Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

American history and black history cannot be separated.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

When we show up, we win.

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

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

Worst Team in Football

If you are just acsual fan of the NFL, you might be wondering why the Steelers are doing sopoorly this year. I think the final three plays in today’s loss to the Bengals might go a long way in illustrating the Steelers problems.

With 13 seconds left in the game, trailing 24-20 (after blowing the lead in 40 seconds), the Steelers have the ball 1st and 10 on the 20 yard line. On first down, with a 4 man rush, the ball is batted down. On 2nd and 10 with 9 seconds left in the game, Maddox is sacked for an 8 yard loss, and a time-out is called qit 1 second remaining. Guess what play the Steelers, in their infinte wisdom, called on 3rd and 18, trailing 24-20, with 88 yards to go and 1 second on the clock:

A screen pass to Amos Zeroue, who can’t run more than 40 yards without getting winded.

We deserve to be the worst team in football.
