Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

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

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

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

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

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

Balloon Juice has never been a refuge for the linguistically delicate.

He really is that stupid.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

After roe, women are no longer free.

Second rate reporter says what?

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Usually wrong but never in doubt

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

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

Today’s GOP: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Battle won, war still ongoing.

Football Saturday Became Football Sunday and extended on to today. I am attending to some personal matters and will be back later.

Consider this an open thread to fill me in on things I may have missed.

    If football saturday became football sunday you probably didn’t miss the fact that the steelers are the best team in the nfl

    (Even if that fat bastard Peter King somehow has the Pats ranked ahead of the steelers)

    nothing else of signifigance happened

    I don’t disagree with that, but I have to say that, granted they played two atrocious offensive teams, but it looks like Indy is finally getting a defense, which would make them pretty dangerous.

    I have no loyalty to Indy whatsoever (I’m an Eagles fan), but it looks like signing Corey Simon (and watching the Colts/Ravens game last Sunday, I never thought Corey Simon’s ass could get any bigger than it was last season but it has) to take up room in the middle is really helping Freeney in particular and the defense in general.

    Here’s one you should like:

    Cindy Sheehan (remember her?) is railing against Hilary Clinton for supporting the war. Cindy’s demanding, and I mean DEMANDING, that Hilary change her tune, pronto.

    Is it too early for me to mention that West Virginia, even at home, will be lucky to play Louisville within three touchdowns?

    If you think the cards are a bunch of hype, good. That will make it all the sweeter on October 15.

    The mountaineers really need to keep winning though. Unfortunately, the Louisville schedule is weak, especially after Syracuse and Pitt have proven to be mediocre. So here is hoping (that’s what atheists do) the Mountaineers can go 10-1, and give the Cards that one quality win.

    Believe the Hype

    I will even be a homer two-fer.

    I am looking forward to the Bungals (wait, I mean the Bengals) and the Steelers. Don’t get me wrong, the Steelers are the better team, but Cinci will be competitive, and I am predicting a split.

    I am trying to think of a way to open myself up to more ridicule than this, but I am confident that a loyal cubs fan that is believing in a Bengals football team should capture the George Costanza ‘I am the world’s biggest idiot’ award.

    Elections in Afghanistan and Germany. You know, freedom on the march and all that.

    Clinton (Bill) launches withering attack on Bush. There’s some blogging grist for ya.

    Also, Roethlisberger + Hines = delicious football.
