Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You don’t get to peddle hatred on saturday and offer condolences on sunday.

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

Fight them, without becoming them!

People are complicated. Love is not.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

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

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Dear elected officials: Trump is temporary, dishonor is forever.

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

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

People are weird.

Accountability, motherfuckers.

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

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

I would try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Am I the only one who thinks Lila (Stephanie Romanov) from Angel is insanely hot?

And why hasn’t she been in anything else, really?

    No. And I did the same search when I first came across her in Angel. (Or after the Wes/Lila relationship.)

    That is Michael Demmon’s site- he used to be Poliblogger Discount Blogger, but now runs Gay Orbit. I link to him all the time- yoiu have seen his site before.

    Michael Demmons.

    Very hot, especially [spoilers skipped]. And note that being hot while cast across from [spoilers] is even more impressive.

    Michael Demmons was the Discount Blogger, not the Poliblogger. Steven Taylor runs poliblogger.

    Lila, you’re breaking my heart. She has a cameo on Homicide Life on the streets around the fourth or fifth season. She is definetly the hot one. jg, hows does one gay ad turn into ads? Even if there were multiple gay ads so what. John you can’t even have a nice Lila tribute post without a jackass.

    “Am I the only one who thinks Lila (Stephanie Romanov) from Angel is insanely hot?”

    No, she is hot, and I’m a female.
    But, be that as it may, get a date, John, okay? Between this and the cat thing, we’re starting to worry.

    The most cursory of web searches should be sufficient to reassure you that you’re not the only one.

    Of course she’s hot. To quote Wesley’s great attempt to explain their relationship to someone else, “It’s…not always about holding hands.”

    I don’t know. How? (This is a riddle right?)

    I don’t care how many gay ads he has. I was just making a joke about not knowing if I hit the Ameriblog link or the Balloon Juice one.

    “holding hands”

    So much for despoilering.

    She’s stunning–reminds me a little of a slightly heavier Paulina Porizkova. Not a bad actress, either.

    Still–I’m more partial to Eliza Dushku (Faith), Robia LaMorte (Jenny), and Amy Acker (Fred).

    Don’t forget Julie Benz.

    Stephanie had a memorable guest appearance in the 2nd season of Just Shoot Me, and was cast in the shortlived (but still remembered as a guilty pleasure) Aaron Spelling show Models Inc.

    Wow, a bunch of Angel fans. I loved Lila, especially in her relationship with Wesley. Can act circles around Julie Benz, who seems to have 2 settings: purring, baby kitten & insane psychopath, regardless of what she’s in.

    I would still take Amy Acker over Stephanie Romanov, but she’s a close 2nd.
