Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

Ron DeSantis, the grand wizard, oops, governor of FL

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

No one could have predicted…

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Second rate reporter says what?

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

T R E 4 5 O N

I conferred with the team and they all agree – still not tired of winning!

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

“Squeaker” McCarthy

Take your GOP plan out of the witness protection program.

    The team’s been running on fumes for a month and we got more out of Big Ben this year than we had any right to expect. He hit the same wall all rookies hit (11 games). I’m a lot happier about the next 10-15 Steeler years, though, than I would be without him.

    I think Jim nailed it: the Steelers peaked during late October and early November, and had been trending downwards ever since — toward the end of the regular season they were barely getting past some pretty mediocre opponents. And if last week the Jets have competent coaching and/or Doug Brien makes one of those two field goal attempts, the Steelers are watching this game on television. That’s not a good kind of momentum to be riding into a conference championship game.

    I don’t have a lot of respect for Bill Cowher — beneath the thrust-chin tough guy facade, he’s always struck me as somebody who’s much too much in touch with his Inner Two-Year-Old to keep a professional coaching gig. But even though I suspect this loss will sting for a while, I think Steelers fans have a lot to be proud of this team for. The future with Big Ben at the helm certainly looks bright.

    […] I am glad to see Broncs diehard Jeff Goldstein is ok. I was on the other end last year and miserable for a good while. […]
