Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I would gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Keep the Immigrants and deport the fascists!

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

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

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

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

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

No one could have predicted…

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

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

Steelers Win

The Steelers win 18-3, thoroughly dominating the hapless Vikings. Despite the interminable idiocy of Randy Cross, who may be the dumbest person this side of Jerry Glanville to step into a booth, it was nice to see a dominating defensive performance from the Stillers.

Oh, and rumor has it that Tim F. has returned from his trip and will be posting again shortly.

    The Steelers dominated exactly NOTHING. The Vikings beat the living hell out of themselves with all of those bonehead mistakes.

    I concur totally on the Randy 49er judgement though.

    95% of all sports TV commentators are morons. Why do you think Dennis Miller only lasted two seasons on MNF? He was too smart for the average viewer. (Don’t get me wrong, I’m not busting on football fans. Miller is too smart for the average person in general, but the bar is a little lower for sports fans.) My roommate thinks you should get a quarter from the network, to be taken out of the commentators’ paychecks, every time they say something about a play that you already said. That happens all the time when I watch football on TV; either I or someone else watching it will say something and then a commentator will say it. Personally, I’d make about forty or fifty bucks a season under this plan.

    And fuck the Colts. As I was posting in the other thread, I thought to myself, “I shouldn’t be posting this.” I’m gonna jinx something. And then San Diego goes and blows the Colts’ perfect season, staying a game ahead of Pittsburgh in the Wild Card race. Not only that, but I was hoping Indy would finish the regular season undefeated, so Manning choking in the post season (probably on Tom Brady) would be even sweeter.

    Actually, they’re tied and Pittsburgh has the head-to-head tiebreaker, but I don’t know why I thought San Diego was up on them.

    …it was nice to see a dominating defensive performance from the Stillers.

    I would have thought the Stillers would be more passive-aggressive than defensive.

    Yep, it was a bad game for my Vikings.

    We need to get rid of our coach. Nice guy but he does not know how to lead a team.

    It just makes me so happy that when the Stillers lost to the Bunguls, yeah I will always call them that, everybody was saying oh there done for the season. There goes the playoffs. To everybody who said that, especially the Steelers fans, may you all be forced to be a Cleveland Browns fan. That is my idea of hell.
