The HA community is just incredible. With 10 hours remaining on HA’s first “Pledge Week”, 106 readers have contributed $4,043.91, blowing past my $3,500 target. That’s a couple mortgage payments and then some, and certainly takes a bit of the edge off my short term financial situation. Thank you all for giving so… well… liberally.
But as much as I can use the money, the very fact that so many of you have been so generous is at least as gratifying as the cash itself. Opening your wallets not only tells me that you appreciate my work, but that you recognize the important role us bloggers play in transforming both the media and political landscapes. It is tremendously reassuring to know that I am not the only one who believes that we are in the midst of creating a more vibrant, informed and democratic democracy.
I look forward to working with all of you over the coming year, and promise to do the best I can to make your investment in me pay dividends far into the future.
Oh… and if you haven’t yet contributed to the pledge drive, it’s never too late. Your financial support is always appreciated, and will never be spent frivolously.
It’s Pledge Week at HA.
Please give liberally.

Hey Goldy – Here’s an illustration what a fucking loser you are…
So you got some other losers to ante up $4000. That’s about 4% of what Tim got in a single payday.
Here’s another one. A company I own stock in announced earnings today that exceeded street expectations. Stock went up some. I got an unrealized holding gain of $6000 before I even started work today. I suppose you moonbats would tax the shit out of that since you think I didn’t “work” for it.
Losers… every fucking one of you. Especially Goldy…
Carl Grossman spews:
Thank you, Goldy. Until the day that Mike Brown blamed you for his downfall in front of congress, and I immediately surfed to your blog, I was a passive political participant. I voted, to be sure, but I did not speak out or actively support my candidates.
As a direct result of reading and participating here at HA, I am now actively involved in the political process.
Thank you.

You must think everyone here is so impressed. I know I am. I am impressed at the distance you will go to tell another lie in an effort to make someone else feel small. This is due to your extremely low self-esteem.
Your mother must have been one wicked woman to have left you with this kind of psychological trouble. You and puddy/mws/lyingsackofshit2 should get together and get some help. You can be each others sponsor.
No one here believes you have a pot to piss in, let alone that you realized a gain in some imaginary stock. Those with money and means have no need to brag or boast. The more you brag, the less anyone here thinks of you. (as if that were possible).

Goldy provides a public service, or at least entertainment, in producing this blog. His fund drive establishes that he has a constituency that is willing to pay for his service. What we see here is market forces at work. A capitalist like you should be tipping your hat to him. Of course, despite the apparent value you gain in your own mind from coming here, you are unwilling, like most conservatives, to pay for the value you receive. Rather, you prefer to simply be a leach upon society. By the way, if you ever need anything, I doubt there’s a soul anywhere who would give a shit. You are a net drag on your community.

Syndicated columnist Molly Ivins dies
By KELLEY SHANNON, Associated Press Writer
40 minutes ago
AUSTIN, Texas – Best-selling author and columnist Molly Ivins, the sharp-witted liberal who skewered the political establishment and referred to President Bush as \”Shrub,\” died Wednesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was 62.
David Pasztor, managing editor of the Texas Observer, confirmed her death.
The writer, who made a living poking fun at Texas politicians, whether they were in her home base of Austin or the White House, revealed in early 2006 that she was being treated for breast cancer for the third time.
Rest in peace, rabblerouser!

