Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans in disarray!

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

Second rate reporter says what?

No Justins, No Peace

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

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

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

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

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

Thanks for reminding me that Van Jones needs to be slapped.

Let’s finish the job.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Depression

Sorry, but I don’t feel like blogging today. I don’t feel like doing anything today.

Life sucks. IF we had done anything more than winning the coin toss, I could accept this. But that was just a total collapse.

    I feel your pain John, but try to look on the bright side. You have a young, up and coming QB (even if he faded somewhat down the stretch). The Bus my retire, but you still have Staley. The defence will still be solid and your stable of receivers is pretty sweet. The Steelers are on the upside of multi-season run here. Take it from a die hard Packer fan, where it is very clear that we are on the down slope of ours.

    Sounds like a case of Post Playoff Loss Stress Disorder. My advice to you, John, is to take today, drink heavily, and move on.

    John I feel your pain (my blog wears black today). I didn’t sleep well last night and I am in a bad mood today. The what might have beens can eat you up.

    But I think it is unfair to call it a total collapse. The turnovers simply changed the nature of the game. I am as biased as they come, but I think the defense played rather well considering. You just can’t play the same way when you are down 21 points and when the offense gives the ball up 4 times to a very good team. The Steelers were not designed to get into a shootout in which they were constantly behind.

    Face it, it is nearly impossible to take a rookie QB to the Super Bowl. It has never been done. heck the youngest QB to ever play in the SB was Brady I think and he was 24. Ben is 22.

    The pain is real but so is the season. Remember last year at 6-10? What would you rather have?

    Well, you could always tell yourself “it’s just a damned game, played by a bunch of millionaires who wouldn’t give me the time of day if it’d save my life”.

    Which would have the added benefit of being true.

    Steelers’ game plan was faulty. Roethlesberger (?sp) is a rookie. Cowher has a penchant for sticking too long with what does not work. Wait till next year!

    I feel your pain (most intensely, see Super Bowl XXXVII). But I kept my promise and rooted for the Steelers – a first in this lifetime – until the bitter end.

    I guess we’re all Eagles fans for the next 2 weeks, huh?

    No, I’m a Patriots fan next week.

    Why? I can’t stand the Eagles. Even if it means the Patriots have to win, I am very much against those annoying fans.

    I wouldn’t have been this way if my family hadn’t moved to the Philly area. I’m sure they are being harassed AS WE SPEAK by Eagles fans. Fans who are too smug for their own good. Go Patriots.
