Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Following reporting rules is only for the little people, apparently.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

When you’re a Republican, they let you do it.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

They Have Arrived

We have once again made it through the barren, empty, lonely wilderness that is spring and summer, to arrive once again at that glorious destination that is known as football season. My beloved Steelers are back in action. Life is good.

*** Update ***

Will the Detroit mother who left her eleven children at the stadium please go pick them up? They are beating the Steelers 23-6.

I don’t know who that lazy, shiftless, worthless, untalented group of losers that dressed up as Steelers today were, but I do not recognize them.

    The Steelers are my second favorite team (have been since I fell in love with the Steel Curtain, Bradshaw, Swann, Stallworth & co.) and would love to see them match up against Mike Vick, Peerless Price, Warrick Dunn & my Falcons next January.

    Calling the Steelers “that lazy, shiftless, worthless, untalented group of losers” is a harsh way of supporting your team. I do like it though.

    I can only imagine the comments if the Steelers kept Kordell around…

    Easy, there fella, you’ll blow a gasket before the football season ever starts! We can’t have you hors de combat during the political silly season.
