Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

In after Baud. Damn.

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

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

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

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

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

Our messy unity will be our strength.

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

If America since Jan 2025 hasn’t broken your heart, you haven’t loved her enough.

The Giant Orange Man Baby is having a bad day.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Come on, man.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Republicans do not trust women.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

Baby steps, because the Republican Party is full of angry babies.

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

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Steelers Sunday

The Steelers take on the Vikings in another must win, and the Steelers have received some help getting a Wild card berth with the Chiefs losing yesterday to the Tiki Barber and ten other people.

For the record, I hate watching football in domes. Go Steelers!

    Let’s hope the Steelers’ defense is better than Al Maviva’s lying defense of Bush’s illegal spying.

    Why do you people always assume people you disagree with are lying rather than just wrong?

    Really.

    It will be easier to defend against the Vikings than it will be to defend the President spying on US Citizens and crapping on the constitution.

    Go Steelers!

    Even though I am a huge fan of Big Ben (I went to MU). With that broken thumb, it’s time to jump on the Sidney Crosby band wagon. The kid is incredible. Plus hockey is just more fun to watch.

    Go Vikes!

    Actualy, don’t both teams have a winning streak on the line? The Vikings actually have a chance (small) of taking the division. Given the Steelers are already in the playoff, I like the chances of a win this week. It is kind of sad though that this is the only way they can get in. They haven’t played great in this streak, only well enough to win.

    I agree about watching football in domes; we need Met Stadium again, so the visiting teams really feel what December in Minnesota is like.

    Go Vikings!

    There’s a really good chance the Steelers can make the playoffs. Their last three are easy: Minnesota, Cleveland and Detroit. The other two wild card contenders are in worse trouble, with San Diego playing Indy and Denver. Kansas City lost to NY and finishes with Cincinnati. In between, they play each other.

    So far the game can go either way. Both sides are making stupid mistakes, but so far they seem to be more advantageous for the vikes. Skol Vikings, Skol!
