My Phillies have just won only their second World Series in 126 years. So be patient.
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
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!
Are you saying I’m supposed to wait as long for the Mariners to win a World Series as I’ll have to wait for light rail to get built? In either case, I won’t live that long.
Savor it, Goldy! Considering no human has ever lived more than 122 years, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment! Like an Electoral College majority is for John McCain, the next Phillies World Series Championship is out of reach for you.
Never let it be said I’m a rubberstamp for Goldy. As I’ve just demonstrated above, I’m not only capable of being mean to him, but also of doing it for mere fun.
No. I think you fit the definition of suck-dick much better.
On thread before this one …

Ricky Dickhead @4 – All I did was post a factual statement in the previous thread. What wingnuts like you are good at is thinking facts are opinions, and thinking opinions are facts.
@Moron4
Rick D. – you fit the definition of brain dead.
Have you ever had anything useful or thoughtful to add to the conversation?
I can answer that one – NO. Just the pathetic regurgitation of republican right wing talking points. Take it to Sound politics – the idiots there would welcome even a half-wit like you as a genius.
Yeah, and there’s hope for my Cubs, too.
Goldstein: You’ll be moving back to your hellhole then?
@8 Although I can’t speak for Goldstein, and do not presume to do so, based on my interactions with Goldstein, I believe Goldstein retains a sentimental nostalgic fondness for his hometown but at the same time has a new love.
How many countries participate in this “world”
series? :)
Congrats Goldy and Jamie Moyer.
@10
USA, Venezuela, Korea, Japan, Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, ….
I just finished watching Obama’s special 30-minute telecast. To call this an “infomercial” or “ad” cannot do it justice. It was heartwarming, uplifting, emotional; it made my ears twitch and my little rabbit heart go pitty-pat!
This program gave us a window into Obama’s impending presidency. America is a great country, but needs to fix a few things. Saying that isn’t negative; great old cars like the ’65 Mustang or ’57 Beetle need maintenance to keep ’em running smoothly, too!
It’s not attacking America to say terminally ill people shouldn’t have to spend their final months fighting insurance companies to get the coverage they paid for, and failing companies shouldn’t be allowed to expropriate the pension funds their employees spent a lifetime earning and paying into.
It’s not attacking America to say we should fight the right wars, and fight them well, and when we have to fight, win.
It’s not attacking America to say that if our government can afford to hand out more tax cuts, it’s struggling families’ turn to get them.
The only thing those positions attack are the selfish and failed policies of the Republicans, and who gives a damn about Republicans, because they’re not real Americans anyway. (Obama didn’t say that. But I’m sayin’ it — and if you don’t like it, tough! Lick my rabbit balls.)
There are only two kinds of voters in America. Those who vote for positive change, and those stuck in the rut of rightwing hatemongering and fearmongering. You’ve gotta feel optimistic when you see crowds of 100,000 enthusiastic people filling an entire stadium cheering Obama’s positive message of a better future for ordinary Americans, compared to Joe The Plumber ranting on a street corner to 70 people, only 69 of whom aren’t heckling him.
Yes, this special broadcast capsulizes this election. You can vote for the “yes, we can do that!” guy, or you can fall for the tired talking points of the shifty-eyed white-haired guy who smirks at you when he says he’s gonna give another $300 billion of tax breaks to corporations and rich guys.
In recent threads a troll calling himself “lostinaseaofblue” attacked my economic arguments by trotting out the standard Republican trickle-down theory. My answer to him is that we have 27 years’ worth of empirical evidence that nothing trickles down. All the polls show hard-working average Americans aren’t fooled anymore by the GOP’s false propaganda.
Twenty-seven years of tax cuts for the rich have produced less job security, fewer jobs, stagnant wages, disappearing health care and pensions, and a lower standard of living and less secure lives for average Americans, even though they’re working harder than ever before and their productivity is at an all-time high.
“Lostinaseaofblue” can type any words he wants on his keyboard and post them here, but that doesn’t change the reality that Reaganism and 27 years of conservative dominance of American politics have visited upon the tens of millions of Americans whose lives have become materially worse because of Republican policies. But this troll did get one thing right. On Tuesday, he truly will be “lost in a sea of blue.” Sucks to be you, guy.
Damn, I’m good, especially when I’m hot.
Here’s to hoping it doesn’t take nearly that long to get our country back.
What Howard Dean said four years ago still holds true. I want my country back and I want my flag back.
Is A Fatal Car Crash Hidden In McCain’s Navy Records?
Hey, I’m not saying there’s any substance to this story, which is all over the blogosphere. I’m not like the wingnut propagandists who scoop up sleazy rumors and run with them. I’m not insinuating or innuendoing anything.
I’m just askin’, that’s all — does anyone out there know anything about this?
For example, Huffington Post says:
“For the past two months, a major American magazine and an allied news service have been engaged in a legal battle with the United States Navy over records that they believe show that John McCain once was involved in an automobile accident that injured or, perhaps, killed another individual. Vanity Fair magazine and the National Security News Service claim to have knowledge ‘developed from first-hand sources’ of a car crash that involved then-Lt. McCain at the main gate of a Virginia naval base in 1964, according to legal filings. The incident has been largely, if not entirely, kept from the public.”
