not, the very simple truth is that Mitt Romney has failed to close any deal with the voters and his message is so muddled no voter really knows what they are getting.”

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Romney is guilty of political malpractice. There’s no other phrase for it. But we can’t assume it will stay that way til November. I expect that pretty quickly now the GOP will panic, send in a cleanup crew, and get his campaign back on the rails. Then the race will tighten and, if the Romney campaign is ever put under a competent guiding hand, the election could turn into a squeaker.
I’ll copy and paste #19 in the appropriate thread if I’m ever able to get back into the 9/17 Open Thread (or, if I can’t, then some new thread).
I still can’t access the 9/17 thread. Doesn’t look like anyone else can, either, as I don’t see any new posts listed in the sidebar. Something happened to the 9/17 open thread — it crashed.
I received a DNC e-mail this afternoon that says new polls show that Tammy Baldwin and Elizabeth Warren have pulled ahead in the Senate races in Wisconsin and Massachusetts.
@21 Roger,
47% of the time the 9/17 Open Thread pays no income tax and feels itself entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that’s an entitlement. And the government should give it to it.
@21 Roger,
Had the 9/17 Open Thread been born of, uh, Mexican parents, It would have a better shot at being repaired.
But the 9/17 Open Thread was unfortunately born to Americans. And, uh, uh, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to have a 9/17 Open Thread, uh … Latino.
The 9/17 thread is a total dick.
Uh-huh. You guys must have heard about the explosive Romney videos wherein Stupid Mitt shot off his mouth in (not-so) private to well-heeled fundraisers.
lol! FTW!
nobody reads your silly shit anyway…
it appears the 9/17 thread is busy “occupying” something.
9/17 thread needs take a shower, shave, put on some clean clothes, and go look for a fucking job.
is the 9/17 thread YLB incognito?
Explosive Romney Videos Released!
Mitt Romney has a mouth problem. One that makes Joe Biden’s look tame. I’m not kidding, you’ll see what I mean below.
“Secretly recorded videos of Mitt Romney at a private fund-raiser emerged online Monday, quickly catching fire as material potentially damaging to the Republican presidential nominee. In the footage, taped with a hidden camera, Romney argued nearly half of Americans will vote for President Barack Obama because they rely on government support, made apparent jokes about wishing he had Latino heritage, and talks about a Chinese factory his former firm purchased.
“There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what,” Romney says in one clip. “There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” Adding to his argument about entitlement, Romney said his “job is not to worry about those people.”
“My dad … was born in Mexico … and, uh, had he been born of, uh, Mexican parents, I’d have a better shot at winning this,” Romney said. “But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico…. I mean I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.”
“When I was back in my private equity days, we went to China to buy a factory there,” Romney is heard saying. “It employed about 20,000 people. And they were almost all young women between the ages of about 18 and 22 or 23. They were saving for potentially becoming married.” The GOP nominee goes on to detail the conditions he saw, including workers squeezed into dormitory-style housing, and a fence topped by barbed wire circling the factory. Romney says when he asked the factory’s bosses about the fence, they told him it was meant to keep people out, rather than in, as people were clamoring to come and work at the plant, which Romney said was manufacturing small appliances. Romney concludes his story by recalling words from a fellow employee of Bain. “The Bain partner I was with turned to me and said, you know, 95% of life is settled if you are born in America,” Romney is heard saying on the tape.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Holy shit. What else can I say? This man is too stupid to be president.
@29 Vercingetorix,
“go look for a fucking job”
I’m with d bag @29. We need to legalize prostitution!
@28 Apparently you do. You just proved it.
Hey!
Wanna hear my Mitt Romney campaign impression?
Go to your toilet and flush!
@33 I don’t think it’s quite that drastic, but it doesn’t help him, especially on top of his other recent gaffes. It’ll offend people he’s already offended. I think there’s a question of whether Romney is having a nervous breakdown. It looks like it. The rigors of campaigning seem to be getting to him. He’s coming unglued. Or maybe he was never glued to start with.
@34 Roger,
Gekko/Galt is done. We’ve a shot to pick up a seat or two in the Senate. Next is the House.
We can run the table here, in no small part due to the terrible candidate that is Slick Willard.
