Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

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

Not all heroes wear capes.

Cole is on a roll !

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

The rest of the comments were smacking Boebert like she was a piñata.

Many life forms that would benefit from greater intelligence, sadly, do not have it.

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

Sports Mania

These findings don’t surprise me at all:

– When given three choices to describe how close they feel to their favorite sports team (1- not close, 2-close, but can survive without them, 3- very close), 75% of respondents claimed they had a very close emotional relationship.

– 92% of respondents claimed they are stressed/nervous when watching their favorite sports team play a critical game.

– 75% of respondents claimed they become angry/irritable after their favorite sports team loses a critical game. 63% claim they have been depressed or have cried after their favorite team lost a critical game.

– 21% of respondents claimed they have gotten into a verbal altercation with someone who taunted them after their favorite team lost a critical game.

– 93% of respondents claimed they feel a friendly connection with other fans of their favorite team. Only 21% of respondents claim they are more likely to befriend a person knowing he is found of a team they root for.

I personally think Browns fans suffer from a genetic defect, and have been known to cross the street to avoid someone wearing Browns gear, so as to make sure I am not tempted to say something rude.

    Being a Saints fan, I can’t really respond to questions 2-4, my team having never really played in a critical game.