RATINGS SHOCK: RUSH #1 FOR ALL NEWS AND TALK SHOWS IN PUGET SOUND…
NUMBER ONE
In Seattle, Rush Now Leads All News And Talk Shows
For any successful talk station, just how important is Rush Limbaugh?
In Seattle, an ultra- competitive talk radio market, new ratings results representing the all- important Fall 2006 Arbitron Ratings Survey underscore the tremendous impact of featuring the nation\’s number one host.
For the first time in recent memory, El Rushbo is not only fending off four competitors during his 9am – noon timeslot, he\’s beating every news and talk show heard anywhere in the region, liberal or conservative and regardless of the time slot.
With a staggering 116% percent surge in the key adults aged 25-54 demographic, Rush clobbered everything the Puget Sound Area had to offer, with an enormous 5.4 share of the audience.
Heard on Bonneville\’s newly- acquired KTTH-AM, the talk titan scored three times the audience of longtime KIRO libtalker Dave Ross, who has been struggling for some time. And Rush ran circles around the liberal- conservative team of Ken Schram and John Carlson on the once- proud KVI, beating them by a factor of four.
In addition, he more than doubled his \”progressive\” competition at CBS Radio\’s KPTK- AM.
Beyond his own results, a carryover effect was felt on KTTH for programs that precede and follow his, leading to an overall surge for the station. Meanwhile, Limbaugh\’s former Seattle – Tacoma outlet, KVI- AM, has been badly hurt by the loss of his program.
Amplifying the damage, the addition of local shows featuring liberals and moderates has likely alienated KVI\’s traditional audience. Once a ratings powerhouse, KVI now ranks fifth overall among news and talk stations in the area.
In addition to KVI\’s significant weakness, KTTH is troubled between 3pm and midnight, while KIRO is in very bad shape during the evenings and some midday hours. In fact, KTTH now beats KIRO overall in the 25-54 demo.
So far, an hour- long local daily show hosted by former MSNBC anchor Ron Reagan Jr has not produced ratings results for KIRO, or much of a buzz in the Emerald City.
Previously, we\’ve mentioned Limbaugh\’s strong ratings results in other cities, including Boston. So far, Rush has seen a small decline in Chicago and a larger one in Portland, Oregon. But overall, he\’s still going strong.

For anyone that didn’t catch Mr. Redneck’s getting caught in the health care thread, here are a few highlights:
To which yours truly responded:
This is from the US Department of Health and Human Services (part of the Bush administration) report which is available at:
http://aspe.hhs.gov/health/rep orts/05/uninsured-cps/index.ht m
Other sources have the 2006 numbers even higher, but when I re-wrote this post, I thought I’d go to a source that even the neo-cons would have a hard time disputing.
Here’s another quote you folks should remember:
I realize that this will put a big crimp in your ability to argue your points, but remember that folks here actually have access to the Internet, and can check your numbers very quickly.
Next round from Mr. Redneck:
Which was followed by the knockout post from yours truly:
Please note that the non-citizen 21% that is left also includes legal immigrants. It would take more time than I have immediately available to break that number down into legal/illegal categories, as the Bush administration did not choose to break down those categories in its report.
Mr. Redneck, I presume that you have the same access to the internet that I have, and I went to the trouble of finding a reference that you could believe. Could you please take the time to actually check a reference or two before just spouting off?
While it makes it much easier for me to dispute your claims, I really enjoy the challenge of debating with someone that actually understands what he is debating.
Please, stop making this so easy.

4) Spend less than you make.
5) Take the savings and invest wisely.

i personally don’t care a whit that carl is his name and neither does anyone else. it’s the hypocrisy of goldy saying that poster “x” used more than one name…shame shame. and yet he never mentioned carl, left foot ad nauseum.
now, that is a typical liberal for you.
hey, john, how long have you been posting here anyway?
and how is that ad working out for you? got any leads yet? i emailed several of my friends in gig harbor [you know, the REAL gig harbor] and they had many reactions to your ad….none of them positive.and ,no, they aren’t republicans. they just thought advertising here was tacky. now that’s funny…….

Your idiocy is profound, probably clinical. If there are 20 million illegal immigrants in this country,they sure as hell are not showing up in statistics concerning those who have no health insurance.

While I cannot speak for Carl, I’ve been posting here on and off for some time, although I did get much more active during the last election. I remember doing some posting during the election for Governor, but only a few.
And, as far as your other point, about Goldy not pointing fingers at me about posting under more than one name, while I have been tempted to use a pen name to argue the conservative side of a few topics (since some reasonable conservative arguments were being ignored by the neo-cons), I resisted the temptation.
When I post my opinion, I put my name on it. If someone takes offense at my opinion, that is their option. Your other comments regarding your complaining to your friends in Gig Harbor leaves me little option but to renew my ad here. I’m a stubborn cuss, and refuse to have you (or anyone else) dictate to me how I should spend my advertising dollars. Goldy should thank you, as I’ll be a regular advertiser for the forseeable future. (Anyone that would choose not to use a particular agent because of his political beliefs is probably a client that would not be happy with me anyway.)
Of course, I probably would have kept the ad anyway, as I’ve already gotten more action from it than I had hoped for.
I do not notice you having the courage of your convictions, and putting your real name on your posts. You actually seem quite upset at the possibility that someone may find out who you really are.