Willard is out of time and clearly will get his ass handed to him in the debates (as will Lying Ryan).
Watch, the Republican SuperPAC money is going (to continue) to move to Senate and House races.
Atrios nails it
emphasis added for YOU PEOPLE!
Oh, and I know you come here and whet your anti-Goldy chops Bobby Mac. You are going to get CREAMED in Washington.
My guess is that we’ll see juicy clips of the MotherJones video of Slick Willard’s tour de force show up in Obama ads about a week before the first debate (Domestic Policy) on Wednesday, October 3rd.
@38
Maddow just now says the person who gave this to Mother Jones says that there’s bunches more to be released later.
Embedded in the Mother Jones story is 3.5 minutes of video. Mitt apparently spoke for an hour at that event.
Drip, drip, drip……
I take back everything I said. We’re DOOMED!
In New Campaign Strategy, Romney to Have Mouth Wired Shut Until November
@39 I got it elsewhere, but the scuttlebutt is that the vid was shot by an overpaid table server at the event. Fking moochers! S/He was clearly making minimum wage + tips!
I’m part of the 53% that Mitt is going for.
He needs to win 94.5% of us to get 50.1%
One less. Fat chance.
Swirl, swirl, swirl…..whooshhhhh!
@41
I wonder if they were in a union?
@38 NBC Nightly News broadcast part of it tonight (the video is available through their website). NBC’s Brian Williams says the video “has legs.”
From the clip that NBC aired it appears the video was made with a cellphone by one of the catering staffers. Romney is on the other side of the room facing away from the camera at some distance, and you see waiters working in the foreground near the camera. So it probably was some minimum-wage worker listening to him popping off about the 47% who don’t make enough to pay income taxes who decided to record this Preppy Boy Asshole’s anti-working-class rant for posterity. Now it’s blowing up in his face. The videographer may end up losing his/her job but will be a hero to underpaid, overworked, and abused minimum-wage workers everywhere.
@41 Yeah, it absolutely looks like Romney forgot that low-wage workers were in the room, and it’s gonna cost him.
Oh – My – God!!!
This is what New Yorker says is in those videos:
“In the video, Mr. Romney blasts the American people for being ‘insanely obsessed with food, clothing, and shelter,’ and asserts that many of them are ‘too lazy to hide their money overseas.’
“At another point in the video, Mr. Romney refers to his own hardscrabble childhood: ‘I was never handed anything in life. If I wanted to cut a gay kid’s hair off, I had to pin him to the ground myself.'”

Romney Just Saying He Grew Up Poor In Memphis Now
Obama is DOOMED!
@44 Roger,
Fk yeah, the video has legs. Good for our side it missed being THE story today.
And yeah, I love it that the underpaid immigrant caught his ass.
But that’s not even true – Willard had his posse hold him down for him.
Mitt Rmoney is an 11th dimensional fuck up.
So Mitt ships American jobs oversaes to China, where he was very much impressed by factories surrounded by barbed-wire topped fences with workers living in dorms earning slave wages. And now he disses his victims, the American worker, as a bunch of fucking losers.
You can pull that fork out of McKenna, MBS, and stick in Romney. I’d say he’s at least done, if not well over-cooked.
Hey, Bob, your fucking candidate is a “disaster”, to quote Peggy Noonan, no doubt a new member of the Alan Greenspan wing of the Democratic party. Oh, and Romney’s campaign is now in the “post-mortum phase” according to Greenspans wife. LMFAO at you!!! Chump.
‘I was never handed anything in life. If I wanted to cut a gay kid’s hair off, I had to pin him to the ground myself.’
Is that part of a New Yorker joke? With Mitt, it’s hard to tell these days, seeing as how he’s become a joke himself. What a fucking “disaster”, to quote Peggy Noonan, a member of the Alan Greenspan wing of the Democratic party. LMFAO at Bob!!!
If he had said, “47% of Americans pay no income tax…and I’m one of them!” he’s have had the audience signing up for a seminar on how to do that.
@52, Where Dino Rossi besteses Slick Willard!
@ 50
Hey, Bob, your fucking candidate is a “disaster”
Well, I’ll cop to a similarity between this and the ‘bitter clingers’ tape made of Obama in 2008.
