Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

“Just close your eyes and kiss the girl and go where the tilt-a-whirl takes you.” ~OzarkHillbilly

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

People are weird.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

The line between political reporting and fan fiction continues to blur.

“I was told there would be no fact checking.”

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Bark louder, little dog.

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

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

There are some who say that there are too many strawmen arguments on this blog.

Go Steelers! Beat the Ravens!

Tim is actually at the game with a camera, so hopefully we will have some pictures tomorrow.

*** Update ***

10-10 at the half. I think the reason so many terrible towels are flying is a commentary on the Steelers play, whch has been less than perfect.

*** Update ***

Thank God. The call from the governor came through in time.

And that is how this game really felt- a last minute stay of execution. Steelers win a squeaker, 20-19.

    With both Lewis and Reed out we better handle these guys easy… I hate the Ravens and relish the chance to kick them while they are down.

    I need to find another team to back. Mine (the Vikings)is self-destructing so fast, I doubt they will finish out the year.

    Hrmmm . . . can a team become so bad that they cease to exist, leaving the NFL with 35 teams?

    Nawww, the Bengals are still around.