Well, christmasghost, if you keep track, you’ll probably notice large chunks of time when I’m either not posting or I’m posting early in the morning or late at night. Also, you may occasionally notice a post that refers to a comment from many hours earlier. This is fun, but when a client wants something, their needs come first. You folks will just have to wait for my pearls of wisdom.
It’s a strange business, with a lot of what we used to call “hurry up and wait” back in the Navy. Some days I’ve got extra time, some days I’ve got none at all.
Some of those gaps I fill with marketing, and some of them I fill with this. My computer usually has several windows open and I’m pretty good at multi-tasking. One thing I do not have to do is to play the “look busy” game that many employees are forced into. I’m an independent contractor, and if I have a spare ten minutes, I can spend it here instead of shuffling papers around on my desk trying to look busy.
I know some agents that take on so many clients that they’re constantly juggling schedules and really don’t seem to have any life outside of real estate. Myself, I try for a balance. Essentially, this is what I do instead of golf.

The details of my military career are not for discussion. I have an extensive education and military backgroud. You are in no postion to make any comment concerning my background.
The fact that my comments are laced with graphic language does not indicate a lack of either education or class. It only indicates that I use profanity online.

It is not indicative of how I live my live, nor how I treat my wife, nor my education, nor any other facet of my lifetime experience.
I am an open book. My name is known. Unlike you I don’t harbor a fear that imaginary children will suffer “anything untoward” because of something posted here. I don’t fear retribution. I understand that there are differences of opinion. I also understand, far better than you, that those differences can co-exist peacefully.

Just a little info for you:
Main Entry: crass
Pronunciation: ‘kras
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin crassus thick, gross
1 a : GROSS 6a; especially : having or indicating such grossness of mind as precludes delicacy and discrimination b : being beneath one’s dignity c — used as a pejorative intensifier
2 : guided by or indicative of base or materialistic values
None of the above fits me, although once in a while can be gross. I am reminded of the something Christians sometimes say: Judge not, let ye be judged.
Main Entry: id·i·ot
Pronunciation: ‘i-dE-&t
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French ydiote, from Latin idiota ignorant person, from Greek idiOtEs one in a private station, layman, ignorant person, from idios one’s own, private; akin to Latin suus one’s own — more at SUICIDE
1 usually offensive : a person affected with idiocy
2 : a foolish or stupid person
– idiot adjective
Nope, this does not fit either. I have an education. I have a wide circle of friends, I do not suffer fools easily nor would anyone call me stupid. (This is not to claim that I have not done stupid things. Building and firing a potato gun, breaking a window and then denying all of it, could be considered stupid, when finding out later my dad saw me do it. Owning season tickets to the Mariners is beginning to look kinda stupid too.
Anyway, you might try to get to know me better before you attempt to hang a label on me. To help you here are some suggestions:
1. Intelligent
2. Funny
3. Honest
4. Patriotic
5. Liberal Democrat
6. Impatient
7. Kind
8. Pitbull mean when you mess with me or my family
9. Giving
10. Compassionate
11. I like animals and kids.
12. Direct and to the point.
Just thought if you are going to describe me, you should try to be more accurate.

