For those interested in such things, I would like to introduce another long-running blog (since 2004), HorsesAss.org, which tries to offer “the straight poop on WA politics.”

From it’s “About” page comes this description of the blog’s origin.

Goldy (Founder/Blogger-in-Chief) — email: goldy at horsesass.org
David “Goldy” Goldstein is an accidental activist who stumbled into politics in 2003 with a satirical statewide initiative to officially proclaim WA’s serial anti-tax initiative sponsor, Tim Eyman, “a horse’s ass.” A conscientious political press corp, weary of Eyman’s outrageous antics, turned its coverage to Goldy’s outrageous antics, sparking a spontaneous grassroots movement to gather nearly 50,000 signatures before a humorless Attorney General managed to get an equally humorless judge to issue an injunction shutting down the campaign.

A year later Goldy transformed his campaign website into this local, political blog. A mix of snark, satire, muckraking, and surprisingly thoughtful analysis, HorsesAss.org quickly became the most influential blog in WA state, and one of the most widely read local political blogs in the nation.

Check it out. It might just earn a spot on your list of favorite sites.
