Expect light posting from me the next few days, and perhaps a few service interruptions, as I implement some major upgrades under the hood in preparation for some exciting new changes here at HA. Stay tuned and 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!
These messages are always tantalizing. Since Goldy is never forthcoming about what’s coming next, shall we indulge in wild speculation to fuel rumors?
Any theories about what changes are coming? HA franchises? New labeling or ratings system to weed out trolls? Free beer? Goldy giving up blogging to run for WA-08 CD?
Democracy! Whiskey! Sexy!
Goldy consortium buying P-I?
A refridgerator beer keg?!
Ooo… I vote for free beer and bikini girls with machine guns!

Great way to lead off in the wake of Jan 20.
becoming commerce secretary?
You’re buying the PI ??!!
I hope the edit function will work better. My troubles with it are endless.
@9 Haven’t you heard? It’s for sale again. I bet you could get it for $1 plus assuming their indebtedness. Then you’ll have Frank Blethen as a business partner.
Have patience, people. We’re working as hard and fast as we can.
(And there are no current plans to fiddle with the edit function)
Boeing To Lay Off 4,500 Workers
BREAKING — King 5 News says Boeing plans to eliminate 4,500 jobs, mostly in the Puget Sound area, erasing all of the company’s 2008 job gains. While some workers will be eliminated through attrition, the company expects most of these job losses to be layoffs. Contract engineers and workers in overhead positions will bear the brunt of the layoffs, while production workers generally will be spared.
Meanwhile, as further evidence that this recession is real and is deepening, the nationwide December jobs report is as bad as November’s, with over 540,000 jobs being lost last month, and the national unemployment rate now stands at 7.2% — the worst since 1992, when a faltering economy cost Bush Sr. re-election.
Why does the economy always suck under Republican presidents? It appears to me that Republicans don’t care about jobs or workers. In fact, Republican employers love high unemployment because it keeps workers cowed and allows them to push wages down. Republican economic policies seem designed to keep unemployment high.
@12 Who the fuck elected you to speak for this blog’s management? Crawl back into your woodpecker hole in your rotting stump.
Holy cow, is Troll posing as Goldy, or has Goldy been posting all this time as Troll?! Is the blog about to be renamed, HairyTrollsAss.org?!
Discuss…
RR @ 14: Troll likes to pretend that he has a position in this blog. He regularly tries to give orders to Goldy about what to do. It’s kindof sad.
I’m guessing he also dresses up in military or police uniforms, so he can pretend to give orders to people around him.
16 – He’d better not carry a rifle on some kind of “tagger hunt”.
@17 Yeah, the last guy who did got shot.
