Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

šŸŽ¶ Those boots were made for mockin’ šŸŽµ

Everybody saw this coming.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.

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

Peak wingnut was a lie.

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

… pundit janitors mopping up after the GOP

ā€œI never thought they’d lock HIM up,ā€ sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

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

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Cole is on a roll !

Within six months Twitter will be fully self-driving.

It’s a doggy dog world.

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

Good lord, these people are nuts.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Putin dreamed of ending NATO, and now it’s Finnish-ed.

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!