carl/my left foot……..i take it you still haven’t asked goldy if i ever post under other names? what? too lazy? i mean, you asked, but you don’t really want an answer…..so it’s just mud slinging. typical. you think if you say it it will stick? nope…….
now why would i want to get to know a foul mouthed and very crass fool?
your military background isn’t up for discussion? really? then why do you bring it up?
and then there are these “pearls” from you: “Unlike you I don’t harbor a fear that imaginary children will suffer “anything untoward” because of something posted here”
what are you talking about? do you even know? imaginary children? are you referring to my three sons [ i know…to you it just sounds like a TV show } ? it’s your schtick to try and paint people as sad misfits [old maids, on drugs, no life…]…. you can say it all you want…it doesn’t make it true. didn’t you get the memo?
or this : “The fact that my comments are laced with graphic language does not indicate a lack of either education or class.”
don’t forget the graphic images….and honey, yes it does indicate you have little intelligence or education. not to mention class and manners. if you are so smart then why would you go out of your way to behave stupidly?
that was rhetorical. i have a feeling that you thank god for google every day.
and this is my favorite : “Must me horrible to live life afraid of everything that you don’t understand or that does not conform to your “Christian” belief system.”
i don’t know where you have been, but i’m not a christian. once again the name christmasghost refers to a dickens character. oops…that would involve actual reading for you and not just “spewing”….maybe i ask for too much.
so i should get to know you? okay, i’ll bite…… why don’t you explain this one? “This is not to claim that I have not done stupid things. Building and firing a potato gun, breaking a window and then denying all of it, could be considered stupid, when finding out later my dad saw me do it.”
just how old are you anyway? potato gun? yet you claim you were in the military? boy scouts doesn’t count honey…..

Thank you for confirming my thought, proudofyourfatlyingass.
I see you can’t resist answering. Though you missed the entire point of my comment.
The potato gun incident is from my childhood. I know your childhood was traumatic, but certainly you must remember humorous incidents from that time period.
It is sinful the way you toss out accusations and hope someone will believe. My reference to you being of “Christian” belief was strictly sarcasm, and not based on your christmasghost character. I am familiar with Dickens.
My use of grapic language indicates an ability to communicate at multiple levels. I have not a single need to put on airs. It is painfully obvious that same is not true for you.
I did notice that you failed to answer/avoided my direct question to you. There is only one reason to do so. To deny would be to lie. To confirm would put you in the same boat as pullinhispud. Grab an oar, baby, you are in it.
I do feel sorry for you. You are sad. You have an irresistable need feel better than others. You spent countless hours trying to locate me. You spent even more time trying to locate Teresa place of employment. You spent hours crafting nasty comments designed to make you feel superior by tearing down someone else. You are consumed with one upping everyone. Your vocabulary/thesaurus use is quite impressive. The flowery words don’t make you a better person. But you keep trying.
Good luck.
How is that family business going?

Honey? Look bitch, I am not your honey. You seem to think that using this term somehow affects me, put me down. It does not.
It does show you for the condesending, disingenuous, sanctimonious bitch that you have proven yourself to be. Time and time again.
Hugs and kisses.

carl….there was a direct question worth answering? you mean do i post under other names? no i don’t. this is it…christmasghost.like i said before….ask goldy, he’ll tell you.
now, this next part i really don’t understand. not being a smart ass here, i really don’t know what you are talking about…so could you explain yourself? did i miss a post or something?
“I do feel sorry for you. You are sad. You have an irresistable need feel better than others. You spent countless hours trying to locate me.

what are you talking about? and who is teresa?
oh, and the business is great. thanks for asking.
christmasghost spews:
oh and carl…the reason i asked about your age versus potato guns is that they were a relatively new thing when my sons made them on the ranch, and they are just in their twenties.
that’s all…..
and i don’t use a dictionary or thesaurus [obviously] i probably should………
My Left Foot spews:
I made my first potato gun in the early ’70s. I was around 12 or so.
I have my doubts as to whether or not you posted under another name in the past. All the references I have used are culled from my memory of comments left by the previously mentioned howcanyoubeproudtobeafatlyingass.
Your tone, writing style and wording are an exact match. The only difference is the lack of capitalization.
christmasghost spews:
my left foot….oh, please. just ask goldy for cripes sake! what are you doing…playing CLUE?
well, if you are it was christmasghost in the parlor with the poison….don’t be such a goof.
and i hardly write like the other poster you are mentioning.
goldy put you up to this because he’s feeling pissy, didn’t he?
geez goldy, grow up!

as far as potato guns go…you are right….i just had never heard of them until our sons and their friends made them on the ranch.but my husband assured me that even he made them. it was news to me! LOL.
christmasghost spews:
hey? what’s with the double/partial post?
it took forever too…goldy, your software need updating or something?