And Newsvine.com says,
“The incident has been largely, if not entirely, kept from the public. … [L]awyers … allege that a cover-up may be at play.”
And Citizen.com says,
“Well well well….it seems Lieutentant John Sidney McCain III was involved in a fatal car crash in 1964. The Navy acknowledges that it has records pertaining to this accident but refuses to comply with FOIA requests from Vanity Fair magazine.”
No, I’m a reputable liberal propagandist, and I don’t stoop to peddling material of this nature on the eve of a contested election hoping to influence the vote, like rightwing sleazebags do. These allegations aren’t even relevant to this election, because this election is already over.
My question has to do with whether the Navy is complying with public records laws. Frankly, I don’t care if McCain ran over and killed a fellow sailor in a drunken stupor when he was a subaltern, or got special treatment because he was an admiral’s son. I’m concerned about press access to government records and the public’s right to know! There are important principles involved in making sure government agencies such as the Navy comply with FOIA, because access to information is essential to the proper functioning of a free press and the ability of citizens to keep our government accountable.
On this blog? what’s the point? Just the usual HA drivel going on here by the usual single digit IQ’ers that swallow all the horseshit Goldy can shovel down their gullet and then ask for seconds.
Rabbit droppings: when are you going to quit peddling fiction and start asking the LA times to release video they have of Obama, Ayers and Khalidi hanging out like the good buddies they are? As Goldy says………what do they have to hide? Hmmmm
Ricky Dumbass @16 – Yes, I see why you’d think this blog contains drivel if you scroll past every comment with bigger words than you can read.
From what I hear Roadkill, the goat goes on to start a blog called Horsesass and then has a bunch of sheep falling him around and pretty much kissing his ass 24/7. Then, one day, the goat can’t afford to sustain his website and it’s shutdown and the sheep need to find a new home…eventually, one of the sheep take the goat in and in turn for payment, the goat has to give sexual favors to the sheep (hence the inside joke term at HA “goatfucker”)….
Just what I’ve heard Roadkill, but hey, don’t believe me, just remember the story when HA isn’t available in about 60 days or less.
25 years is a fucking long time…
Go Phillies!
@16 I hate to break this to ya, ricky dumbshit, but McCain palled around with Khalidi too. To wit:
“McCain Funded Work Of Palestinian His Campaign Hopes To Tie To Obama
“During the 1990s, while he served as chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), McCain distributed several grants to the Palestinian research center co-founded by Khalidi …. A 1998 tax filing for the McCain-led group shows a $448,873 grant to Khalidi’s Center for Palestine Research and Studies for work in the West Bank. (See grant number 5180, ‘West Bank: CPRS’ on page 14 of this PDF.)
“The relationship extends back as far as 1993, when John McCain joined IRI as chairman …. Foreign Affairs noted in September of that year that IRI had helped fund several extensive studies in Palestine run by Khalidi’s group, including over 30 public opinion polls and a study of ‘sociopolitical attitudes.’
“Of course, there’s seemingly nothing objectionable with McCain’s organization helping a Palestinian group conduct research in the West Bank or Gaza. But … McCain could have some of his own explaining to do as he tries to make hay out of Khalidi’s ties to Obama.”
(Quoted from Huffington Post under fair use.)
Someone should check to see if McCain gave Ayers money for bombs in the ’60s. I’m not saying he did, and I have no evidence he did, all I’m saying is someone should check on it. All I’ve heard about what McCain did in the ’60s was kill a guy in a car accident, and I don’t even know if that’s true. All I’m saying is with all the checking of Obama’s background going on, someone should run a background check on McCain too, so we know if he was palling around with terrorists or running over people on Navy bases.
@18 Pretty much what I figured. You can’t even read “My Pet Goat” and comprehend what it says, because that’s definitely not how it ends. This confirms my suspicion that you can only read pictures.
Goldy: You mean: ‘The Phiwwies’. Right?
Quoted under ‘fair use’ from: The Phiwwidewphia Phiwwies magazine.
Congratulations to the Phillies.
who gives a fuck
My niece, in South Jersey, has a secret way to get into the ball game for free, but then it’s SRO. She went to the game the night it got rained out. She got drenched, and coming home, the PATCO train was very late and everybody else waiting for the train was not only wet, but drunk to boot. Then she couldn’t go back last night because she had to work. And still, she is VERY HAPPY this moring. Baseball does that for you–warms your heart right up (or breaks it.)
Somethimes, life exceeds your expectations.
This phan is absolutely thrilled to have had the opportunity to see the team he has rooted for for over half a century win the World Series.
(I was out of the country when the Phils won in 1980.)
Seeing Jamie Moyer get a world series ring helped take the edge off a dismal season.
A classy guy. I was glad to see him get it.
Now if only I could get a bit torrent of the game he pitched!
