Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

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

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Let me file that under fuck it.

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

In short, I come down firmly on all sides of the issue.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

Trump makes a mockery of the legal system and cowardly judges just sit back and let him.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

He really is that stupid.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

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

Ah, the different things are different argument.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Wake up. Grow up. Get in the fight.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

QB Sneak

This is just weird:

Police have flagged a man for an illegal quarterback sneak.

Authorities said Brian Jackson, 31, dated two women by pretending to be Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Brian St. Pierre.

Jackson, arrested Friday, was charged with harassment for allegedly continuing to contact both women after they learned of the ruses. He was also charged with criminal mischief for allegedly ruining a Steelers jersey owned by one of the women’s neighbors when he signed his worthless rendition of Roethlisberger’s autograph on it. The jersey was worth $75 before it was signed, police said.

Jackson and his attorney, Paul Boas, declined comment after he was arraigned in Pittsburgh City Court and released on an unsecured bond Friday. Boas again declined comment when reached at his office. Jackson faces a preliminary hearing July 25.

The team didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

In one of the scams, Jackson arrived at the woman’s home on July 6, gave her an autographed football and pretended to be Roethlisberger, signing the neighbor’s jersey, authorities said.

Personal Foul. Ben Roethlisberger is ginormous, around 6’6″, and St. Pierre is 6’3″-4″ or so, if I remember correctly. I wondered how tall this impersonator was…

    You can pick up chicks in Pittsburgh by pretending to be Brian St. Pierre?????? He couldn’t even pick up chicks at Boston College being Brian St. Pierre!

    John,

    Now don’t go getting any ideas. Though that stuffed&mounted&watching “Stiller” highlights in the hereafter might suit you down to the ground.

    Cordially…

    Hmm, I went to Miami University. Maybe I could put on some of my old gear, come up to PA, and impersonate Big Ben. So what that I’m only 6’1″, 150#, and balding. If the young lady was drunk and near sited, it just might work. Worst thing that happens, I drink a little Iron City.

    Near “sighted” that should’ve been.

    Interesting.

    One of my girlfriend’s best friends here in Lancaster, PA has a daughter attending one of the colleges in Pgh. She works at a coffee shop in the city, and we were told by this girlfriend’s friend last winter, during the NFL season, that (someone identifying himself as) Ben Roethlisberger had been visiting the shop and making flirtatious advances on her. I don’t know if it went anywhere, but I am having a hard time now thinking that he could have been anyone other than Jackson. Huh.

    Update: Girlfriend’s friend confirms that her daughter did indeed encounter the “real” Ben Roethlisberger.

    As you were…