What I’m wondering is whether there’s significantly more still to come.
Recall that the way Breitbart got Weiner was the drip, drip, drip of information, each piece worse than the last.
Would the same thing happen to Romney here?
I’ll stay tuned. Enjoy this, FWIW. Obama got hammered for ‘you didn’t build that’, this is Romney’s turn.
@54,
The difference is, even when Obama was hammered, he was still ahead.
Romney is behind, and with less than 2 months until the election, he can’t afford to get hammered, he can’t even afford to get his hair slightly mussed.
@ 55
Yes, Romney is behind. I believe I read that somewhere recently.
@54 “What I’m wondering is whether there’s significantly more still to come.”
It’s a safe bet there’s more where this came from.
This is how the Romney campaign will be remembered.

“Well, I’ll cop to a similarity between this and the ‘bitter clingers’ tape made of Obama in 2008.”
It’s kind of like the difference between a good joke you’ve already heard a few times and the good ones you haven’t yet heard.
“Recall that the way Breitbart got Weiner was the drip, drip, drip of information, each piece worse than the last.”
I wouldn’t be too thrilled if this thing is let out in drips like that. I want Obama to win, not for Romney to be waterboarded.
Mitt is kind of like my Mormon Jesse Jackson. I relate to Mormons and blacks. Generally speaking, I want to see them do good. But when they disappoint, they tend to truly fucking disappoint.
Only in you fever dreams, Cap’n Crunch.
I’m usually not into this stuff but it’s hard not to notice that if Romney is elected president and then was declared to be the head of the Mormon church, and then Ryan came out, announcing that Romney had converted him during the campaign, Mormon prophesy would suddenly be fulfilled, the end times would be here and all hell would be let loose, starting in the Middle-East and resulting in the end of all life on earth! Well, except for Mormons, the people with a year’s worth of food stocked in their basements. Then they all get their own planets. Well, rich guys like Mitt, anyway, something about special underwear. That’s the short version of it. I may have left out a talking Golden Salamander or something.
I’m not saying that a vote for Romney is a vote for the end of the world. Heh. No, I’m just sayin’.
Enough of end days, tax returns and imploding campaigns. What I want to know is, just how many wives does Mitt have besides Ann? I heard some where that it was twelve, but then I read somewhere else that it was only six. Does anybody here know for sure?
When you’ve lost Bobo…

I thought yeah this is why the trolls (especially Puddydope) love the guy. They want that!
Since someone foisted Maddow here… Here’s more Maddow
Then the moron blames Romney for the attack. Read it yourselves. She’s a moron!
BTW, Puddy glad the Chicago teachers rejected a 16% pay raise. People are waking up to the DUMMOCRAPT obsession with the Teachers Unions not caring about the kids. This is 97% of DUMMOCRAPTS affecting 100% DUMMOCRAPTS. Rahmbo Deadfish Emanuel is being emasculated by his own constituents!
P R I C E L E S S!
He is speaking about the OWS types who think your money Lib da dunce is theirs. Fraggy and his ilk would gladly take Dr Lib da dunce and his dr wife’s money in a heart beat!
Read these Gallup poll demographics… So why don’t rich DUMMOCRAPTS do more with their own money? Puddy thinks rich DUMMOCRAPTS should voluntarily pay more taxes!
I just don’t know what to think about puddybud…
He seems to be trying, yet his achievement is so poor.
He seems like he’s just in over his head. It seems the job he has was maybe given to the wrong person. Maybe he was never qualified in the first place.
He’s a nice person and all, but just can’t seem to do the job. He can’t cut it. This happens sometimes with these Affirmative Action trolls.
As sad as it is for him, we just have to go a different way with our trolls here. I think we’re going to have to replace puddybud with a white guy who can do this troll thing better – but we tried.
I hear Mitt Romney may be available as soon as November. Is that enough notice?
*(Before puddybud squawks ‘RACISM!”, the above is snark (except the Romney availability part – that’s true) meant to mimic the things Republicans have said about Obama as President)
I do think puddybud must be illiterate, though.
@69…
He’s hidebound. He can’t keep up.
